This prospectus describes information you should know before you purchase The
Director Plus variable annuity. Please read it carefully.
We call this annuity Director Plus because each time you make a Premium Payment,
Hartford will credit your Contract Value with a Payment Enhancement.
The Director Plus variable annuity is a contract between you and Hartford Life
and Annuity Insurance Company where you agree to make at least one Premium
Payment to us and we agree to make a series of Annuity Payouts at a later date.
This Annuity is a flexible premium, tax-deferred, variable annuity offered to
both individuals and groups. It is:
x Flexible, because you may add Premium Payments at any time.
x Tax-deferred, which means you don't pay taxes until you take money out or
until we start to make Annuity Payouts.
x Variable, because the value of your Annuity will fluctuate with the
performance of the underlying funds.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the time you purchase your Annuity, you allocate your Premium Payment to
"Sub-Accounts". These are subdivisions of our Separate Account, an account that
keeps your Annuity assets separate from our company assets. The Sub-Accounts
then purchase shares of mutual funds set up exclusively for variable annuity or
variable life insurance products. These funds are not the same mutual funds that
you buy through your stockbroker or through a retail mutual fund. They may have
similar investment strategies and the same portfolio managers as retail mutual
funds. This Annuity offers you Funds with investment strategies ranging from
conservative to aggressive and you may pick those Funds that meet your
investment goals and risk tolerance. The Sub-Accounts and the Funds are listed
below:
- - HARTFORD ADVISERS HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of Class IB of
Hartford Advisers HLS Fund, Inc.
- - HARTFORD BOND HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of Class IB of
Hartford Bond HLS Fund, Inc.
- - HARTFORD CAPITAL HLS FUND APPRECIATION SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of
Class IB of Hartford Capital Appreciation HLS Fund, Inc.
- - HARTFORD DIVIDEND AND GROWTH HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of
Class IB of Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund, Inc.
- - HARTFORD GLOBAL LEADERS HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of
Class IB of Hartford Global Leaders HLS Fund.
- - HARTFORD GROWTH AND INCOME HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of
Class IB of Hartford Growth and Income HLS Fund.
- - HARTFORD HIGH YIELD HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of Class IB of
Hartford High Yield HLS Fund.
- - HARTFORD INDEX HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of Class IB of
Hartford Index HLS Fund, Inc.
- - HARTFORD INTERNATIONAL ADVISERS HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of
Class IB of Hartford International Advisers HLS Fund, Inc.
- - HARTFORD INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases
shares of Class IB of Hartford International Opportunities HLS Fund, Inc.
- - HARTFORD MIDCAP HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of Class IB of
Hartford MidCap HLS Fund, Inc.
- - HARTFORD MONEY MARKET HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of Class IB
of Hartford Money Market HLS Fund, Inc.
- - HARTFORD MORTGAGE SECURITIES HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT that purchases shares of
Class IB of Hartford Mortgage Securities HLS Fund, Inc.
- - HARTFORD SMALL COMPANY HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of
Class IB of Hartford Small Company HLS Fund, Inc.
- - HARTFORD STOCK HLS FUND SUB-ACCOUNT which purchases shares of Class IB of
Hartford Stock HLS Fund, Inc.
You may also allocate some or all of your Premium Payment to the "Fixed
Accumulation Feature", which pays an interest rate guaranteed for a certain time
period from the time the Premium Payment is made. Premium Payments allocated to
the Fixed Accumulation Feature are not segregated from our company assets like
the assets of the Separate Account.

the "average" impact of the Annual Maintenance Fee on an investment in the
Separate Account. We do this by approximating an "average" 0.06% annual charge.

HIGHLIGHTS
HOW DO I PURCHASE THIS ANNUITY?
You must complete our application or order request and submit it to us for
approval with your first Premium Payment. Your first Premium Payment must be at
least $10,000 and subsequent Premium Payments must be at least $500, unless you
take advantage of our InvestEase-Registered Trademark- Program or are part of
certain retirement plans.
- For a limited time, usually within ten days after you receive your Contract,
you may cancel your Annuity without paying a Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge. You may bear the investment risk for your Premium Payment prior to
our receipt of your request for cancellation.
WHAT ARE PAYMENT ENHANCEMENTS?
Each time you make a Premium Payment, Hartford will credit your Contract Value
with a Payment Enhancement. The amount of the Payment Enhancement is based on
your cumulative Premium Payments.
Hartford has developed a variety of variable annuities to help you meet your
goals. We issue variable annuities that do not have Payment Enhancements, but
that do have lower Mortality and Expense Risk Charges and shorter Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge periods than this annuity. When you talk to your financial
adviser, you should make sure that an annuity with a Payment Enhancement is the
right annuity for you.
WHAT TYPE OF SALES CHARGE WILL I PAY?
You don't pay a sales charge when you purchase your Annuity. We may charge you a
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge when you partially or fully Surrender your
Annuity. The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will depend on the length of time
the Premium Payment you made has been in your Annuity. If the amount you paid
has been in your Annuity for:

</TABLE>
You won't be charged a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on:
x The Annual Withdrawal Amount
x Premium Payments that have been in your Annuity for more than seven years.
x Payment Enhancements or earnings
x Distributions made due to death
x Most payments we make to you as part of your Annuity Payout
IS THERE AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE?
We deduct this $30.00 fee each year on your Contract Anniversary or when you
fully Surrender your Annuity, if, on either of those dates, the value of your
Annuity is less than $50,000.
WHAT CHARGES WILL I PAY ON AN ANNUAL BASIS?
In addition to the Annual Maintenance Fee, you pay two other types of charges
each year. The first type of charge is the fee you pay for insurance. This
charge is:
A mortality and expense risk charge that is subtracted daily and is equal to an
annual charge of 1.45% of your Contract Value invested in the Funds.
The second type of charge is the fee you pay for the Funds.
Currently, Fund charges range from 0.58% to 1.05% annually of the average daily
value of the amount you have invested in the Funds. See the Annual Fund
Operating Expenses table for more complete information and the Funds'
prospectuses accompanying this prospectus.
If you elect the Optional Death Benefit, we will subtract an additional charge
on a daily basis until we begin to make Annuity Payouts that is equal to an
annual charge of .15% of your Contract Value invested in the Funds.
CAN I TAKE OUT ANY OF MY MONEY?
You may Surrender all or part of the amounts you have invested at any time
before we start making Annuity Payouts, or after Annuity Payouts begin under the
Payments for a Period Certain Annuity Payout Option.
- 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.
- You may have to pay a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on the money you
Surrender.
WILL HARTFORD PAY A DEATH BENEFIT?
There is a Death Benefit if the Contract Owner, joint owner or the Annuitant die
before we begin to make Annuity Payouts. The Death Benefit will be calculated as
of the date we receive a certified death certificate or other legal document
acceptable to us. The Death Benefit amount will remain invested in the Sub-
Accounts according to your last instructions and will fluctuate with the
performance of the underlying Funds.
The Death Benefit is the greater of:
- - The total Premium Payments you have made to us minus the dollar amount of any
partial Surrenders, or
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 11
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - The Contract Value of your Annuity minus any Payment Enhancements credited in
the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the Death Benefit, or,
- - Your Maximum Anniversary Value, which is described below, minus any Payment
Enhancements credited in the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the
Death Benefit.
The Maximum Anniversary Value is based on a series of calculations on Contract
Anniversaries of Contract Values, Premium Payments, Payment Enhancements and
partial Surrenders. We will calculate an Anniversary Value for each Contract
Anniversary prior to the deceased's 81st birthday or date of death, whichever is
earlier. The Anniversary Value is equal to the Contract Value as of a Contract
Anniversary, increased by the dollar amount of any Premium Payments and Payment
Enhancements made since that anniversary and reduced by the dollar amount of any
partial Surrenders since that anniversary. The Maximum Anniversary Value is
equal to the greatest Anniversary Value attained from this series of
calculations.
If you elect the Optional Death Benefit at an additional charge, the Death
Benefit will be the greater of:
- - The total Premium Payments you have made to us minus any amounts you have
Surrendered;
- - The Contract Value of your Annuity, minus any Payment Enhancements credited in
the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the Death Benefit;
- - Your Maximum Anniversary Value; or
- - Your Interest Accumulation Value.
The Interest Accumulation Value prior to the deceased's date of death or 81st
birthday, whichever is earlier is equal to:
- - The Contract Value of your Annuity minus any Payment Enhancements credited in
the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the Death Benefit;
- - Plus any Premium Payments made;
- - Minus any partial Surrenders;
- - Compounded daily at an annual rate of 5.0%.
The Optional Death Benefit Rider may not be available if the Contract Owner or
Annuitant is age 75 or older. The Optional Death Benefit is not available in the
state of Washington.
The Optimal Death Benefit calculation will be different if you do not elect the
Optional Death Benefit with your initial Premium Payment.
WHAT ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?
When it comes time for us to make Annuity Payouts, you may choose one of the
following Annuity Payout Options: Option 1 -- Life Annuity, Option 2 -- Life
Annuity with Cash Refund, Option 3 -- Life Annuity with Payments for a Period
Certain, Option 4 -- Joint and Last Survivor Life, Option 5 -- Joint and Last
Survivor Life with Payments for a Period Certain and Option 6 -- Payment For a
Period Certain. We may make other Annuity Payout Options available at any time.
You must begin to take payouts by the Annuitant's 90th birthday or the end of
the 10th Contract Year, whichever is 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 make payments under Option 3 -- Life Annuity with a 10 year
Period Certain.

THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account is where we set aside and invest the assets of some of our
annuity contracts, including this Contract. The Separate Account was established
on May 20, 1991 and is registered as a unit investment trust under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. This registration does not involve supervision
by the Commission of the management or the investment practices of the Separate
Account or Hartford. The Separate Account meets the definition of "separate
account" under federal securities law. This Separate Account holds only assets
for variable annuity contracts. The Separate Account:
- - Holds assets for the benefit of you and other Contract Owners, and the persons
entitled to the payments described in the Contract.
- - Is not subject to the liabilities arising out of any other business Hartford
may conduct.
- - Is not affected by the rate of return of Hartford's General Account or by the
investment performance of any of Hartford's other separate accounts.
- - May be subject to liabilities from a Sub-Account of the Separate Account which
holds assets of other variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance
policies offered by the Separate Account which are not described in this
Prospectus.
- - Is credited with income and gains, and takes losses, whether or not realized,
from the assets it holds.
We do not guarantee the investment results of the Separate Account. There is no
assurance that the value of your Annuity will equal the total of the payments
you make to us.
THE FUNDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of the Funds are sponsored and administered by Hartford Life Insurance
Company. HL Investment Advisors, Inc. ("HL Advisors") serves as the investment
adviser to each of the Funds. Wellington Management Company, LLP ("Wellington
Management") and The Hartford Investment Management Company ("HIMCO") serve as
sub-investment advisers and provide day to day investment services.
Each Fund, except for the Hartford Global Leaders HLS Fund, the Hartford Growth
and Income HLS Fund and the Hartford High Yield HLS Fund, is a separate Maryland
corporation registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an open-
end management investment company. The Hartford Global Leaders HLS Fund, the
Hartford Growth and Income HLS Fund and the Hartford High Yield HLS Fund are
diversified series of Hartford Series Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation, also
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an open-end management
investment company. The shares of each Fund have been divided into Class IA and
Class IB. Only Class IB shares are available in this Annuity.
We do not guarantee the investment results of any of the underlying Funds. Since
each underlying Fund has different investment objectives, each is subject to
different risks. These risks and the Funds' expenses, policies and procedures
are more fully described in the accompanying Funds' prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information, which you may order from us. The Funds' prospectus
should be read in conjunction with this prospectus before investing.
The Funds may not be available in all states.

investing in common stocks and other equity securities, bonds and other debt
securities, and money market instruments. Sub-advised by Wellington Management.

securities. Up to 20% of the total assets of this Fund may be invested in debt
securities rated in the highest category below investment grade ("Ba" by Moody's
Investor Services, Inc. or "BB" by Standard & Poor's) or, if unrated, are
determined to be of comparable quality by the Fund's investment adviser.
Securities rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as "high
yield-high risk securities" or "junk bonds." For more information concerning the
risks associated with investing in such securities, please refer to the section
in the accompanying prospectus for the Funds entitled "Hartford Bond HLS Fund,
Inc." Sub-advised by HIMCO.
HARTFORD CAPITAL APPRECIATION HLS FUND -- Seeks growth of capital by investing
in equity securities selected solely on the basis of potential for capital
appreciation. Sub-advised by Wellington Management.

consistent with growth of capital by investing primarily in dividend paying
securities. Sub-advised by Wellington Management.
HARTFORD GLOBAL LEADERS HLS FUND -- Seeks growth of capital by investing
primarily in equity securities issued by U.S. company and non-U.S. high quality
growth companies worldwide that, in the opinion of Wellington Management, are
leaders within their respective industries as indicated by an established market
presence and strong competitive position on a global, regional or country basis.
Sub-advised by Wellington Management.
HARTFORD GROWTH AND INCOME HLS FUND -- Seeks growth of capital and current
income by investing primarily in equity securities with earnings growth
potential and steady rising dividends. Sub-advised by Wellington Management.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 13
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HARTFORD HIGH YIELD HLS FUND -- Seeks high current income by investing in
non-grade fixed-income securities. Growth of capital is a secondary objective.
Securities rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as "high
yield-high risk securities" or "junk bonds." For more information concerning the
risks associated with investing in such securities, please refer to the Section
in the accompanying prospectus for the Funds entitled "Hartford High Yield HLS
Fund." Sub-advised by HIMCO.
HARTFORD INDEX HLS FUND -- Seeks to provide investment results that approximate
the price and yield performance of publicly traded common stocks in the
aggregate, as represented by the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price
Index.* Sub-advised by HIMCO.
HARTFORD INTERNATIONAL ADVISERS HLS FUND -- Seeks maximum long-term total return
by investing in a portfolio of equity, debt and money market securities.
Securities in which the Fund invests primarily will be denominated in non-U.S.
currencies and will be traded in non-U.S. markets. Sub-advised by Wellington
Management.
HARTFORD INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES HLS FUND -- Seeks growth of capital by
investing primarily in equity securities issued by non-U.S. companies.
Sub-advised by Wellington Management.
HARTFORD MIDCAP HLS FUND -- Seeks to achieve long-term capital growth through

with market capitalizations within the range represented by the Standard and
Poor's Mid-Cap 400 Index. Sub-advised by Wellington Management.
HARTFORD MORTGAGE SECURITIES HLS FUND -- Seeks maximum current income consistent
with safety of principal and maintenance of liquidity by investing primarily in
mortgage-related securities, including securities issued by the Government

equity securities. Sub-advised by Wellington Management.
HARTFORD MONEY MARKET HLS FUND -- Seeks maximum current income consistent with
liquidity and preservation of capital. Sub-advised by HIMCO.
MIXED AND SHARED FUNDING -- Shares of the Funds may be sold to our other
separate accounts and our insurance company affiliates or other unaffiliated
insurance companies to serve as the underlying investment for both variable
annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies, a practice known as
"mixed and shared funding." As a result, there is a possibility that a material
conflict may arise between the interests of Contract Owners, and of owners of
other contracts whose contract values are allocated to one or more of these
other separate accounts investing in any one of the Funds. In the event of any
such material conflicts, we will consider what action may be appropriate,
including removing the Fund from the Separate Account or replacing the Fund with
another underlying fund. There are certain risks associated with mixed and
shared funding, as disclosed in the Funds' prospectus.
VOTING RIGHTS -- We are the legal owners of all Fund shares held in the Separate
Account and we have the right to vote at the Fund's shareholder meetings. To the
extent required by federal securities laws or regulations, we will:
- - Notify you of any Fund shareholders' meeting if the shares held for your
Contract may be voted.
- - Send proxy materials and a form of instructions that you can use to tell us
how to vote the Fund shares held for your Contract.
- - Arrange for the handling and tallying of proxies received from Contract
Owners.
- - Vote all Fund shares attributable to your Contract according to instructions
received from you, and
- - Vote all Fund shares for which no voting instructions are received in the same
proportion as shares for which instructions have been received.
If any federal securities laws or regulations, or their present interpretation,
change to permit us to vote Fund shares on our own, we may decide to do so. You
may attend any Shareholder Meeting at which shares held for your Contract may be
voted. After we begin to make Annuity Payouts to you, the number of votes you
have will decrease.
SUBSTITUTIONS, ADDITIONS, OR DELETIONS OF FUNDS -- We reserve the right, subject
to any applicable law, to make certain changes to the Funds offered under Your
Contract. We may, in our sole discretion, establish new Funds. New Funds will be
made available to existing Contract Owners as we determine appropriate. We may
also close one or more Funds to additional Payments or transfers from existing
Sub-Accounts.
We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any of the Funds for any reason
and to substitute shares of another registered investment company for the shares
of any Fund already purchased or to be purchased in the future by the Separate
Account. To the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940
Act"), substitutions of shares attributable to your interest in a Fund will not
be made until we have the approval of the Commission and we have notified you of
the change.

In the event of any substitution or change, we may, by appropriate endorsement,
make any changes in the Contract necessary or appropriate to reflect the
substitution or change. If we decide that it is in the best interest of the
Contract Owners, the Separate Account may be operated as a management company
under the 1940 Act or any other form permitted by law, may be de-registered
under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer required, or may
be combined with one or more other Separate Accounts.
THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW: THIS PORTION OF THE PROSPECTUS RELATING
TO THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE IS NOT REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933 ("1933 ACT") AND THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE IS NOT REGISTERED AS AN
INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE 1940 ACT. THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE OR ANY OF
ITS INTERESTS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OR RESTRICTIONS OF THE 1933 ACT
OR THE 1940 ACT, AND THE STAFF OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION HAS NOT
REVIEWED THE DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE. THE FOLLOWING
DISCLOSURE ABOUT THE FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS REGARDING THE
ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF DISCLOSURE.
Premium Payments, Payment Enhancements and Contract Values allocated to the
Fixed Accumulation Feature become a part of our General Account assets. We
invest the assets of the General Account according to the laws governing the
investments of insurance company General Accounts.
Currently, we guarantee that we will credit interest at a rate of not less than
3% per year, compounded annually, to amounts you allocate to the Fixed
Accumulation Feature. We reserve the right to change the rate subject only to
applicable state insurance law. We may credit interest at a rate in excess of 3%
per year. We will periodically publish the Fixed Accumulation Feature interest
rates currently in effect. There is no specific formula for determining interest
rates. Some of the factors that we may consider in determining whether to credit
excess interest are; general economic trends, rates of return currently
available and anticipated on our investments, regulatory and tax requirements
and competitive factors. We will account for any deductions, Surrenders or
transfers from the Fixed Accumulation Feature on a "first-in first-out" basis.
IMPORTANT: ANY INTEREST CREDITED TO AMOUNTS YOU ALLOCATE TO THE FIXED
ACCUMULATION FEATURE IN EXCESS OF 3% PER YEAR WILL BE DETERMINED AT OUR SOLE
DISCRETION. YOU ASSUME THE RISK THAT INTEREST CREDITED TO THE FIXED ACCUMULATION
FEATURE MAY NOT EXCEED THE MINIMUM GUARANTEE OF 3% FOR ANY GIVEN YEAR.
From time to time, we may credit increased interest rates under certain programs
established in our sole discretion.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PLUS ("DCA PLUS") PROGRAMS -- Currently, you may enroll in
a special pre-authorized transfer program known as our DCA Plus Program (the
"Program"). Under this Program, Contract Owners who enroll may allocate a
minimum of $5,000 of their Premium Payment into the Program (we may allow a
lower minimum Premium Payment for qualified plan transfers or rollovers,
including IRAs) and pre-authorize transfers to any of the Sub-Accounts under
either the 6 Month Transfer Program or 12 Month Transfer Program. The 6-Month
Transfer Program and the 12-Month Transfer Program will generally have different
credited interest rates. Under the 6-Month Transfer Program, the interest rate
can accrue up to 6 months and all Premium Payments and accrued interest must be
transferred from the Program to the selected Sub-Accounts in 3 to 6 months.
Under the 12-Month Transfer Program, the interest rate can accrue up to 12
months and all Premium Payments and accrued interest must be transferred to the
selected Sub-Accounts in 7 to 12 months. This will be accomplished by monthly
transfers for the period selected and a final transfer of the entire amount
remaining in the Program.
The pre-authorized transfers will begin within 15 days of receipt of the Program
payment provided we receive complete enrollment instructions. If we do not
receive complete Program enrollment instructions within 15 days of receipt of
the initial Program payment, the Program will be voided and the entire balance
in the Program will be transferred to the Accounts designated by you. If you do
not designate an Account, you will receive the Fixed Accumulation Feature's
current effective interest rate. Any subsequent payments we receive within the
Program period selected will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts over the remainder
of that Program transfer period.
You may elect to terminate the pre-authorized transfers by calling or writing us
of your intent to cancel enrollment in the Program. Upon cancellation, you will
no longer receive the Program interest rate and unless we receive instructions
to the contrary, the amounts remaining in the Program may accrue the interest
rate currently in effect for the Fixed Accumulation Feature.
We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or amend the Program or any other
interest rate program we establish. Any change to the Program will not affect
Contract Owners currently enrolled in the Program. This Program may not be
available in all states; please contact us to determine if it is available in
your state.
You may only have one DCA program in place at one time.

THE CONTRACT
PURCHASES AND CONTRACT VALUE
WHAT TYPES OF CONTRACTS ARE AVAILABLE?
The Contract is an individual or group tax-deferred variable annuity contract.
It is 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 Code;
- - Annuity purchase plans adopted by public school systems and certain tax-exempt
organizations according to Section 403(b) of the Code;
- - Individual Retirement Annuities adopted according to Section 408 of the Code;
- - Employee pension plans established for employees by a state, a political
subdivision of a state, or an agency of either a state or a political
subdivision of a state, and
- - Certain eligible deferred compensation plans as defined in Section 457 of the
Code.
The examples above represent Qualified Contracts, as defined by the Code. In
addition, individuals and trusts can also purchase Contracts that are not part
of a tax qualified retirement plan. These are known as Non-Qualified Contracts.
HOW DO I PURCHASE A CONTRACT?
You may purchase a Contract by completing and submitting an application or an
order request along with an initial Premium Payment. For most Contracts, the
minimum Premium Payment is $10,000. For additional Premium Payments, the minimum
Premium Payment is $500. Under certain situations, we may allow smaller Premium
Payments, for example, if you enroll in our InvestEase-Registered Trademark-
Program or are part of certain tax qualified retirement plans. Prior approval is
required for Premium Payments of $1,000,000 or more.
You and your Annuitant must not be older than age 85 on the date that your
Contract is issued. You must be of legal age in the state where the Contract is
being purchased or a guardian must act on your behalf.
HOW ARE PREMIUM PAYMENTS APPLIED TO MY CONTRACT?
Your initial Premium Payment will be invested within two Valuation Days of our
receipt of a properly completed application or an order request and the Premium
Payment. If we receive your subsequent Premium Payment before the close of the
New York Stock Exchange, it will be priced on the same Valuation Day. If we
receive your Premium Payment after the close of the New York Stock Exchange, it
will be processed on the next Valuation Day. If we receive your Premium Payment
on a Non-Valuation Day, the amount will be invested on the next Valuation Day.
Unless we receive new instructions, we will invest the Premium Payment based on
your last allocation instructions. We will send you a confirmation when we
invest your Premium Payment.
If the request or other information accompanying the Premium Payment is
incomplete when received, we will hold the money in a non-interest bearing
account for up to five Valuation Days while we try to obtain complete
information. If we cannot obtain the information within five Valuation Days, we
will either return the Premium Payment and explain why the Premium Payment could
not be processed or keep the Premium Payment if you authorize us to keep it
until you provide the necessary information.
WHAT ARE PAYMENT ENHANCEMENTS?
Each time you make a Premium Payment to your Contract, Hartford will credit your
Contract Value with a Payment Enhancement. The Payment Enhancement is based on
your cumulative Premium Payments and is equal to:
x 3% of the Premium Payment if your cumulative Premium Payments are less than
$50,000
x 4% of the Premium Payment if your cumulative Premium Payments are $50,000 or
more
If you make a subsequent Premium Payment that increases your cumulative Premium
Payments to $50,000 or more, Hartford will credit an additional Payment
Enhancement to your Contract Value equal to 1% of your prior Premium Payments.
The Payment Enhancements will be allocated to the same Accounts and in the same
proportion as your Premium Payment.
DO I ALWAYS GET TO KEEP MY PAYMENT ENHANCEMENTS?
You won't always get to keep the Payment Enhancements credited to your Contract
Value. Hartford will take back or "recapture" some or all of the Payment
Enhancements under certain circumstances:
- - Hartford will take back the Payment Enhancements we credit to your Contract
Value if you cancel your Contract during the "Right to Examine" period
described in your Contract.
- - Hartford will deduct any Payment Enhancements credited to your Contract Value
in the 24 months prior to the Annuity Calculation Date when we determine the
amount available for Annuity Payouts.
- - Hartford will also exclude any Payment Enhancements credited to your Contract
Value in the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the Death Benefit when
determining the Death Benefit payable.
- - Hartford will deduct all Payment Enhancements credited during a period of
eligible confinement to a hospital, nursing home or other qualified long-term
care facility under the Waiver of Sales Charge Rider if you request a full or
partial Surrender.
DO PAYMENT ENHANCEMENTS ALWAYS BENEFIT ME?
Not all of the time. Hartford issues a variety of variable annuities designed to
meet different retirement planning goals. Some of our variable annuities have no
Payment Enhancement, some have
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
lower mortality and expense risk charges and still others have no Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge. You may be better off in certain circumstances with one
of our other variable annuities. You and your financial adviser should consider
some of the following factors when determining which annuity is appropriate for
you:
- - The length of time that you plan to continue to own your Contract.
- - The frequency, amount and timing of any partial Surrenders.
- - The amount of your Premium Payments.
- - When you plan to annuitize your Contract.
- - Whether you might experience an event which results in the loss of some or all
of the Payment Enhancements.
CAN I CANCEL MY CONTRACT AFTER I PURCHASE IT?
We want you to be satisfied with the Contract you have purchased. We urge you to
closely examine its provisions. If for any reason you are not satisfied with
your Contract, simply return it within ten days after you receive it with a
written request for cancellation that indicates your tax-withholding
instructions. In some states, you may be allowed more time to cancel your
Contract. We will not deduct any Contingent Deferred Sales Charges during this
time. We may require additional information, including a signature guarantee,
before we can cancel your Contract.
You bear the investment risk from the time the Contract is issued until we
receive your complete cancellation request.
The amount we pay you upon cancellation depends on the requirements of the state
where you purchased your Contract, the method of purchase, the type of Contract
you purchased and your age. Hartford will not pay you the Payment Enhancements
credited to your Contract Value if you elect to cancel your Contract.
HOW IS THE VALUE OF MY CONTRACT CALCULATED BEFORE THE ANNUITY CALCULATION DATE?
The Contract Value is the sum of all Accounts. There are two things that affect
your Sub-Account value: (1) the number of Accumulation Units and (2) the
Accumulation Unit Value. The Sub-Account value is determined by multiplying the
number of Accumulation Units by the Accumulation Unit Value. Therefore, on any
Valuation Day your Contract Value reflects the investment performance of the
Sub-Accounts and will fluctuate with the performance of the underlying Funds.
When Premium Payments and Payment Enhancements are credited to your
Sub-Accounts, they are converted into Accumulation Units by dividing the sum of
your Premium Payments and Payment Enhancements, minus any Premium Taxes, by the
Accumulation Unit Value for that day. The more Premium Payments you put into
your Contract, the more Accumulation Units you will own. You decrease the number
of Accumulation Units you have by requesting Surrenders, transferring money out
of a Sub-Account, settling a Death Benefit claim or by annuitizing your
Contract.
To determine the current Accumulation Unit Value, we take the prior Valuation
Day's Accumulation Unit Value and multiply it by the Net Investment Factor for
the current Valuation Day.
The Net Investment Factor is used to measure the investment performance of a
Sub-Account from one Valuation Day to the next. The Net Investment Factor for
each Sub-Account equals:
- - The net asset value per share of each Fund held in the Sub-Account at the end
of the current Valuation Day divided by
- - The net asset value per share of each Fund held in the Sub-Account at the end
of the prior Valuation Day; minus
- - The daily mortality and expense risk charge and any other applicable charges,
including administrative charges or the Optional Death Benefit Charge,
adjusted for the number of days in the period. The daily mortality and expense
risk charge and any other applicable charges, including administrative charges
or the Optional Death Benefit Charge, adjusted for the number of days in the
period.
We will send you a statement in each calendar quarter, which tells you how many
Accumulation Units you have, their value and your total Contract Value.
CAN I TRANSFER FROM ONE SUB-ACCOUNT TO ANOTHER?
TRANSFERS BETWEEN SUB-ACCOUNTS -- You may transfer from one Sub-Account to
another before and after the Annuity Commencement Date at no extra charge. Your
transfer request will be processed on the day that it is received as long as it
is received on a Valuation Day before the close of the New York Stock Exchange.
Otherwise, your request will be processed on the following Valuation Day. We
will send you a confirmation when we process your transfer. You are responsible
for verifying transfer confirmations and promptly advising us of any errors
within 30 days of receiving the confirmation.
SUB-ACCOUNT TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS -- We reserve the right to limit the number of
transfers to 12 per Contract Year, with no transfers occurring on consecutive
Valuation Days. We also have the right to restrict transfers if we believe that
the transfers could have an adverse effect on other Contract Owners. In all
states except Florida, Maryland and Oregon, we may:
- - Require a minimum time period between each transfer,
- - Limit the dollar amount that may be transferred on any one Valuation Day, and
- - Not accept transfer requests from an agent acting under a power of attorney
for more than one Contract Owner.
We also have a restriction in place that involves individuals who act under a
power of attorney for multiple Contract Owners. If the value of the Contract
Owners' Accounts add up to more than $2 million, we will not accept transfer
instructions from the power of attorney unless the power of attorney has entered
into a Third Party Transfer Services Agreement with us.
Some states may have different restrictions.

HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 17
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE TRANSFERS -- During each Contract Year, you may make
transfers out of the Fixed Accumulation Feature to Sub-Accounts. All transfer
allocations must be in whole numbers (e.g., 1%). You may transfer either:
- - 30% of your total amount in the Fixed Accumulation Feature, or
- - An amount equal to the largest previous transfer.
These transfer limits do not include transfers done through Dollar Cost
Averaging or the DCA Plus Program.
If your interest rate renews at a rate at least 1% lower than your prior
interest rate, you may transfer an amount equal to up to 100% of the amount to
be invested at the renewal rate. You must make this transfer request within 60
days of being notified of the renewal rate.
FIXED ACCUMULATION FEATURE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS -- We reserve the right to
defer transfers from the Fixed Accumulation Feature for up to 6 months from the
date of your request. After any transfer, you must wait six months before moving
Sub-Account Values back to the Fixed Accumulation Feature.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS -- In most states, you can make transfers by calling us at
(800) 862-6668. Hartford, our agents or our affiliates are not responsible for
losses resulting from telephone requests that we believe are genuine. We will
use reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine,
including requiring that callers provide certain identification information and
recording all telephone transfer instructions. We reserve the right to suspend,
modify, or terminate telephone transfer privileges at any time.
POWER OF ATTORNEY -- You may authorize another person to make transfers on your
behalf by submitting a completed Power of Attorney form. Once we have the
completed form on file, we will accept transfer instructions, subject to our
transfer restrictions, from your designated third party until we receive new
instructions in writing from you. You will not be able to make transfers or
other changes to your Contract if you have authorized someone else to act under
a Power of Attorney.
CHARGES AND FEES
There are 5 charges and fees associated with the Contract; and the Optional
Death Benefit Charge:
1. THE CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge covers some of the expenses relating to the
sale and distribution of the Contract, including commissions paid to registered
representatives and the cost of preparing sales literature and other promotional
activities.
We assess a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge when you request a full or partial
Surrender. The percentage of the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge is based on
how long your Premium Payments have been in the Contract. The Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge will not exceed the total amount of the Premium Payments
made. Each Premium Payment has its own Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
schedule. Premium Payments are Surrendered in the order in which they were
received. The longer you leave your Premium Payments in the Contract, the lower
the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will be when you Surrender.
The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge is a percentage of the amount Surrendered
and is equal to:
<TABLE>

- -----------------------------------------
</TABLE>
THE FOLLOWING SURRENDERS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO A CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE:
- - ANNUAL WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT: During the first seven Contract Years, you may,
each Contract Year, take partial Surrenders up to 10% of the total Premium
Payments. If you do not take 10% one year, you may not take more than 10% the
next year. These amounts are different for Contracts issued to a Charitable
Remainder Trust.
- - SURRENDERS MADE FROM PREMIUM PAYMENTS AFTER THE SEVENTH CONTRACT YEAR: After
the seventh Contract Year, you may take the total of: (a) all of your
earnings, (b) all Premium Payments held in your Contract for more than seven
years, (c) Payment Enhancements credited for more than seven years,
(d) Premium Payments made during the last seven years, and (e) Payment
Enhancements credited during the last seven years.
UNDER THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS, THE CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE IS WAIVED:
- - Upon eligible confinement as described in the Waiver of Sales Charge Rider. We
will waive any Contingent Deferred Sales Charge applicable to a partial or
full Surrender if you, the joint owner or the Annuitant, is confined for at
least 180 consecutive calendar days to a: (a) facility recognized as a general
hospital by the proper authority of the state in which it is located; or
(b) facility recognized as a general hospital by the Joint Commission on the
Accreditation of Hospitals; or (c) facility certified by Medicare as a
hospital or long-term care facility; or (d) nursing home licensed by the state
in which it is located and offers the services of a registered nurse 24 hours
a day. If you, the joint owner or the Annuitant is confined when you purchase
the Contract, this waiver is not available. For it to apply, you must:
(a) have owned the Contract continuously since it was issued, (b) provide
written proof of confinement satisfactory to us, and (c) request the Surrender
within 91 calendar days of the last day of confinement. This waiver may not be
available in all states. Please contact your Registered

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Representative or us to determine if it is available for you. ONCE YOU ELECT
THIS WAIVER, HARTFORD WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY SUBSEQUENT PREMIUM PAYMENTS. IN
ADDITION, IF YOU REQUEST A FULL OR PARTIAL SURRENDER DURING CONFINEMENT, WE
WILL DEDUCT FROM YOUR CONTRACT VALUE ANY PAYMENT ENHANCEMENTS CREDITED DURING
THE TIME YOU WERE CONFINED.
- - For Required Minimum Distributions. This allows Annuitants who are age 70 1/2
or older, with a Contract held under an Individual Retirement Account or
403(b) plan, to Surrender an amount equal to the Required Minimum Distribution
for the Contract without a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. All requests for
Required Minimum Distributions must be in writing.
THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO A CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE:
- - Upon death of the Annuitant or Contract Owner. No Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge will be deducted if the Annuitant or Contract Owner dies, unless the
Contract Owner is not a natural person (e.g. a trust).
- - Upon the commencement of Annuity Payouts. The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
is not deducted when we begin to make Annuity Payouts. We will charge a
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge if the Contract is fully or partially
Surrendered during the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge period under an
Annuity Payout Option which allows Surrenders.
- - Upon cancellation during the Right to Cancel Period.
2. MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
For assuming mortality and expense risks under the Contract, we deduct a daily
charge at an annual rate of 1.45% of Sub-Account Value (estimated at .XX% for
mortality and .XX% for expenses). The mortality and expense risk charge is
broken into charges for mortality risks and for an expense risk:
- - MORTALITY RISK -- There are two types of mortality risks that we assume, those
made while your Premium Payments are accumulating and those made once Annuity
Payouts have begun.
During the period your Premium Payments are accumulating, we are required to
cover any difference between the Death Benefit paid and the Surrender Value.
These differences may occur during periods of declining value or in periods
where the Contingent Deferred Sales Charges would have been applicable. The
risk that we bear during this period is that actual mortality rates, in
aggregate, may exceed expected mortality rates.
Once Annuity Payouts have begun, we may be required to make Annuity Payouts as
long as the Annuitant is living, regardless of how long the Annuitant lives.
We would be required to make these payments if the Payout Option chosen is the
Life Annuity, Life Annuity With Payments for a Period Certain or Joint and
Last Survivor Life Annuity Payout Option. The risk that we bear during this
period is that the actual mortality rates, in aggregate, may be lower than the
expected mortality rates.
- - EXPENSE RISK -- We also bear an expense risk that the Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges and the Annual Maintenance Fee collected before the Annuity
Commencement Date may not be enough to cover the actual cost of selling,
distributing and administering the Contract.
Although variable Annuity Payouts will fluctuate with the performance of the
underlying Fund selected, your Annuity Payouts will NOT be affected by (a) the
actual mortality experience of our Annuitants, or (b) our actual expenses if
they are greater than the deductions stated in the Contract. Because we cannot
be certain how long our Annuitants will live, we charge this percentage fee
based on the mortality tables currently in use. The mortality and expense risk
charge enables us to keep our commitments and to pay you as planned.
3. ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE
The Annual Maintenance Fee is a flat fee that is deducted from your Contract
Value to reimburse us for expenses relating to the administrative maintenance of
the Contract and the Accounts. The annual $30 charge is deducted on a Contract
Anniversary or when the Contract is fully Surrendered if the Contract Value at
either of those times is less than $50,000. The charge is deducted
proportionately from each Account in which you are invested.
WHEN IS THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE WAIVED?
We will waive the Annual Maintenance Fee if your Contract Value is $50,000 or
more on your Contract Anniversary or when you fully Surrender your Contract. In
addition, we will waive one Annual Maintenance Fee for Contract Owners who own
more than one Contract with a combined Contract Value between $50,000 and
$100,000. If you have multiple Contracts with a combined Contract Value of
$100,000 or greater, we will waive the Annual Maintenance Fee on all Contracts.
However, we reserve the right to limit the number of waivers to a total of six
Contracts. We also reserve the right to waive the Annual Maintenance Fee under
certain other conditions.
4. PREMIUM TAXES
We deduct Premium Taxes, if required, by a state or other government agency.
Some states collect the taxes when Premium Payments are made; others collect
when Annuity Payouts begin. Since we pay Premium Taxes when they are required by
applicable law, we may deduct them from your Contract when we pay the taxes,
upon Surrender, or on the Annuity Calculation Date. The Premium Tax rate varies
by state or municipality. Currently, the maximum rate charged by any state is
3.5% and 4% in Puerto Rico.
5. CHARGES AGAINST THE FUNDS
The Separate Account purchases shares of the Funds at net asset value. The net
asset value of the Fund reflects investment advisory fees and administrative
expenses already deducted from the
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 19
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
assets of the Funds. These charges are described in the Funds' prospectuses
accompanying this Prospectus.
OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT CHARGE -- If you elect the Optional Death Benefit, we
will subtract an additional charge on a daily basis until we begin to make
Annuity Payouts that is equal to an annual charge of .15% of your Contract Value
invested in the Funds.
WE MAY OFFER, IN OUR DISCRETION, REDUCED FEES AND CHARGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES, THE MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK
CHARGE, ANY APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES, THE OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT CHARGE
AND THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE, FOR CERTAIN CONTRACTS (INCLUDING EMPLOYER
SPONSORED SAVINGS PLANS) WHICH MAY RESULT IN DECREASED COSTS AND EXPENSES.
REDUCTIONS IN THESE FEES AND CHARGES WILL NOT BE UNFAIRLY DISCRIMINATORY AGAINST
ANY CONTRACT OWNER.
DEATH BENEFIT
WHAT IS THE DEATH BENEFIT AND HOW IS IT CALCULATED?
The Death Benefit is the amount we will pay upon the death of the Contract Owner
or the Annuitant. The Death Benefit is calculated when we receive a certified
death certificate or other legal document acceptable to us.
The calculated Death Benefit will remain invested in the same Accounts,
according to the Contract Owner's last instructions until we receive complete
written settlement instructions from the Beneficiary. Therefore, the Death
Benefit amount will fluctuate with the performance of the underlying Funds. When
there is more than one Beneficiary, we will calculate the Accumulation Units for
each Sub-account and the dollar amount for the Fixed Accumulation Feature for
each Beneficiary's portion of the proceeds.
If death occurs before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Death Benefit is the
greatest of:
- - The total Premium Payments you have made to us minus the dollar amount of any
partial Surrenders;
- - The Contract Value of your Annuity minus any Payment Enhancements credited in
the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the Death Benefit; or
- - The Maximum Anniversary Value, which is described below, minus any Payment
Enhancements credited in the 12 months prior to the date we calculate the
Death Benefit.
The Maximum Anniversary Value is based on a series of calculations on Contract
Anniversaries of Contract Values, Premium Payments and partial Surrenders. We
will calculate an Anniversary Value for each Contract Anniversary prior to the
deceased's 81st birthday or date of death, whichever is earlier. The Anniversary
Value is equal to the Contract Value as of 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.
The Maximum Anniversary Value is equal to the greatest Anniversary Value
attained from this series of calculations.
The Maximum Anniversary Value is only calculated until the earlier of the
Contract Owner or Annuitant's 81st birthday or death.
You may also elect the Optional Death Benefit for an additional fee. The
Optional Death Benefit adds the Interest Accumulation Value to the Death Benefit
calculation.
If you elect the Optional Death Benefit, the Death Benefit prior to the
deceased's date of death or the deceased's 81st birthday, whichever is earlier,
will be the greater of:
- - The total Premium Payments you have made to us minus the dollar amount of any
partial Surrenders; or
- - The Contract Value of your Annuity minus any Payment Enhancements credited in
the 12 months prior to the date we calculated the Death Benefit; or
- - The Maximum Anniversary Value, minus any Payment Enhancements credited in the
12 months prior to the date we calculate the Death Benefit.
- - The Interest Accumulation Value.
The Interest Accumulation Value prior to the deceased's date of death or 81st
birthday, whichever is earlier is equal to:
- - Your Contract Value of your Annuity minus any Payment Enhancements credited in
the 12 months prior to the date we calculated the Death Benefit;
- - Plus any Premium Payments made;
- - Minus any partial Surrenders;
- - Compounded daily at an annual rate of 5%.
If you have taken any partial Surrenders, the Interest Accumulation Value will
be adjusted to reduce the Optional Death Benefit proportionally for any partial
Surrenders.
On or after the deceased's 81st birthday or date of death, the Interest
Accumulation Value will not continue to compound, but will be adjusted to add
any Premium Payments and Payment Enhancements or subtract any partial
Surrenders.
The Optional Death Benefit is limited to a maximum of 200% of any Premium
Payments made less proportional adjustments for any Surrenders.
If you elect the Optional Death Benefit, we will subtract an additional charge
on a daily basis until we begin to make Annuity Payouts that is equal to an
annual charge of .15% of your Contract Value invested in the Funds. The Optional
Death Benefit Rider may not be available if the Contract Owner or Annuitant is
age 75 or older. The Optional Death Benefit Rider is not available in the state
of Washington.
<PAGE>
20 HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you choose to elect the Optional Death Benefit at any time other than with
your initial Premium Payment your Optional Death Benefit calculation will be:
- - Your Contract Value on the date we add the Optional Death Benefit to your
Annuity;
- - Minus any Payment Enhancements credited on or before we add the Optional Death
Benefit;
- - Plus any Payment Enhancements made after the Optional Death Benefit is added;
- - Minus any partial surrenders after the Optional Death Benefit is added;
- - Compounded daily at an annual interest rate of 5%.
HOW IS THE DEATH BENEFIT PAID?
The Death Benefit may be taken in one lump sum or under any of the Annuity
Payout Options then being offered by us. On the date we receive complete
instructions from the Beneficiary, we will compute the Death Benefit amount to
be paid out or applied to a selected Annuity Payout Option. When there is more
than one Beneficiary, we will calculate the Death Benefit amount for each
Beneficiary's portion of the proceeds and then pay it out or apply it to a
selected Annuity Payout Option according to each Beneficiary's instructions. If
we receive the complete instructions on a Non-Valuation Day, computations will
take place on the next Valuation Day.
The Beneficiary may elect under the Annuity Proceeds Settlement Option "Death
Benefit Remaining with the Company" to leave proceeds from the Death Benefit
with us for up to five years from the date of the death if the death occurred
before the Annuity Commencement Date. Once we receive a certified death
certificate or other legal documents acceptable to us, the Beneficiary can: (a)
make Sub-Account transfers and (b) take Surrenders without paying Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges.
REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS -- If the Contract Owner dies before the Annuity
Commencement Date, the Death Benefit must be distributed within five years after
death. The Beneficiary can choose any Annuity Payout Option that results in
complete Annuity Payout within five years.
If the Contract Owner dies on or after the Annuity Commencement Date under an
Annuity Payout Option with a Death Benefit, any remaining value must be
distributed at least as rapidly as under the payment method being used as of the
Contract Owner's death.
If the Contract Owner is not an individual (e.g. a trust), then the original
Annuitant will be treated as the Contract Owner in the situations described
above and any change in the original Annuitant will be treated as the death of
the Contract Owner.
WHO WILL RECEIVE THE DEATH BENEFIT?
The distribution of the Death Benefit is based on whether death is before, on or
after the Annuity Commencement Date.

THESE ARE THE MOST COMMON DEATH BENEFIT SCENARIOS, HOWEVER, THERE ARE OTHERS.
SOME OF THE ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS MAY NOT RESULT IN A DEATH BENEFIT PAYOUT. IF
YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE AND ANY OTHER SCENARIOS, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR
REGISTERED REPRESENTATIVE OR US.
WHAT SHOULD THE BENEFICIARY CONSIDER?
ALTERNATIVES TO THE REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS -- The selection of an Annuity Payout
Option and the timing of the selection will have an impact on the tax treatment
of the Death Benefit. To receive favorable tax treatment, the Annuity Payout
Option selected: (a) cannot extend beyond the Beneficiary's life or life
expectancy, and (b) must begin within one year of the date of death.
If these conditions are NOT met, the Death Benefit will be treated as a lump sum
payment for tax purposes. This sum will be taxable in the year in which it is
considered received.
SPOUSAL CONTRACT CONTINUATION -- If the Beneficiary is the Contract Owner's
spouse, the Beneficiary may elect to continue the Contract as the contract
owner, receive the death benefit in one lump sum payment or elect an Annuity
Payout Option. If the beneficiary elects to continue the Contract, we will
adjust the Contract Value to equal the amount that we would have paid as the
Death Benefit. This spousal continuation is available only once for each
Contract.
SURRENDERS
WHAT KINDS OF SURRENDERS ARE AVAILABLE?
FULL SURRENDERS BEFORE THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE -- When you Surrender your
Contract before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Surrender Value of the
Contract will be paid in a lump sum. The Surrender Value is the Contract Value
minus any applicable Premium Taxes, Contingent Deferred Sales Charges and the
Annual Maintenance Fee. The Surrender Value may be more or less than the amount
of the Premium Payments made to a Contract.
PARTIAL SURRENDERS BEFORE THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE -- You may request a
partial Surrender of Contract Values at any time before the Annuity Commencement
Date. A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge may be deducted. There are two
restrictions:
- - The partial Surrender amount must be at least equal to $100, our current
minimum for partial Surrenders, and
- - The Contract must have a minimum Contract Value of $500 after the Surrender.
We reserve the right to close your Contract and pay the full Surrender Value
if the Contract Value is under the minimum after the Surrender. If your
Contract was issued in Texas, a remaining value of $500 is not required to
continue the Contract if Premium Payments were made in the last two Contract
Years.
FULL SURRENDERS AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE -- You may Surrender your
Contract on or after the Annuity Commencement Date only if you selected the
Payment For a Period Certain Annuity Payout Option. Under this option, we pay
you the Commuted Value of your Contract minus any applicable Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges. The Commuted Value is determined on the day we receive your
written request for Surrender.
PARTIAL SURRENDERS AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE -- Partial Surrenders are
permitted after the Annuity Commencement Date if you elect the Life Annuity With
Payments for a Period Certain, Joint and Last Survivor Life Annuity With
Payments for a Period Certain, or Payment for a Period Certain Annuity Payout
Options, but check with your tax advisor because there could be adverse tax
consequences.
HOW DO I REQUEST A SURRENDER?
Requests for full Surrenders must be in writing. Requests for partial Surrenders
can be made in writing or by telephone. We will send your money within seven
days of receiving complete instructions. However, we may postpone payment of
Surrenders whenever: (a) the New York Stock Exchange is closed, (b) trading on
the New York Stock Exchange is restricted by the SEC, (b) the SEC permits and
orders postponement or (c) the SEC determines that an emergency exists to
restrict valuation.
WRITTEN REQUESTS -- To request a full or partial Surrender, complete a Surrender
Form or send us a letter, signed by you, stating:
- - the dollar amount that you want to receive, either before or after we withhold
taxes and deduct for any applicable charges,
- - your tax withholding amount or percentage, if any, and
- - your mailing address.
<PAGE>
22 HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If there are joint Contract Owners, both must authorize all Surrenders. For a
partial Surrender, specify the Accounts that you want your Surrender to come
from, otherwise, the Surrender will be taken in proportion to the value in each
Account.
TELEPHONE REQUESTS -- To request a partial Surrender by telephone, we must have
received your completed Telephone Redemption Program Enrollment Form. If there
are joint Contract Owners, both must sign this form. By signing the form, you
authorize us to accept telephone instructions for partial Surrenders from either
Contract Owner. Telephone authorization will remain in effect until we receive a
written cancellation notice from you or your joint Contract Owner, we
discontinue the program; or you are no longer the owner of the Contract. There
are some restrictions on telephone surrenders. Please call us with any
questions.
We may record telephone calls and use other procedures to verify information and
confirm that instructions are genuine. We will not be liable for losses or
expenses arising from telephone instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
WE MAY MODIFY THE REQUIREMENTS FOR TELEPHONE REDEMPTIONS AT ANY TIME.
Telephone Surrender instructions received before the close of the New York Stock
Exchange will be processed on that Valuation Day. Otherwise, your request will
be processed on the next Valuation Day.
COMPLETING A POWER OF ATTORNEY FORM FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO ACT ON YOUR BEHALF MAY
PREVENT YOU FROM MAKING SURRENDERS VIA TELEPHONE.
WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ABOUT TAXES?
There are certain tax consequences associated with Surrenders:
PRIOR TO AGE 59 1/2 -- If you make a Surrender prior to age 59 1/2, there may be
adverse tax consequences including a 10% federal income tax penalty on the
taxable portion of the Surrender payment. Surrendering before age 59 1/2 may
also affect the continuing tax-qualified status of some Contracts.
WE DO NOT MONITOR SURRENDER REQUESTS. TO DETERMINE WHETHER A SURRENDER IS
PERMISSIBLE, WITH OR WITHOUT FEDERAL INCOME TAX PENALTY, PLEASE CONSULT YOUR
PERSONAL TAX ADVISER.
MORE THAN ONE CONTRACT ISSUED IN THE SAME CALENDAR YEAR:
If you own more than one contract issued by us or our affiliates in the same
calendar year, then these contracts may be treated as one contract for the
purpose of determining the taxation of distributions prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date. Please consult your tax adviser for additional information.
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 403(B) ANNUITIES -- As of December 31, 1988, all
section 403(b) annuities have limits on full and partial Surrenders.
Contributions to your Contract made after December 31, 1988 and any increases in
cash value after December 31, 1988 may not be distributed unless you are:
(a) age 59 1/2, (b) no longer employed, (c) deceased, (d) disabled, or
(e) experiencing a financial hardship (cash value increases may not be
distributed for hardships prior to age 59 1/2). Distributions prior to age
59 1/2 due to financial hardship; unemployment or retirement may still be
subject to a federal income tax penalty of 10%.
WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISER BEFORE MAKING ANY SURRENDERS.

ANNUITY PAYOUTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS SECTION DESCRIBES WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE BEGIN TO MAKE REGULAR ANNUITY
PAYOUTS FROM YOUR CONTRACT. YOU, AS THE CONTRACT OWNER, SHOULD ANSWER FIVE
QUESTIONS:
1. When do you want Annuity Payouts to begin?
2. What Annuity Payout Option do you want to use?
3. How often do you want to receive Annuity Payouts?
4. What is the Assumed Investment Return?
5. Do you want fixed dollar amount or variable dollar amount Annuity Payouts?
Please check with your financial advisor to select the Annuity Payout Option
that best meets your income needs.
1. WHEN DO YOU WANT ANNUITY PAYOUTS TO BEGIN?
You select an Annuity Commencement Date when you purchase your Contract or at
any time before you begin receiving Annuity Payouts. You may change the Annuity
Commencement Date by notifying us within thirty days prior to the date. The
Annuity Commencement Date cannot be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 90th
birthday or the end of the 10th Contract Year, whichever is later. You may elect
a later Annuity Commencement Date if we allow and subject to the laws and
regulations then in effect. If this Contract is issued to the trustee of a
Charitable Remainder Trust, the Annuity Commencement Date may be deferred to the
Annuitant's 100th birthday.
The Annuity Calculation Date is when the amount of your Annuity Payout is
determined. This occurs within five Valuation Days before your selected Annuity
Commencement Date. We will deduct any Payment Enhancements credited in the 24
months before the Annuity Calculation Date from your Contract Value when we
determine the amount available for Annuity Payouts.
All Annuity Payouts, regardless of frequency, will occur on the same day of the
month as the Annuity Commencement Date. After the initial payout, if an Annuity
Payout date falls on a Non-Valuation Day, the Annuity Payout is computed on the
prior Valuation Day. If the Annuity Payout date does not occur in a given month
due to a leap year or months with more than 28
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 23
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
days (i.e. the 31st), the Annuity Payout will be computed on the last Valuation
Day of the month.
2. WHICH ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTION DO YOU WANT TO USE?
Your Contract contains the Annuity Payout Options described below. The Annuity
Proceeds Settlement Option "Death Benefit Remaining with the Company" is an
option that can be elected by the Beneficiary after the death of the Contract
Owner and is described in the "Death Benefit" section. We may at times offer
other Annuity Payout Options.
OPTION 1 -- LIFE ANNUITY -- We make Annuity Payouts as long as the Annuitant is
living. When the Annuitant dies, we stop making Annuity Payouts. A Payee would
receive only one Annuity Payout if the Annuitant dies after the first payout,
two Annuity Payouts if the Annuitant dies after the second payout, and so forth.
OPTION 2 -- LIFE ANNUITY WITH A CASH REFUND -- We will make Annuity Payouts as
long as the Annuitant is living. When the Annuitant dies the remaining value
will be paid to the Beneficiary. The remaining value is equal to the Contract
Value on the Annuity Calculation Date minus any Premium Tax and the Annuity
Payouts already made. This option is only available for Variable Dollar Amount
Annuity Payouts using the 5% Assumed Investment Return.
OPTION 3 -- LIFE ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN -- We make monthly
Annuity Payouts during the lifetime of the Annuitant but Annuity Payouts are at
least guaranteed for the number of years you select with a minimum of 10 years.
If, at the death of the Annuitant, Annuity Payouts have been made for less than
the minimum elected number of months, then the Beneficiary may elect to continue
the remaining Annuity Payouts or receive the present value of the amount of the
remaining Annuity Payouts.
This option allows you to take partial Surrenders of amounts equal to the
Commuted Value of the payments we would have made during the "Period Certain"
(the minimum number of months you elected) but only if you elected a variable
dollar amount annuity payout and make the request during the Period Certain.
Hartford will deduct any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. If you
elect to take the entire Commuted Value of the payments 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 payments we would have made during the Period Certain, Hartford will
reduce the remaining Annuity Payouts during the remaining Period Certain.
Annuity Payouts that occur after the remaining Period Certain will not change.
OPTION 4 -- JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY -- We will make Annuity Payouts
as long as the Annuitant and Joint Annuitant are living. When one Annuitant
dies, we continue to make Annuity Payouts to the other Annuitant until that
second Annuitant dies. When choosing this option, you must decide what will
happen to the Annuity Payouts; either fixed or variable, after the first
Annuitant dies. You must select Annuity Payouts that:
- - Remain the same at 100%, or
- - Decrease to 66.67%, or
- - Decrease to 50%.
For variable Annuity Payouts, these percentages represent Annuity Units; for
fixed Annuity Payouts, they represent actual dollar amounts. The percentage will
also impact the Annuity Payout amount we pay while both Annuitants are living.
If you pick a lower percentage, your original Annuity Payouts will be higher
while both Annuitants are alive.
OPTION 5 -- JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD
CERTAIN -- We will make Annuity Payouts as long as either the Annuitant or Joint
Annuitant are living, but we at least guarantee to make Annuity Payouts for a
time period you select, between 10 years and 100 years minus the Annuitant's
age. If the Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant both die before the guaranteed
number of years have passed, then the Beneficiary has two options, (a) continue
Annuity Payouts for the remainder of the guaranteed number of years or
(b) receive the Commuted Value in one sum.
When choosing this option, you must decide what will happen to the Annuity
Payouts after the first Annuitant dies. You must select Annuity Payouts that:
- - Remain the same at 100%, or
- - Decrease to 66.67%, or
- - Decrease to 50%.
For variable dollar amount Annuity Payouts, these percentages represent Annuity
Units. For fixed-dollar amount Annuity Payouts, these percentages represent
actual dollar amounts. The percentage will also impact the Annuity Payout amount
we pay while both Annuitants are living. If you pick a lower percentage, your
original Annuity Payouts will be higher while both Annuitants are alive.
This option allows you to take partial Surrenders of amounts equal to the
Commuted Value of the payments we would have made during the "Period Certain"
(the minimum number of months you elected) but only if you elected a variable
dollar amount annuity payout and make the request during the Period Certain.
Hartford will deduct any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. If you
elect to take the entire Commuted Value of the payments 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 payments we would have made during the Period Certain, Hartford will
reduce the remaining Annuity Payouts during the remaining Period Certain.
Annuity Payouts that occur after the remaining Period Certain will not change.
OPTION 6 -- PAYMENT FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN -- We will make Annuity Payouts for the
number of years that you select. You can select any number of years between 10
years and 100 years minus the Annuitant's age. If, at the death of the
Annuitant, Annuity Payouts have been made for less than the time period
<PAGE>
24 HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
selected, then the Beneficiary may elect to continue the remaining Annuity
Payouts or receive the commuted value in one sum.
This option allows full or partial Surrenders but only if you elected the
Variable Dollar Amount Annuity Payout. We will pay the Commuted Value minus any
applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. If you elect a full Surrender,
Hartford will not make any Annuity Payouts during the remaining guaranteed
period. If you elect a partial Surrender, Hartford will reduce the amount of the
Annuity Payouts during the remaining guaranteed period.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
- - YOU CANNOT SURRENDER YOUR CONTRACT ONCE ANNUITY PAYOUTS BEGIN, UNLESS YOU HAVE
SELECTED THE LIFE ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN, JOINT AND LAST
SURVIVOR LIFE ANNUITY WITH PAYMENTS FOR A PERIOD CERTAIN OR PAYMENT FOR A
PERIOD CERTAIN ANNUITY PAYOUT OPTIONS. A CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE MAY
BE DEDUCTED.
- - For Non-Qualified Contracts, if you do not elect an Annuity Payout Option,
fixed Annuity Payouts will automatically begin on the Annuity Commencement
Date under the Life Annuity with Payments for a 10 Year Period Certain.
- - For Qualified Contracts and Contracts issued in Texas, if you do not elect an
Annuity Payout Option, fixed Annuity Payouts will begin automatically on the
Annuity Commencement Date, under the Annuity Payout Option 1 -- Life Annuity.
3. HOW OFTEN DO YOU WANT THE PAYEE TO RECEIVE ANNUITY PAYOUTS?
In addition to selecting an Annuity Commencement Date and an Annuity Payout
Option, you must also decide how often you want the Payee to receive Annuity
Payouts. You may choose to receive Annuity Payouts:
- - monthly,
- - quarterly,
- - semi-annually, or
- - annually.
Once you select a frequency, it cannot be changed. If you do not make a
selection, the Payee will receive monthly Annuity Payouts. You must select a
frequency that results in an Annuity Payout of at least $50. If the amount falls
below $50, we have the right to change the frequency to bring the Annuity Payout
up to at least $50.
4. WHAT IS THE ASSUMED INVESTMENT RETURN?
The Assumed Investment Return ("AIR") is the investment return you select before
we start to make Annuity Payouts. It is a critical assumption for calculating
variable dollar amount Annuity Payouts. The first Annuity Payout will be based
upon the AIR. The remaining Annuity Payouts will fluctuate based on the
performance of the underlying Funds.
Subject to the approval of your State, you can select one of three AIRs: 3%, 5%
or 6%. The greater the AIR, the greater the initial Annuity Payout. A higher AIR
may result in smaller potential growth in the Annuity Payouts. On the other
hand, a lower AIR results in a lower initial Annuity Payout, but future Annuity
Payouts have the potential to be greater.
For example, if the second monthly Annuity Payout is the same as the first, the
sub-accounts earned exactly the same return as the AIR. If the second monthly
Annuity Payout is more than the first, the sub-accounts earned more than the
AIR. If the second Annuity Payout is less than the first, the sub-account earned
less than the AIR.
Level variable dollar amount Annuity Payouts would be produced if the investment
returns remained constant and equal to the AIR. In fact, Annuity Payouts will
vary up or down as the investment rate varies up or down from the AIR.
5. DO YOU WANT ANNUITY PAYOUTS TO BE FIXED-DOLLAR AMOUNT OR VARIABLE-DOLLAR
AMOUNT?
You may choose an Annuity Payout Option with fixed-dollar amounts or
variable-dollar amounts, depending on your income needs.
FIXED-DOLLAR AMOUNT ANNUITY PAYOUTS -- Once a fixed-dollar amount Annuity Payout
begins, you cannot change your selection to receive variable-dollar amount
Annuity Payout. You will receive equal fixed-dollar amount Annuity Payouts
throughout the Annuity Payout period. Fixed-dollar amount Annuity Payout amounts
are determined by multiplying the Contract Value, minus any applicable Premium
Taxes, by an Annuity rate. The annuity rate is set by us and is not less than
the rate specified in the fixed-dollar amount Annuity Payout Option tables in
your Contract.
VARIABLE-DOLLAR AMOUNT ANNUITY PAYOUTS -- A variable-dollar amount Annuity
Payout is based on the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts. The
variable-dollar amount Annuity Payouts may fluctuate with the performance of the
underlying Funds. To begin making variable-dollar amount Annuity Payouts, we
convert the first Annuity Payout amount to a set number of Annuity Units and
then price those units to determine the Annuity Payout amount. The number of
Annuity Units that determines the Annuity Payout amount remains fixed unless you
transfer units between Sub-Accounts.
The dollar amount of the first variable Annuity Payout depends on:
- - the Annuity Payout Option chosen,
- - the Annuitant's attained age and gender (if applicable),and,
- - the applicable annuity purchase rates based on the 1983a Individual Annuity
Mortality table
- - the Assumed Investment Return
The total amount of the first variable-dollar amount Annuity Payout is
determined by dividing the Contract Value minus any applicable Premium Taxes, by
$1,000 and multiplying the result
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 25
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by the payment factor defined in the Contract for the selected Annuity Payout
Option.
The dollar amount of each subsequent variable-dollar amount Annuity Payout is
equal to the total of:
Annuity Units for each Sub-Account multiplied by Annuity Unit Value of each
Sub-Account.
The Annuity Unit Value of each Sub-Account for any Valuation Period is equal to
the Accumulation Unit Value Net Investment Factor for the current Valuation
Period multiplied by the Annuity Unit factor, multiplied by the Annuity Unit
Value for the preceding Valuation Period.
TRANSFER OF ANNUITY UNITS -- After the Annuity Calculation Date, you may
transfer dollar amounts of Annuity Units from one Sub-Account to another. On the
day you make a transfer, the dollar amounts are equal for both Sub-Accounts and
the number of Annuity Units will be different. We will transfer the dollar
amount of your Annuity Units the day we receive your written request if received
before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. Otherwise, the transfer will be
made on the next Valuation Day.
OTHER PROGRAMS AVAILABLE
INVESTEASE-REGISTERED TRADEMARK- PROGRAM -- InvestEase is an electronic transfer
program that allows you to have money automatically transferred from your
checking or savings account, and invested in your Contract. It is available for
Premium Payments made after your initial Premium Payment. The minimum amount for
each transfer is $50. You can elect to have transfers occur either monthly or
quarterly, and they can be made into any Account available in your Contract.
AUTOMATIC INCOME PROGRAM -- The Automatic Income Program allows you to Surrender
up to 10% of your total Premium Payments each Contract Year. We can Surrender
from the Accounts you select systematically on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual,
or annual basis. The Automatic Income Program may change based on your
instructions after your seventh Contract Year.
ASSET ALLOCATION PROGRAM -- Asset Allocation is a program that allows you to
choose an allocation for your Sub-Accounts to help you reach your investment
goals. Some Contracts offer model allocations with pre-selected Sub-Accounts and
percentages that have been established for each type of investor -- ranging from
conservative to aggressive. Over time, Sub-Account performance may cause your
Contract's allocation percentages to change, but under the Asset Allocation
Program, your Sub-Account allocations are rebalanced to the percentages in the
current model you have chosen. You can transfer freely between allocation models
up to twelve times per year. You can also allocate a portion of your investment
to Sub-Accounts that may not be part of the model. You can only participate in
one asset allocation model at a time.
ASSET REBALANCING -- Asset Rebalancing is another type of asset allocation
program in which you customize your Sub-Accounts to meet your investment needs.
You select the Sub-Accounts and the percentages you want allocated to each Sub-
Account. Based on the frequency you select, your model will automatically
rebalance to the original percentages chosen. You can transfer freely between
models up to twelve times per year. You can also allocate a portion of your
investment to Sub-Accounts that are not part of the model. You can only
participate in one asset rebalancing model at a time.
OTHER INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASSIGNMENT -- Ownership of this Contract is generally assignable. However, if
the Contract is issued to a tax qualified retirement plan, it is possible that
the ownership of the Contract may not be transferred or assigned. An assignment
of a Non-Qualified Contract may subject the Contract Values or Surrender Value
to income taxes and certain penalty taxes.
CONTRACT MODIFICATION -- The Annuitant may not be changed. However, if the
Annuitant is still living, the Contingent Annuitant may be changed at any time
prior to the Annuity Commencement Date by sending us written notice. We may
modify the Contract, but no modification will effect the amount or term of any
Contract unless a modification is required to conform the Contract to applicable
Federal or State law. No modification will effect the method by which Contract
Values are determined.

serves as Principal Underwriter for the securities issued with respect to the
Separate Account. HSD is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a Broker-Dealer and is a member of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. HSD is an affiliate of

FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are some of the federal tax consequences which affect these Contracts?
A. GENERAL
Since federal tax law is complex, the tax consequences of purchasing this
contract will vary depending on your situation. You may need tax or legal advice
to help you determine whether purchasing this contract is right for you.
Our general discussion of the tax treatment of this contract is based on our
understanding of federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted. A
detailed description of all federal income tax consequences regarding the
purchase of this contract cannot be made in the prospectus. We also do not
discuss state, municipal or other tax laws that may apply to this contract. For
detailed information, you should consult with a qualified tax adviser familiar
with your situation.
B. TAXATION OF HARTFORD AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account is taxed as part of Hartford which is taxed as a life
insurance company in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (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"). 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 Code governs the taxation of annuities in general.
1. NON-NATURAL PERSONS, CORPORATIONS, ETC.
Code Section 72 contains provisions for contract owners which are not natural
persons. Non-natural persons include corporations, trusts, limited liability
companies, partnerships and other types of legal entities. The tax rules for
contracts owned by non-natural persons are different from the rules for
contracts owned by individuals. For example, the annual net increase in the
value of the contract is currently includible 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 are additional exceptions 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 a non-natural person, the primary annuitant is treated
as the contract owner in applying mandatory distribution rules. These rules
require that certain distributions be made upon the death of the contract owner.
A change in the primary annuitant is also treated as the death of the contract
owner.
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 27
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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 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, 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.
<PAGE>
28 HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 (not less frequently than annually) for the life (or
life expectancy) of the recipient (or the joint lives or life
expectancies of the recipient and the recipient's designated
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
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 must be
made 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. This spousal continuation shall apply only
once for this contract.
3. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS.
The Code requires that investments supporting your contract be adequately
diversified. Code Section 817 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.
If a contract is not treated as an annuity contract, the contract owner will be
subject to income tax on annual increases in cash value.
The Treasury Department's diversification regulations 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
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 29
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
treated as a single investment. In the case of government securities, each
government agency or instrumentality is 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 still 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.
We monitor the diversification of investments in the separate accounts and test
for diversification as required by the Code. We intend 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 separate accounts supporting the contract must be considered to be owned by
the insurance company and not by the contract owner. It is unclear under what
circumstances an investor is considered to have enough control over the assets
in the separate account to be considered the owner of the assets for tax
purposes.
The IRS has issued several rulings discussing investor control. These rulings
say that certain 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.
In its explanation of the diversification regulations, the Treasury Department
recognized 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, guidance has
yet to be issued. We do not know if additional guidance will be issued. If
guidance is issued, we do not know if it will have a retroactive effect.
Due to the lack of specific guidance on investor control, there is some
uncertainty about when a contract owner is considered the owner of the assets
for tax purposes. We reserve the right to modify the contract, as necessary, to
prevent you from being considered the owner of assets in the separate account.
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 there is no election to waive withholding, 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, Hartford 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.
E. GENERAL PROVISIONS AFFECTING QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS
The Contract may be used for a number of qualified retirement plans. If the
Contract is being purchased with respect to some form of qualified retirement
plan, please refer to Appendix I for information relative to the types of plans
for which it may be used and the general explanation of the tax features of such
plans.
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 adviser regarding U.S.,
state, and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity purchase.

APPENDIX I -- INFORMATION REGARDING TAX-QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS
This summary does not attempt to provide more than general information about the
federal income tax rules associated with use of a Contract by a tax-qualified
retirement plan. Because of the complexity of the federal tax rules, owners,
participants and beneficiaries are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors
as to specific tax consequences.
The federal tax rules applicable to owners of Contracts under tax-qualified
retirement plans vary according to the type of plan as well as the terms and
conditions of the plan itself. Contract owners, plan participants and
beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights and benefits of any person may be
controlled by the terms and conditions of the tax-qualified retirement plan
itself, regardless of the terms and conditions of a Contract. We are not bound
by the terms and conditions of such plans to the extent such terms conflict with
a Contract, unless we specifically consent to be bound.
Some tax-qualified retirement plans are subject to distribution and other
requirements that are not incorporated into our administrative procedures.
Contract owners, participants and beneficiaries are responsible for determining
that contributions, distributions and other transactions comply with applicable
law. Tax penalties may apply to transactions with respect to tax-qualified
retirement plans if applicable federal income tax rules and restrictions are not
carefully observed.
We do not currently offer the Contracts in connection with all of the types of
tax-qualified retirement plans discussed below and may not offer the Contracts
for all types of tax-qualified retirement plans in the future.
1. TAX-QUALIFIED PENSION OR PROFIT-SHARING PLANS -- Eligible employers can
establish certain tax-qualified pension and profit-sharing plans under
section 401 of the Code. Rules under section 401(k) of the Code govern certain
"cash or deferred arrangements" under such plans. Rules under section 408(k)
govern "simplified employee pensions". Tax-qualified pension and profit-sharing
plans are subject to limitations on the amount that may be contributed, the
persons who may be eligible to participate and the time when distributions must
commence. Employers intending to use the Contracts in connection with
tax-qualified pension or profit-sharing plans should seek competent tax and
other legal advice.
2. TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES UNDER SECTION 403(B) -- Public schools and certain
types of charitable, educational and scientific organizations, as specified in
section 501(c)(3) of the Code, can purchase tax-sheltered annuity contracts for
their employees. Tax-deferred contributions can be made to tax-sheltered annuity
contracts under section 403(b) of the Code, subject to certain limitations.
Generally, such contributions may not exceed the lesser of $10,000 (indexed) or
20% of the employee's includable compensation for such employee's most recent
full year of employment, subject to other adjustments. Special provisions under
the Code 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:
- - after the participating employee attains age 59 1/2;
- - upon separation from service;
- - upon death or disability; or
- - in the case of hardship (and in the case of hardship, any income attributable
to such contributions may not be distributed).
Generally, the above restrictions do not apply to distributions attributable to
cash values or other amounts held under a section 403(b) contract as of December
31, 1988.
3. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS UNDER SECTION 457 -- A governmental employer or a
tax-exempt employer other than a governmental unit can establish a Deferred
Compensation Plan under section 457 of the Code. For these purposes, a
"governmental employer" is a State, a political subdivision of a State, or an
agency or an instrumentality of a State or political subdivision of a State.
Employees and independent contractors performing services for a governmental or
tax-exempt employer can elect to have contributions made to a Deferred
Compensation Plan of their employer in accordance with the employer's plan and
section 457 of the Code.
Deferred Compensation Plans that meet the requirements of section 457(b) of the
Code are called "eligible" Deferred Compensation Plans. Section 457(b) limits
the amount of contributions that can be made to an eligible Deferred
Compensation Plan on behalf of a participant. Generally, the limitation on
contributions is 33 1/3% of a participant's includable compensation (typically
25% of gross compensation) or, for 1999, $8,000 (indexed), whichever is less.
The plan may provide for additional catch-up contributions during the three
taxable years ending before the year in which the participant attains normal
retirement age.
All of the assets and income of an eligible Deferred Compensation Plan
established by a governmental employer after August 20, 1996, must be held in
trust for the exclusive benefit of participants and their beneficiaries. For
this purpose, custodial accounts and certain annuity contracts are treated as
trusts. Eligible Deferred Compensation Plans that were in existence on August
20, 1996 may be amended to satisfy the trust and exclusive benefit requirements
any time prior to January 1, 1999, and must be amended not later than that date
to continue to receive favorable tax treatment. The requirement of a trust does
not apply to amounts under a Deferred Compensation Plan of a tax-exempt
(non-governmental) employer. In addition, the requirement of a trust does not
apply to amounts under a Deferred
<PAGE>
HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY 31
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compensation Plan of a governmental employer if the Deferred Compensation Plan
is not an eligible plan within the meaning of section 457(b) of the Code. In the
absence of such a trust, amounts under the plan will be subject to the claims of
the employer's general creditors.
In general, distributions from an eligible Deferred Compensation Plan are
prohibited under section 457 of the Code unless made after the participating
employee:
- - attains age 70 1/2,
- - separates from service,
- - dies, or
- - suffers an unforeseeable financial emergency as defined in the Code.
Under present federal tax law, amounts accumulated in a Deferred Compensation
Plan under section 457 of the Code cannot be transferred or rolled over on a
tax-deferred basis except for certain transfers to other Deferred Compensation
Plans under section 457 in limited cases.
4. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES ("IRAS") UNDER SECTION 408
TRADITIONAL IRAS -- Eligible individuals can establish individual retirement
programs under section 408 of the Code through the purchase of an IRA. Section
408 imposes limits with respect to IRAs, including limits on the amount that may
be contributed to an IRA, the amount of such contributions that may be deducted
from taxable income, the persons who may be eligible to contribute to an IRA,
and the time when distributions commence from an IRA. Distributions from certain
tax-qualified retirement plans may be rolled-over to an IRA on a tax-deferred
basis.
SIMPLE IRAS -- Eligible employees may establish SIMPLE IRAs in connection with a
SIMPLE IRA plan of an employer under section 408(p) of the Code. Special
rollover rules apply to SIMPLE IRAs. Amounts can be rolled over from one SIMPLE
IRA to another SIMPLE IRA. However, amounts can be rolled over from a SIMPLE IRA
to a Traditional IRA only after two years have expired since the employee first
commenced participation in the employer's SIMPLE IRA plan. Amounts cannot be
rolled over to a SIMPLE IRA from a qualified plan or a Traditional IRA. Hartford
is a non-designated financial institution for purposes of the SIMPLE IRA rules.
ROTH IRAS -- Eligible individuals may establish Roth IRAs under section 408A of
the Code. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible. Subject to special
limitations, a Traditional IRA may be converted into a Roth IRA or a
distribution from a Traditional IRA may be rolled over to a Roth IRA. However, a
conversion or a rollover from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA is not excludable
from gross income. If certain conditions are met, qualified distributions from a
Roth IRA are tax-free.
5. FEDERAL TAX PENALTIES AND WITHHOLDING -- Distributions from tax-qualified
retirement plans are generally taxed as ordinary income 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 that bears the
same ratio as the after-tax contributions bear to the expected return.
(A) PENALTY TAX ON EARLY DISTRIBUTIONS Section 72(t) of the Code imposes an
additional penalty tax equal to 10% of the taxable portion of a distribution
from certain tax-qualified retirement plans. However, the 10% penalty tax
does not apply to a distributions that is:
- - Made on or after the date on which the employee reaches age 59 1/2;
- - Made to a beneficiary (or to the estate of the employee) on or after the death
of the employee;
- - Attributable to the employee's becoming disabled (as defined in the Code);
- - Part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently
than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the employee or the
joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the employee and his or her
designated beneficiary;
- - Except in the case of an IRA, made to an employee after separation from
service after reaching age 55; or
- - Not greater than the amount allowable as a deduction to the employee for
eligible medical expenses during the taxable year.
IN ADDITION, THE 10% PENALTY TAX DOES NOT APPLY TO A DISTRIBUTION FROM AN IRA
THAT IS:
- - Made after separation from employment to an unemployed IRA owner for health
insurance premiums, if certain conditions are met;
- - Not in excess of the amount of certain qualifying higher education expenses,
as defined by section 72(t)(7) of the Code; or
- - A qualified first-time homebuyer distribution meeting the requirements
specified at section 72(t)(8) of the Code.
If you are a participant in a SIMPLE IRA plan, you should be aware that the 10%
penalty tax is increased to 25% with respect to non-exempt early distributions
made from your SIMPLE IRA during the first two years following the date you
first commenced participation in any SIMPLE IRA plan of your employer.
(B) MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION PENALTY TAX If the amount distributed is less than the
minimum required distribution for the year, the Participant is subject to a
50% penalty tax on the amount that was not properly distributed.
An individual's interest in a tax-qualified retirement plan generally must be
distributed, or begin to be distributed, not later than the Required Beginning
Date. Generally, the Required Beginning Date is April 1 of the calendar year
following the later of:
- - the calendar year in which the individual attains age 70 1/2; or
- - the calendar year in which the individual retires from service with the
employer sponsoring the plan.
<PAGE>
32 HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Required Beginning Date for an individual who is a five (5) percent owner
(as defined in the Code), or who is the owner of an IRA, is April 1 of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which the individual attains age
70 1/2.
The entire interest of the Participant must be distributed beginning no later
than the Required Beginning Date over:
- - the life of the Participant or the lives of the Participant and the
Participant's designated beneficiary, or
- - over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Participant or
the joint life expectancy of the Participant and the Participant's 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 individual's death. However, this rule will be deemed satisfied, if
distributions begin before the close of the calendar year following the
individual's death to a designated beneficiary and distribution is over the life
of such designated beneficiary (or over a period not extending beyond the life
expectancy of the beneficiary). If the beneficiary is the individual's surviving
spouse, distributions may be delayed until the individual would have attained
age 70 1/2.
If an individual dies after reaching his or her Required Beginning Date or after
distributions have commenced, the individual's interest must generally be
distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at
the time of the individual's death.
(C) WITHHOLDING In general, regular wage withholding rules apply to
distributions from IRAs and plans described in section 457 of the Code.
Periodic distributions from other tax-qualified retirement plans that are
made for a specified period of 10 or more years or for the life or life
expectancy of the participant (or the joint lives or life expectancies of
the participant and beneficiary) are generally subject to federal income tax
withholding as if the recipient were married claiming three exemptions. 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.
Mandatory federal income tax withholding at a flat rate of 20% will generally
apply to other distributions from such other tax-qualified retirement plans
unless such distributions are:
- - the non-taxable portion of the distribution;
- - required minimum distributions; or
- - direct transfer distributions.
Direct transfer distributions are direct payments to an IRA or to another
eligible retirement plan under Code section 401(a)(31).
Certain states require withholding of state taxes when federal income tax is
withheld.

DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS
Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") serves as Principal
Underwriter for the securities issued with respect to the Separate Account.
HSD is an affiliate of Hartford. Both HSD and Hartford are ultimately
controlled by The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. The principal
business address of HSD is the same as that of Hartford.
The securities will be sold by salesperson of HSD who represent Hartford as
insurance and variable annuity agents and who are registered representatives
of Broker-Dealers who have entered into distribution agreements with HSD.
HSD is registered with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 as a Broker-Dealer and is a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.
Commissions will be paid by Hartford and will not be more than 6% of premium
payments. From time to time, Hartford may pay or permit other promotional
incentives, in cash or credit or other compensation.
Broker-dealers or financial institutions are compensated according to a
schedule set forth by HSD and any applicable rules or regulations for
variable insurance compensation. Compensation is generally based on premium
payments made by policyholders or contract owners. This compensation is
usually paid from the sales charges described in the prospectus.
In addition, a broker-dealer or financial institution may also receive
additional compensation for, among other things, training, marketing or other
services provided. HSD, its affiliates or Hartford may also make compensation
arrangements with certain broker-dealers or financial institutions based on
total sales by the broker-dealer or financial institution of insurance
products. These payments, which may be different for different
broker-dealers or financial institutions, will be made by HSD, its affiliates
or Hartford out of their own assets and will not effect the amounts paid by
the policyholders or contract owners to purchase, hold or Surrender variable
insurance products.
Hartford currently pays HSD underwriting commissions for its role as
Principal Underwriter of all variable annuities associated with this Separate
Account. For the past three years, the aggregate dollar amount of
underwriting commissions paid to HSD in its role as Principal Underwriter has
been: 1998 : $107,925,386, 1997: $134,304,585 and 1996: $118,242,027. HSD
has retained none of these commissions.
CALCULATION OF YIELD AND RETURN
YIELD OF THE MONEY MARKET FUND SUB-ACCOUNT.
<PAGE>
The yield of the Money Market Fund Sub-Account 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 accumulation unit of the Sub-Account at the beginning of the period,
subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from Contract Owner
accounts, and dividing the difference by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return, and then
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 effective yield is calculated by compounding the base period return by
adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal to 365/7 and subtracting 1 from
the result, according to the following formula:
Effective Yield = [(Base Period Return + 1) 365/7] - 1
The Money Market Fund Sub-Account's yield and effective yield will vary in
response to fluctuations in interest rates and in the expenses of the
Sub-Account. The current yield and effective yield reflect recurring charges
on the Separate Account level, including the maximum Annual Maintenance Fee.
The yield and effective yield for the seven-day period ending December 31,
1998 for the Money Market Fund Sub-Account was as follows ($30 Annual
Maintenance Fee):

YIELDS OF BOND FUND, HIGH YIELD FUND, AND MORTGAGE SECURITIES FUND
SUB-ACCOUNTS. Yields of the above 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 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-
<PAGE>

Accounts' shares and to the relative risks associated with the investment
objectives and policies of the underlying Fund.
The yield reflects recurring charges on the Separate Account level, including
the Annual Maintenance Fee.
Yield calculations of the Sub-Accounts used for illustration purposes reflect
the interest earned by the Sub-Accounts, less applicable asset charges
assessed against a Contract Owner's account over the base period. Yield
quotations based on a 30-day period were computed by dividing the dividends
and interest earned during the period by the maximum offering price per unit
on the last day of the period, according to the following formula:
Example:
Current Yield Formula for the Sub-Account 2[((A-B)/(CD) + 1)6 - 1]
Where A = Dividends and interest earned during the period.
B = Expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
C = The average daily number of units outstanding during the period that
were entitled to receive dividends.
D = The maximum offering price per unit on the last day of the period.

**Yield quotation based on a 30-day period ended December 31, 1998.
The method of calculating yields described above for these Sub-Accounts
differs from the method used by the Sub-Accounts prior to May 1, 1989. The
denominator of the fraction used to calculate yield was previously the
average unit value for the period calculated. That denominator will
hereafter be the unit value of the Sub-Accounts on the last trading day of
the period calculated.
CALCULATION OF TOTAL RETURN. Total return is a measure of the change in
value of an investment in a Sub-Account over the period covered and assumes
that the Optional Death Benefit has not been elected. The formula for total
return used herein includes three steps: (1) calculating the value of the
hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 as of the end of the period by
multiplying the total number of units owned at the end of the period by the
unit value per unit on the last trading day of the period; (2) assuming
<PAGE>
-7-
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 RELATED INFORMATION
The Separate Account may advertise certain performance-related information
concerning the 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.
When a Sub-Account advertises its STANDARDIZED TOTAL RETURN, it will usually be
calculated since the inception of the Separate Account 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.
The Separate Account may also advertise NON-STANDARD TOTAL RETURNS THAT PRE-DATE
THE INCEPTION DATE OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. These non-standardized total returns
are calculated by assuming that the Sub-Accounts have been in existence for the
same periods as the underlying Funds and by taking deductions for charges equal
to those currently assessed against the Sub-Accounts. These non-standardized
returns must be accompanied by standardized total returns.
If applicable, the 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 includes the recurring charges at the
Separate Account level including the Annual Maintenance Fee.
The Hartford Money Market HLS 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 include the recurring charges at the
Separate Account level including the Annual Maintenance Fee.
The Separate Account may also disclose YIELD for periods prior to the date the
Separate Account commenced operations. For these periods, performance
information for the Sub-Accounts will be calculated 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. No yield disclosure
for periods prior to the date of the Separate Account will be used without the
yield disclosure for periods as of the date of the inception of the Separate
Account.
We 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 systematic investing, Dollar Cost Averaging
and asset allocation), the advantages and disadvantages of investing in
tax-deferred and taxable instruments, customer profiles and hypothetical
purchase scenarios, financial management and tax and retirement planning, and
other investment alternatives, including comparisons between the Contract and
the characteristics of and market for such alternatives.
The following are the standardized average annual total return quotations for
the Sub-Accounts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

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 and the time periods used to
calculate return are based on the inception date of the underlying Funds.
Therefore, non-standardized total return for a Sub-Account is higher than
standardized total return for a Sub-Account. The following are the
non-standardized annualized total return quotations for the Sub-Accounts for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS
YIELD AND TOTAL RETURN. Each Sub-Account may from time-to-time include its
total return in advertisements or in information furnished to present or
prospective shareholders. Each Sub-Account may from time-to-time include its
yield and total return in advertisements or information furnished to present or
prospective shareholders. Each Sub-Account may from time-to-time include in
advertisements its total return (and yield in the case of certain Sub-Accounts)
the ranking of those performance figures relative to such figures for groups of
other annuities analyzed by Lipper Analytical Services 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
<PAGE>
-11-
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, 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
issues are not included in the SL Government Index.
The Shearson Lehman Government/Corporate Bond Index (the "SL
Government/Corporate Index") is a measure of the market value of
approximately 5,300 bonds with a face value currently in excess of $1.3
trillion. To be included in the SL Government/Corporate Index, an issue must
have amounts outstanding in excess of $1 million, have at least one year to
maturity and be rated "Baa" or higher ("investment grade") by a nationally
recognized rating agency.
The 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%).

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 November 30, 1999, there were no Contract Owners.
Item 28. Indemnification
Under Section 33-772 of the Connecticut General Statutes, unless
limited by its certificate of incorporation, the
Registrant must indemnify a director who was wholly
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a
director of the corporation against reasonable expenses
incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.
The Registrant may indemnify an individual made a party to a
proceeding because he is or was a director against liability
incurred in the proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal
proceeding, had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Conn. Gen. Stat. 33-771(a). Additionally, pursuant to Conn. Gen.
Stat. 33-776, the Registrant may indemnify officers and employees
or agents for liability incurred and for any expenses to which they
becomes subject by reason of being or having been an employees or
officers of the Registrant. Connecticut law does not prescribe
standards for the indemnification of officers, employees and agents
and expressly states that their indemnification may be broader than
the right of indemnification granted to directors.
The foregoing statements are specifically made subject to the
detailed provisions of Section 33-770 et seq.
Notwithstanding the fact that Connecticut law obligates the
Registrant to indemnify only a director that was successful on the
merits in a suit, under Article VIII, Section 2 of the Registrant's
bylaws, the Registrant must indemnify both directors and officers
of the Registrant who are parties or threatened to be parties to a
legal proceeding by reason of his being or having been a director
or officer of the Registrant for any expenses if he acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the company, and with respect to
criminal
-3-
<PAGE>
proceedings, had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Unless otherwise mandated by a court, no indemnification
shall be made if such officer or director is adjudged to be
liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to
the Registrant.
Additionally, the directors and officers of Hartford 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. Such
policy will reimburse the Registrant for any payments that it shall
make to directors and officers pursuant to law and will, subject to
certain exclusions contained in the policy, further pay any other
costs, charges and expenses and settlements and judgments arising
from any proceeding involving any director or officer of the
Registrant in his past or present capacity as such, and for which
he may be liable, except as to any liabilities arising from acts
that are deemed to be uninsurable.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) 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.

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES:
Subject to the Annual Withdrawal Amount, surrenders of Contract Values
attributable to Premium Payments may be made subject to a Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge ("charge"). The length of time from receipt of the Premium Payment
to the time of surrender determines the charge.
The charge is a percentage of the amount surrendered (not to exceed the
aggregate amount of the Premium Payments made) and equals:

</TABLE>
During the Initial Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Period, for the purpose of
determining the charge, all surrenders in excess of the Annual Withdrawal Amount
will be taken:
- - first from Premium Payments;
- - then from earnings; and
- - then from Payment Enhancements.
If an amount equal to all Premium Payments has been assessed a Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge, a charge will not be assessed against the surrender of
the remaining Contract Value.
After the Initial Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Period, for the purpose of
determining the charge, all surrenders in excess of the Annual Withdrawal Amount
will be taken:
- - first from earnings;
- - then from Premium Payments no longer subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge;
- - then from Payment Enhancements associated with Premium Payments no longer
subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge;
- - then from Premium Payments still subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge;
- - then from Payment Enhancements associated with Premium Payments still
subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.
A charge will not be assessed against the surrender of earnings or Payment
Enhancements. If an amount equal to all earnings has been surrendered, a charge
will not be assessed against Premium Payments no longer subject to a Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge, but will be assessed against Premium Payments still
subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. For this purpose, Premium
Payments will be deemed to be surrendered in the order in which they were
received.
No Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will be assessed if:
- - the contract terminates due to the death of the Annuitant or Contract Owner
(as applicable);
- - eligibility requirements are met for the waiver of surrender charge;
- - only the Annual Withdrawal Amount is taken; or
- - an Annuity option is elected. (Any surrender out of any variable Annuity
option with a period certain segment may be subject to Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges.)

to or from some or all of the Sub-Accounts
and could include, but not be limited to:
a) the requirement of a minimum time period
between each transfer;
b) not accepting transfer requests of an
agent acting under a power of attorney
or on behalf of more than one Contract Owner, or
c) limiting the dollar amount that may be

amount up to 100% of the Fixed Account
dollar value receiving that reduced rate
within 60 days of notification of the
interest rate decrease. We reserve the right
to defer transfers from the Fixed Account
for up to six months from the date of
request.
Transfers may not be made from the
Sub-Accounts into the Fixed Account for the
six month period following any transfer from

TAX QUALIFICATION
This Contract is intended to qualify as an
Annuity contract for federal income tax
purposes. To that end, the provisions of
this contract are to be interpreted to
ensure and maintain such tax qualification,
notwithstanding any other provisions to the
contrary. We reserve the right to amend this
Contract to conform to any changes in the
tax qualification requirements under the
applicable provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code.
VALUATION NET PREMIUM PAYMENTS
PROVISIONS The net Premium Payment is equal to the
Premium Payment minus any applicable Premium
Taxes We may deduct. The net Premium
Payment, plus the Payment Enhancement, is
applied to purchase Fixed Account values or
Sub-Account Accumulation Units that You have
selected.
The number of Accumulation Units credited to
each Sub-Account is determined by dividing
the Net Premium Payment, plus the Payment
Enhancement, allocated to a Sub-Account by
the dollar value of one Accumulation Unit
for such Sub-Account. This is computed in
compliance with Securities and Exchange
Commission regulations. The number of
Accumulation Units will not be affected by
any subsequent change in the value of such
Accumulation Units. The Accumulation Unit
value in any Sub-Account may increase or
decrease from day to day as described below.

VALUATION We will determine the value of the Fixed
PROVISIONS Account(s) by crediting interest to amounts
(CONTINUED) allocated to the Fixed Account(s). The Minimum
Fixed Account Interest Rate is the rate shown on
Page 3, compounded annually. At Our discretion,
We may credit interest rates greater than
the Minimum Fixed Account Interest Rate. We
may change the rate or rates credited in
accordance with applicable law.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The net investment factor for each of the Sub-
Accounts is equal to:
a) the Net Asset Value Per Share of the
corresponding Fund at the end of the
Valuation Period (plus the per share
amount of any unpaid dividends or
capital gains by that Fund); divided by
b) the Net Asset Value Per Share of the
corresponding Fund at the beginning of
the Valuation Period; minus
c) the mortality and expense risk charge
and any applicable administration
charges, shown on Page 3, adjusted for
the number of days in the Valuation
Period.
The Fixed Account net investment factor is
guaranteed to be at least equal to the
Minimum Fixed Account Interest Rate shown on
Page 3.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
The value of an Accumulation Unit for each
Sub-Account of the Separate Account will
vary to reflect the investment experience
of the applicable Funds. It will be
determined by multiplying:
a) the value of the Accumulation Unit for
that Sub-Account as of the preceding
Valuation Day by
b) the Net Investment Factor for that
Sub-Account for the Valuation Day for
which the Accumulation Unit value is
being calculated.
The value of the Sub-Account as of each
Valuation Day is then determined by
multiplying:
a) the number of Accumulation Units in that
Sub-Account by
b) the Accumulation Unit value as of that
Valuation Day.
ANNUITY UNIT VALUE
The value of an Annuity Unit for each Sub-Account
of the Separate Account will vary to reflect the
investment experience of the applicable Funds.
It will be determined by multiplying:
a) the value of the Annuity Unit for that
Sub-Account as of the preceding
Valuation Day by
b) the Net Investment Factor for that Sub-Account
for the Valuation Day for which the Annuity
Unit value is being calculated; and by
c) the Annuity Unit Factor.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE
Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the
Annual Maintenance Fee, if applicable, will
be deducted on the Contract Anniversary or
upon full surrender of this contract. The
fee will be charged against the Contract
Value by reducing the Fixed Account value,
and with respect to the Sub-Accounts, the
number of Accumulation Units held as of that
date. The fee will be charged on a pro-rata
basis with respect to each active Account.
The number of Accumulation Units deducted
from each Sub-Account is determined by
dividing the pro-rata portion of the Annual
Maintenance Fee by the value of an
Accumulation Unit for the applicable
Sub-Account.

is at least equal to Our minimum amount
rules then in effect. If the remaining
Contract Value following such surrender is
less than Our minimum amount rules, We may
terminate the contract and pay the Surrender
Value.
The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge will be
assessed against any Contract Values
surrendered as described on Page 3. However,
on a noncumulative basis, You may make
partial surrenders during any Contract Year,
up to the Annual Withdrawal Amount shown on
Page 3 and the Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge will not be assessed against such
amounts. Surrender of Contract Values in
excess of the Withdrawal Amount and
additional surrenders made in any Contract
Year will be subject to the Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge, as described on Page
3, if applicable.
Generally, for federal tax purposes, any
surrenders will be deemed to be first from
earnings, to the extent that they exist,
then from Payment Enhancements and then from
the Premium Payments.
WAIVER OF SURRENDER CHARGE
We will waive any Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
applicable to a partial or full surrender of the
Contract Value if the covered person has met the
requirements of eligible confinement as described
below. A covered person is:
a) the current Contract Owner if the Contract
Owner has been the Contract Owner continuously
since the date of issue and if not confined
at the time the contract was purchased; and
b) the Annuitant, if not confined at the time the
contract was purchased.
This benefit will be provided if the Contract Owner
provides written proof of confinement which is
satisfactory to Us and requests the partial surrender
or full surrender of the Contract Value within 91 days
of the last day of confinement. Confinement must be at
the recommendation of a physician for medically
necessary reasons, for at least 180 consecutive calendar
days, to:
a) a hospital recognized as a general hospital by the
proper authority of the state in which it is
located; or
b) a hospital recognized as a general hospital by
the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of
Hospitals; or
c) a facility certified as a hospital by Medicare; or
d) a nursing home licensed by the state in
which it is located and which has a
registered nurse on duty 24 hours a day;
or
e) a facility certified by Medicare as a
long term care facility.

SURRENDER We will not accept additional Premium Payments
PROVISIONS after a covered person requests the partial
(CONTINUED) surrender or full surrender of the Contract

Enhancements credited during the period of
confinement when a full or partial surrender
is requested.
SURRENDER AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
This contract may only be surrendered for
its Commuted Value, less any applicable
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge, after the
commencement of variable Annuity payments
under any option with a period certain
segment.
PAYMENT ON SURRENDER - DEFERRAL OF PAYMENT
Payment on any request for surrender will be
made as soon as possible and with respect to
Contract Values in the Sub-Accounts, within
seven days after the written request is
received by Us in good order. However, such
payment may be subject to postponement:
a) for any period during which the New York
Stock Exchange is closed or during
which trading on the New York Stock Exchange
is restricted;
b) for any period during which an emergency
exists as a result of which
(i) disposal of the securities held in
the Sub-Accounts is not reasonably
practicable, or (ii) it is not
reasonably practicable for the value of
the net assets of the Separate Account
to be fairly determined; and
c) for such other periods as the Securities
and Exchange Commission may, by order,
permit for the protection of the
Contract Owners. The conditions under
which trading will be deemed to be
restricted or any emergency will be
deemed to exist will be determined by
rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
We may defer payment of any amounts from the
Fixed Account for up to six months from the
date of the request to surrender. If We
defer payment for more than 30 days, We will
pay interest of at least 3% per annum on the
amount deferred.

DEATH ON OR AFTER THE ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
If the Contract Owner dies, and the
Annuitant is living, the designated
Beneficiary will become the Contract Owner.
If the Annuitant dies, the Contract Owner
will be the Beneficiary. Upon Our receipt of
Due Proof of Death, the rights of the
designated Beneficiary are voided.
If the Annuitant who is also the Contract
Owner dies, the designated Beneficiary will
be the Beneficiary.
The Death Benefit will be calculated as of
the date We receive written notification of
Due Proof of Death as in the manner
described in the settlement option then in
effect.
CALCULATION CALCULATION OF THE DEATH BENEFIT
OF THE DEATH Should the Contract Owner or Annuitant die before
BENEFIT the Annuity Commencement Date, any Death Benefit
PROVISIONS payable will be calculated as of the date We receive
Due Proof of Death.
If the calculated Death Benefit is not equal
to the Contract Value, the difference will
be allocated proportionally to the
Account(s) in accordance with the then
current Account allocation.
During the time period between Our receipt
of written notification of Due Proof of
Death and Our receipt of complete settlement
instructions from each Beneficiary, the
calculated Death Benefit amount will be
subject to market fluctuations.
DEATH BENEFIT
The Death Benefit is the greatest of:
a) the Contract Value; reduced by any Payment
Enhancement(s) credited in the 12 months
prior to the date of calculation of the
Death Benefit; or
b) 100% of all Premium Payments, reduced by
the gross amount of any partial
surrenders since the Contract Issue
Date; or
c) the Maximum Anniversary Value, reduced
by any Payment Enhancement(s) credited
in the 12 months prior to the date of
calculation of the Death Benefit.

CALCULATION MAXIMUM ANNIVERSARY VALUE
OF THE DEATH The Maximum Anniversary Value is based on a
BENEFIT series of calculations on Contract Anniversaries
PROVISIONS of Contract Values, Premium Payments, Payment
(CONTINUED) Enhancement(s), and partial surrenders.
As of the date We receive notification of
Due Proof of Death, We will calculate an
Anniversary Value for each Contract
Anniversary prior to the decedent's death
and 81st birthday. The Anniversary Value is
equal to the Contract Value as of a Contract
Anniversary, increased by the dollar amount
of any Premium Payments made and any Payment
Enhancement(s) credited since that
anniversary and reduced by the dollar amount
of any partial surrenders since that
anniversary. The Maximum Anniversary Value
is equal to the greatest Anniversary Value
attained from this series of calculations.
SETTLEMENT OF THE DEATH BENEFIT
The Death Benefit may be taken in one sum or
under any of the settlement options then
being offered by Us subject, however, to the
Distribution Requirements below.
As of the date of receipt of complete
disbursement instructions from the
Beneficiary, the amount to be paid or
applied to a selected settlement option will
be computed. When there is more than one
Beneficiary, the amount will be calculated
for each Beneficiary's share of the proceeds
and paid or applied to a selected settlement
option according to and upon each
Beneficiary's instructions. If the date of
receipt of complete instructions falls on a
non-Valuation Day, the amount will be
computed on the next Valuation Day.
When settlement is taken in one sum, the
disbursement will be mailed within 7 days of
Our receipt of complete instructions, except
when We are permitted to defer such payment
under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS
Subject to the Alternative Election or Spouse
Beneficiary provisions below:
a) If any Contract Owner dies before the
Annuity Commencement Date, the entire
interest in the Contract will be distributed
within five years after such death; and
b) 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 will be distributed at
least as rapidly as under the method of
distribution being used as of the date
of such death.
If the Contract Owner is not an individual, then
for purposes of the preceding paragraph a) or b),
the Annuitant will be treated as the Contract Owner.
ALTERNATIVE ELECTION TO SATISFY DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS
If any portion of the interest of a Contract
Owner described above is payable to or for
the benefit of a designated Beneficiary, and
the Beneficiary elects after the Contract
Owner's death to have the benefit
distributed over a period that:
a) does not extend beyond such Beneficiary's life (or
life expectancy); and
b) does commence within one year of the date of death,
then for purposes of satisfying the Distribution
Requirements above, the benefit will be
treated as distributed entirely on the date
such periodic distributions begin.

CALCULATION SPOUSE BENEFICIARY
OF THE DEATH In the event of the death of a Contract Owner
BENEFIT and there is no joint Contract Owner, and the
PROVISIONS sole Beneficiary is the Contract Owner's spouse
(CONTINUED) and the annuitant (or Contingent Annuitant, if
applicable) is alive, the contract will continue
with the spouse as the Contract Owner, unless the
spouse elects to be paid a Death Benefit option.
This provision will apply only once with respect
to this contract.
If the contract continues with the spouse as
the Contract Owner, the Death Benefit will
be calculated on receipt of Due Proof of
Death. If the Contract Value is less than
the calculated Death Benefit amount, the
Contract Value will be increased
accordingly.
SETTLEMENT ANNUITY COMMENCEMENT DATE
PROVISIONS The Annuity Commencement Date is shown on Page 3.
You may change the date by notifying Us prior to
the Annuity Commencement Date. This date will not
be deferred beyond the Valuation Day immediately
following the later of:
a) the Annuitant's 90th birthday; or
b) the end of the tenth Contract Year,
unless the Contract Owner elects a later Annuity
Commencement Date subject to laws and regulations
then in effect and Our approval.
If this contract is issued to the trustee of
a charitable remainder trust, the Annuity
Commencement Date may be deferred to the
Annuitant's 100th birthday.
ELECTION OF ANNUITY OPTION
You may elect, in writing, without deduction
of any Contingent Deferred Sales Charge, any
one of the Annuity options described below
(except the seventh option - Annuity Proceeds
Settlement Option) or any Annuity option
then being offered by Us. The Annuity option
may not be changed on or after the Annuity
Commencement Date.
In the absence of an election by You, the
Contract Value will be used to calculate a
fixed dollar Annuity under the Third Option
(Life Annuity with 10 Years Period Certain).
Some of the options may not be available if
this contract is issued to qualify under
Section 401, 403, or 408 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 as amended. The third,
fifth and sixth options (Life Annuity with
Payments for a Period Certain, Joint and
Last Survivor Life Annuity with Payments for
a Period Certain, and Payment for a Period
Certain) or any other option with a period
certain segment will be available only if
the guaranteed payment period is less than
the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the
time the option becomes effective. Such life
expectancy will be computed under the
mortality table then in use by Us.
ELECTION OF ANNUITY PAYMENT FREQUENCY
You may elect the Annuity Payment Frequency.
Available Annuity Payment Frequencies
include: monthly, quarterly, semi-annual,
and annual. In the event that You do not
elect a payment frequency, Annuity payments
will be made monthly. Annuity payments will
be made according to the Annuity Payment
Frequency selected. You may elect to change
the Annuity Payment Frequency of Your
payments within 30 days prior to the

SETTLEMENT ANNUITY CALCULATION AND PAYMENT DATES
PROVISIONS The Annuity Calculation Date will be no more
(CONTINUED) than five Valuation Days prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date. You may elect variable Annuity
payments, fixed dollar Annuity payments, or a
combination fixed and variable Annuity
payments. The election may not change on or
after the Annuity Commencement Date.
Applicable Premium Taxes and any Payment
Enhancements credited in the prior 24 months
will be deducted from the Contract Value
when determining the amount available for
Annuity payments.
If You elect variable Annuity payments, the
amount available for Annuity payments, as
described above, is applied pro-rata to Your
selected Sub- Account(s). If You elect fixed
dollar Annuity payments, the amount
available for Annuity payments, as described
above, will be applied to the General
Account.
If You elect variable Annuity payments, Your
election must specify the Assumed Investment
Return upon which Your payments are to be
based. The available rates are 3%, 5%, and
6%.
If You elect fixed dollar Annuity payments,
the payments will be the guaranteed rates,
based on 2.5% or the current rates, if
higher.
VARIABLE ANNUITY PAYMENTS - 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 the
contract. The first monthly payment varies
according to the variable Annuity payment
option selected.
The first Annuity payment is payable on the
Annuity Commencement Date. The remaining
Annuity payments are computed and payable as
of the same day of the month as the Annuity
Commencement Date based on the elected
Annuity Payment Frequency.
The amount of the first variable Annuity
payment is divided by the Annuity Unit value
for Your selected Sub-Account(s) as of the
Annuity Commencement Date to determine the
number of Annuity Units underlying each
Annuity payment. This number of Annuity
Units remains fixed for the selected
Sub-Account during the Annuity payment
period. For each subsequent payment the
dollar amount of the Variable Annuity
payment is determined by multiplying the
fixed number of Annuity Units by the Annuity
Unit value.
If subsequent payment dates fall on a
non-Valuation Day (weekend or holiday), the
payment will be computed and payable as of
the prior Valuation Day. If the day of the
month elected does not occur in a given
month (29th, 30th, or 31st), the payments
will be computed and payable as of the last
Valuation Day of the month.
FIXED ANNUITY PAYMENTS - Fixed Annuity
payments are determined by multiplying the
value of the General Account by a rate to be
determined by Us, which is no less than the
rate specified in the Annuity Tables For
Fixed Payments in the contract. The fixed
Annuity payment will remain level for the
duration of the Annuity Option.

be made between the Sub-Account(s) and from
the Sub-Account(s) to the General Account.
No transfers are allowed from the General
Account to the Sub-Accounts. For limitation
and modification guidelines see "Transfers
Between Sub-Accounts."
MINIMUM PAYMENT
The first payment must be at least equal to
the minimum payment amount according to Our
rules then in effect. If at any time,
payments become less than the minimum
payment amount, We have the right to change
the payment frequency to meet the minimum
payment requirements. If any payment amount
is less than the minimum annual payment
amount, We may make an alternative
arrangement with You.

ANNUITY TABLES DESCRIPTION OF TABLES
The attached tables show the minimum dollar
amount of the first monthly payment for each
$1,000 applied to fixed dollar Annuity
payments, and the actual first monthly
payment for each $1,000 applied to variable
Annuity payments. Under the First and Second
Options, the amount of each payment will
depend upon the age and sex of the Annuitant
at the time the first payment is due. Under
the Fourth and Fifth Options, the amount of
the first payment will depend upon the sex
of both Annuitants and their ages at the
time the first payment is due.
Sex will not be used to determine the amount
of the Annuity payment if this contract is
issued to qualify under certain sections of
the Internal Revenue Code. If sex is used to
determine the amount of the Annuity payment,
the Annuity tables at the end of this
contract will provide rates of payment for
male Annuitants and female Annuitants.
The variable payment Annuity tables for the
First through Fifth Options are based on the
1983a Individual Annuity Mortality Table
projected to the year 2000 using Projection
Scale G and the Assumed Investment Return.
The table for the Sixth Option is based on
the Assumed Investment Return.
The fixed payment Annuity tables for the
First through Fifth Options are based on the
1983a Individual Annuity Mortality Table
projected to the year 2000 using Projection
Scale G and an interest rate of 2.5%. The
amount of the first payment will be based on
an age that is a specified number of years
younger than the Annuitant's then-attained
age. The age setback is as follows:
DATE OF FIRST PAYMENT AGE SETBACK
Prior to 2005 1 year
2005 - 2014 2 years
2015 - 2019 3 years
2020 - 2029 4 years
2030 - 2039 5 years
2040 or later 6 years
The table for the Sixth Option is based on
an interest rate of 2.5% per annum.

RE: HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY SEPARATE ACCOUNT ONE
INITIAL FILING
Dear Sir/Madam:
I have acted as General Counsel to Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance
Company (the "Company"), a Connecticut insurance company, and Hartford Life
and Annuity Insurance Company Separate Account One (the "Account") in
Connecticut with the registration of an indefinite amount of securities in
the form of flexible premium variable annuity insurance 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 to by the Insurance Department
of the State of Connecticut to issue the Contacts.
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/ Lynda Godkin
