(1) Length of time from premium payment.
(2) The Annual Contract Fee is a single $30 charge on a Contract. It is deducted
proportionally from the investment options in use at the time of the charge.
Pursuant to requirements of the 1940 Act, the Annual Contract Fee has been
reflected in the Examples by a method intended to show the "average" impact
of the Annual Contract Fee on an investment in the Separate Account. The
Annual Contract Fee is deducted only when the accumulated value is $50,000
or less. In the Example, the Annual Contract Fee is approximated as a 0.08%
annual asset charge based on the experience of the Contracts.
(3) On January 7, 1996, the trustees approved a proposal to change the fees
payable to Putnam Management under the Management contract for PCM Utilities
Growth and Income Fund. The proposed change is subject to shareholder
approval and will be submitted to shareholders at a meeting scheduled for
July 11, 1996. If the proposed change is approved by shareholders,
management fees for PCM Utilities Growth and Income Fund would thereafter be
paid at the following annual rates: 0.70% of the first $500 million of
average net assets, 0.60% of the next $500 million, 0.55% of the next $500
million, 0.50% of the next $5 billion, 0.44% of the next $5 billion, and
0.43% of any excess thereafter. The proposed change would result in an
increase in the fees payable by the Fund based on its net assets as of
December 31, 1995.
(4) The total expenses and management fees shown above for PCM Asia Pacific
Growth Fund reflect an expense limitation in effect for the period and are
not annualized. In the absence of the expense limitation in effect for the
period, annualized management fees and total expenses would have been 0.80%
and 1.70%, respectively.

SUMMARY
WHAT IS THE CONTRACT AND HOW MAY I PURCHASE ONE?
The Contract offered is a tax deferred Variable Annuity Contract (see
"Taxation of Annuities in General," page 23). Generally, the Contract is
purchased by completing an application or an order to purchase a Contract and
submitting it, along with the initial Premium Payments, to ITT Hartford for its
approval. The minimum initial Premium Payment is $1,000 with a minimum
allocation to any Fund of $500. Certain plans may make smaller initial and
subsequent periodic premium payments. Subsequent Premium Payments, if made, must
be a minimum of $500. Generally, a Contract Owner may exercise his right to
cancel the Contract within 10 days of delivery of the Contract by returning the
Contract to ITT Hartford at its home office. If the Contract Owner exercises his
right to cancel, ITT Hartford will return either the Contract Value or the
original Premium Payments to the Contract Owner. The duration of the right to
cancel period and ITT Hartford's obligation to either return the Contract Value
or the original Premium will depend on state law (See "Right to Cancel Period"
page 11.)
WHO MAY PURCHASE THE CONTRACT?
Any individual, group or trust may purchase the Contracts, including any
trustee or custodian for a retirement plan which qualifies for special Federal
tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, including individual retirement
annuities. (See "Federal Tax Considerations" commencing on page 23 and Appendix
I commencing on page 30.)
WHAT TYPES OF INVESTMENTS ARE AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT?
The underlying investments for the Contract are shares of Putnam Capital
Manager Trust, an open-end diversified series investment company with multiple
portfolios ("the Funds") as follows: PCM Asia Pacific Growth Fund, PCM
Diversified Income Fund, PCM Global Asset Allocation Fund, PCM Global Growth
Fund, PCM Growth and Income Fund, PCM High Yield Fund, PCM Money Market Fund,
PCM New Opportunities Fund, PCM U.S. Government and High Quality Bond Fund, PCM
Utilities Growth and Income Fund, PCM Voyager Fund, and such other Funds as
shall be offered from time to time, and the Fixed Account, or a combination of
the Funds and the Fixed Account. (See "The Funds" commencing on page 13 and "The
Fixed Account" commencing on page 12.)
WHAT ARE THE CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACTS?
SALES EXPENSES
There is no deduction for sales expenses from Premium Payments when made.
However, a contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed against Contract
Values when they are surrendered. (See "Contingent Deferred Sales Charges"
commencing on page 19.)
The length of time from receipt of a Premium Payment to the time of
surrender determines the contingent deferred sales charge. For this purpose,
Premium Payments will be deemed to be surrendered in the order in which they are
received and all surrenders will be first from Premium Payments and then from
other Contract values. The charge is a percentage of the amount withdrawn (not
to exceed the aggregate amount of the Premium Payments made). The charge is as
follows:

No contingent deferred sales charge will be assessed in the event of death
of the Annuitant or Contract Owner, or upon the exercise of the withdrawal
privilege or if Contract Values are applied to an Annuity option provided for
under the Contract (except that a surrender out of Annuity Option Four will be
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge where applicable). (See
"Contingent Deferred Sales Charges" commencing on page 19.)
FREE WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE.
Withdrawals of up to 10% per Contract Year, on a noncumulative basis, of the
Premium Payments made to a Contract may be made without the imposition of the
contingent deferred sales charge during the first seven Contract Years. (See
"Contingent Deferred Sales Charges" commencing on page 19.) Certain plans or
programs may have different withdrawal privileges.

For assuming the mortality and expense risks under the Contract, ITT
Hartford will impose a 1.25% per annum charge against all Contract Values held
in the Sub-Accounts, (see "Mortality and Expense Risk Charge," page 20).
ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE FEE
The Contract provides for administration and Contract maintenance charges.
For administration, the charge is .15% per annum against all Contract Values
held in the Separate Account. For Contract maintenance, the charge is $30
annually. (See "Administration and Maintenance Fees," page 20.) Contracts with a
Contract Value of $50,000 or more at time of Contract Anniversary will not be
assessed this charge.
PREMIUM TAXES
A deduction will be made for Premium Taxes for Contracts sold in certain
states. (See "Premium Taxes," page 21.)
CHARGES BY THE FUNDS
The Funds are subject to certain fees, charges and expenses. (See the
Prospectus for the Trust accompanying this Prospectus.)
CAN I GET MY MONEY IF I NEED IT?
Subject to any applicable charges, the Contract may be surrendered, or
portions of the value of such Contract may be withdrawn, at any time prior to
the Annuity Commencement Date. However, if less than $500 remains in a Contract
as a result of a withdrawal, ITT Hartford may terminate the Contract in its
entirety. (See "Redemption/Surrender of a Contract," page 17.)
DOES THE CONTRACT PAY ANY DEATH BENEFITS?
A Death Benefit is provided in the event of death of the Annuitant or
Contract Owner or Joint Contract Owner before Annuity payments have commenced.
(See "Death Benefit," page 18.)
WHAT ARE THE AVAILABLE ANNUITY OPTIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT?
There are five available Annuity options under the Contract which are
described on pages 21 and 22. The Annuity Commencement Date may not be deferred
beyond the Annuitant's 90th birthday except in certain states where the Annuity
Commencement Date may not be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 85th birthday. If a
Contract Owner does not elect otherwise, the Contract Value less applicable
premium taxes will be applied on the Annuity Commencement Date under the second
option to provide a life annuity with 120 monthly payments certain.
DOES THE CONTRACT OWNER HAVE ANY VOTING RIGHTS UNDER THE CONTRACT?
Contract Owners will have the right to vote on matters affecting an
underlying Fund to the extent that proxies are solicited by such Fund. If a
Contract Owner does not vote, ITT Hartford shall vote such interests in the same
proportion as shares of the Fund for which instructions have been received by
ITT Hartford. (See "Voting Rights," page 28.)

PERFORMANCE RELATED INFORMATION
The Separate Account may advertise certain performance related information
concerning its Sub-Accounts. Performance information about a Sub-Account is
based on the Sub-Account's past performance only and is no indication of future
performance.
PCM Asia Pacific Growth Fund, PCM Diversified Income Fund, PCM Global Asset
Allocation Fund, PCM Global Growth Fund, PCM Growth and Income Fund, PCM High
Yield Fund, PCM Money Market Fund, PCM New Opportunities Fund, PCM U.S.
Government and High Quality Bond Fund and PCM Voyager Fund Sub-Accounts may
include total return in advertisements or other sales material.
When a Sub-Account advertises its total return, it will usually be
calculated for one year, five years, and ten years or some other relevant
periods if the Sub-Account has not been in existence for at least ten years.
Total return is measured by comparing the value of an investment in the
Sub-Account at the beginning of the relevant period to the value of the
investment at the end of the period (assuming the deduction of any contingent
deferred sales charge which would be payable if the investment were redeemed at
the end of the period).
PCM Growth and Income Fund, PCM High Yield Fund and PCM U.S. Government and
High Quality Bond Fund Sub-Accounts may advertise yield in addition to total
return. The yield will be computed in the following manner: The net investment
income per unit earned during a recent one month period is divided by the unit
value on the last day of the period. This figure reflects the recurring charges
at the Separate Account level including the Contract Maintenance Fee.
PCM Money Market Fund Sub-Account may advertise yield and effective yield.
The yield of a Sub-Account is based upon the income earned by the Sub-Account
over a seven-day period and then annualized, i.e. the income earned in the
period is assumed to be earned every seven days over a 52-week period and stated
as a percentage of the investment. Effective yield is calculated similarly but
when annualized, the income earned by the investment is assumed to be reinvested
in Sub-Account units and thus compounded in the course of a 52-week period.
Yield reflects the recurring charges at the Separate Account level including the
Contract Maintenance Fee.
Total return at the Separate Account level includes all Contract charges:
sales charges, mortality and expense risk charges, and the Contract Maintenance
Fee, and is therefore lower than total return at the Fund level, with no
comparable charges. Likewise, yield at the Separate Account level includes all
recurring charges (except sales charges), and is therefore lower than yield at
the Fund level, with no comparable charges.
ITT Hartford may provide information on various topics to Contract Owners
and prospective Contract Owners in advertising, sales literature or other
materials. These topics may include the relationship between sectors of the
economy and the economy as a whole and its effect on various securities markets,
investment strategies and techniques (such as value investing, dollar cost
averaging and asset allocation), the advantages and disadvantages of investing
in tax-advantaged and taxable instruments, customer profiles and hypothetical
purchase scenarios, financial management and tax and retirement planning, and
other investment alternatives, including comparisons between the Contracts and
the characteristics of and market for such alternatives.
INTRODUCTION
This Prospectus has been designed to provide you with the necessary
information to make a decision on purchasing a tax deferred Variable Annuity
Contract offered by ITT Hartford and funded by the Fixed Account and/or a series
of the Separate Account. Please read the Glossary of Special Terms on pages 3
and 4 prior to reading this Prospectus to familiarize yourself with the terms
being used.
THE CONTRACT
The Putnam Capital Manager Plan is a tax deferred Variable Annuity Contract.
Payments for the Contract will be held in the Fixed Account and/or a series of
the Separate Account. Initially there are no deductions from your Premium
Payments (except for Premium Taxes, if applicable) so your entire Premium
Payment is put to
10
<PAGE>
work in the investment Sub-Account(s) of your choice or the Fixed Account. Each
Sub-Account invests in a different underlying Fund with its own distinct
investment objectives. You pick the Sub-Account(s) with the investment
objectives that meet your needs. You may select one or more Sub-Accounts and/or
the Fixed Account and determine the percentage of your Premium Payment that is
put into a Sub-Account or the Fixed Account. You may also transfer assets among
the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account so that your investment program meets
your specific needs over time. There are minimum requirements for investing in
each Sub-Account and the Fixed Account which are described later in this
Prospectus. In addition, there are certain other limitations on withdrawals and
transfers of amounts in the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account as described in
this prospectus. See "Charges Under the Contract" for a description of the
charges for redeeming a Contract and other charges made under the Contract.
Generally, the Contract contains the five optional forms of Annuity
described later in this Prospectus. Options 2, 4 and 5 are available with
respect to Qualified Contracts only if the guaranteed payment period is less
than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time the option becomes
effective. Such life expectancy shall be computed on the basis of the mortality
table prescribed by the IRS, or if none is prescribed, the mortality table then
in use by ITT Hartford.
The Contract Owner may select an Annuity Commencement Date and an Annuity
option which may be on a fixed or variable basis, or a combination thereof. The
Annuity Commencement Date may not be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 90th
birthday except in certain states where the Annuity Commencement Date may not be
deferred beyond the Annuitant's 85th birthday.
The Annuity Commencement Date and/or the Annuity option may be changed from
time to time, but any such change must be made at least 30 days prior to the
date on which payments are scheduled to begin. If you do not elect otherwise,
payments will begin at the Annuitant's age 90 under Option 2 with 120 monthly
payments certain (Option 1 for Contracts issued in Texas).
When an Annuity is effected under a Contract, unless otherwise specified,
Contract Values held in the Sub-Accounts will be applied to provide a Variable
Annuity based on the pro rata amount in the various Sub-Accounts. Fixed Account
Contract Values will be applied to provide a Fixed Annuity. Variable Annuity
payments will vary in accordance with the investment performance of the
Sub-Accounts you have selected. The Contract allows the Contract Owner to change
the Sub-Accounts on which variable payments are based after payments have
commenced once every three (3) months. Any Fixed Annuity allocation may not be
changed.
The Contract offered under this Prospectus may be purchased by any
individual ("Non-Qualified Contract") or by an individual, trustee or custodian
for a retirement plan qualified under Sections 401(a) or 403(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code; annuity purchase plans adopted by public school systems and
certain tax-exempt organizations according to Section 403(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code; Individual Retirement Annuities adopted according to Section 408
of the Internal Revenue Code; employee pension plans established for employees
by a state, a political subdivision of a state, or an agency or instrumentality
of either a state or a political subdivision of a state, and certain eligible
deferred compensation plans as defined in Section 457 of the Internal Revenue
Code ("Qualified Contracts").
RIGHT TO CANCEL PERIOD
If you are not satisfied with your purchase you may surrender the Contract
by returning it within ten days (or longer in some states) after you receive it.
A written request for cancellation must accompany the Contract. In such event,
ITT Hartford will, without deduction for any charges normally assessed
thereunder, pay you an amount equal to the Contract Value on the date of receipt
of the request for cancellation. You bear the investment risk during the period
prior to the Company's receipt of request for cancellation. ITT Hartford will
refund the premium paid only for individual retirement annuities (if returned
within seven days of receipt) and in those states where required by law.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account was established on May 20, 1991, in accordance with
authorization by the Board of Directors of ITT Hartford. It is the Separate
Account in which ITT Hartford sets aside and invests the assets attributable to
variable annuity Contracts, including the Contracts sold under this Prospectus.
Although the Separate Account is an integral part of ITT Hartford, it is
registered as a unit investment trust under the
11
<PAGE>
Investment Company Act of 1940. This registration does not, however, involve
supervision by the Commission of the management or the investment practices or
policies of the Separate Account or ITT Hartford. The Separate Account meets the
definition of "separate account" under federal securities law.
Under Connecticut law, the assets of the Separate Account attributable to
the Contracts offered under this Prospectus are held for the benefit of the
owners of, and the persons entitled to payments under, those Contracts. Income,
gains, and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to the
Separate Account, are, in accordance with the Contracts, credited to or charged
against the Separate Account. Also, the assets in the Separate Account are not
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business ITT Hartford may
conduct. So Contract Values allocated to the Sub-Accounts will not be affected
by the rate of return of ITT Hartford's General Account, nor by the investment
performance of any of ITT Hartford's other separate accounts. However, the
obligations arising under the Contracts are general obligations of ITT Hartford.
Your investment in the Separate Account is allocated to one or more
Sub-Accounts as per your specifications. Each Sub-Account is invested
exclusively in the shares of one underlying Fund. Net Premium Payments and
proceeds of transfers between Funds are applied to purchase shares in the
appropriate Fund at net asset value determined as of the end of the Valuation
Period during which the payments were received or the transfer made. All
distributions from the Funds are reinvested at net asset value. The value of
your investment will therefore vary in accordance with the net income and the
market value of the portfolios of the underlying Fund(s). During the Variable
Annuity payout period, both your Annuity payments and reserve values will vary
in accordance with these factors.
ITT Hartford does not guarantee the investment results of the Funds or any
of the underlying investments. There is no assurance that the value of a
Contract during the years prior to retirement or the aggregate amount of the
Variable Annuity payments will equal the total of Premium Payments made under
the Contract. Since each underlying Fund has different investment objectives and
policies, each is subject to different risks. These risks are more fully
described in the accompanying Trust Prospectus.
ITT Hartford reserves the right, subject to compliance with the law, to
substitute the shares of any other registered investment company for the shares
of any Fund held by the Separate Account. Substitution may occur only if shares
of the Fund(s) become unavailable or if there are changes in applicable law or
interpretations of law. Current law requires notification to you of any such
substitution and approval of the Commission.
The Separate Account may be subject to liabilities arising from a Series of
the Separate Account whose assets are attributable to other variable annuity
Contracts or variable life insurance policies offered by the Separate Account
which are not described in this Prospectus.
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
THAT PORTION OF THE CONTRACT RELATING TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 ("1933 ACT") AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS NOT
REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
("1940 ACT"). ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE FIXED ACCOUNT NOR ANY INTERESTS THEREIN
ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OR RESTRICTIONS OF THE 1933 ACT OR THE 1940 ACT,
AND THE DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE FIXED ACCOUNT HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY THE
STAFF OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURE ABOUT
THE FIXED ACCOUNT MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF
THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS REGARDING THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF
DISCLOSURE.
Premium Payments and Contract Values allocated to the Fixed Account become a
part of the general assets of ITT Hartford. ITT Hartford invests the assets of
the General Account in accordance with applicable laws governing investments of
Insurance Company General Accounts.
Currently, ITT Hartford guarantees that it will credit interest at a rate of
not less than 3% per year, compounded annually, to amounts allocated to the
Fixed Account under the Contracts. However, ITT Hartford reserves the right to
change the rate according to state insurance law. ITT Hartford may credit
interest at a rate in excess of 3% per year; however, ITT Hartford is not
obligated to credit any interest in excess of 3% per year. There is no specific
formula for the determination of excess interest credits. Some of the factors
that the Company may consider in determining whether to credit excess interest
to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account and amount thereof, are general
economic trends, rates of return currently available and anticipated
12
<PAGE>
on the Company's investments, regulatory and tax requirements and competitive
factors. ANY INTEREST CREDITED TO AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT IN
EXCESS OF 3% PER YEAR WILL BE DETERMINED IN THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE COMPANY.
THE OWNER ASSUMES THE RISK THAT INTEREST CREDITED TO FIXED ACCOUNT ALLOCATIONS
MAY NOT EXCEED THE MINIMUM GUARANTEE OF 3% FOR ANY GIVEN YEAR.
THE COMPANY
ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("ITT Hartford"), formerly
ITT Life Insurance Corporation, was originally incorporated under the laws of
Wisconsin on January 9, 1956. ITT Hartford was redomiciled to Connecticut on May
1, 1996. It is a stock life insurance company engaged in the business of writing
both individual and group life insurance and annuities in all states including
the District of Columbia, except New York. The offices of ITT Hartford are
located in Minneapolis, Minnesota; however, its mailing address is P.O. Box
5085, Hartford, Connecticut 06102-5085.
ITT Hartford is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance
Company. ITT Hartford is ultimately 100% owned by Hartford Fire Insurance
Company, one of the largest multiple lines insurance carriers in the United
States. On December 20, 1995, Hartford Fire Insurance Company became an
independent, publicly traded corporation.
ITT Hartford is rated A+ (superior) by A.M. Best and Company, Inc. on the
basis of its financial soundness and operating performance. ITT Hartford is
rated AA+ by both Standard & Poor's and Duff and Phelps on the basis of its
claims paying ability.
These ratings do not apply to the performance of the Separate Account.
However, the contractual obligations under this variable annuity are the general
corporate obligations of ITT Hartford. These ratings do apply to ITT Hartford's
ability to meet its insurance obligations under the Contract.
THE FUNDS
The underlying investment for the Contracts are shares of Putnam Capital
Manager Trust, an open-end diversified series investment company with multiple
portfolios ("Funds"). The underlying Funds corresponding to each Sub-Account and
their investment objectives are described below. ITT Hartford reserves the
right, subject to compliance with the law, to offer additional funds with
differing investment objectives. The Funds may not be available in all states.
PCM ASIA PACIFIC GROWTH FUND
Seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in securities of companies
located in Asia and in the Pacific Basin.
PCM DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND
Seeks high current income consistent with capital preservation by investing
in the following three sections of the fixed income securities markets: U.S.
Government Sector, High Yield Sector (which invests primarily in what are
commonly referred to as "junk bonds"), and International Sector. See the Special
Considerations for investments in high yield securities described in the Fund
prospectus.
PCM GLOBAL ASSET ALLOCATION FUND
Seeks a high level of long-term total return consistent with preservation of
capital by investing in U.S. equities, international equities, U.S. fixed income
securities, and international fixed income securities.
PCM GLOBAL GROWTH FUND
Seeks capital appreciation through a globally diversified common stock
portfolio.
13
<PAGE>
PCM GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
Seeks capital growth and current income by investing primarily in common
stocks that offer potential for capital growth, current income, or both.
PCM HIGH YIELD FUND
Seeks high current income by investing primarily in high-yielding,
lower-rated fixed income securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"),
constituting a diversified portfolio which Putnam Investment Management, Inc.
("Putnam Management") believes does not involve undue risk to income or
principal. Capital growth is a secondary objective when consistent with high
current income. See the special considerations for investments in high yield
securities described in the Fund prospectus.
PCM MONEY MARKET FUND
Seeks to achieve as high a level of current income as is consistent with
preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity by investing in
high-quality money market instruments.
PCM NEW OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing principally in common
stocks of companies in sectors of the economy which Putnam Management believes
possess above-average long-term growth potential.
PCM U.S. GOVERNMENT AND HIGH QUALITY BOND FUND
Seeks current income consistent with preservation of capital by investing
primarily in securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the
U.S. Government or by its agencies or instrumentalities and in other debt
obligations rated at least A by Standard & Poor's or Moody's or, if not rated,
determined by Putnam Management to be of comparable quality.
PCM UTILITIES GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
Seeks capital growth and current income by concentrating its investments in
securities issued by companies in the public utilities industries.
PCM VOYAGER FUND
Aggressively seeks capital appreciation primarily from a portfolio of common
stocks which Putnam Management believes have potential for capital appreciation
which is significantly greater than that of market averages.
PCM Asia Pacific Growth Fund, PCM Diversified Income Fund, PCM Global Growth
Fund, PCM Growth and Income Fund, PCM High Yield Fund, PCM Money Market Fund,
PCM New Opportunities Fund, PCM Utilities Growth and Income Fund, and PCM
Voyager Fund are generally managed in styles similar to other open-end
investment companies which are managed by Putnam Management and whose shares are
generally offered to the public. These other Putnam funds may, however, employ
different investment practices and may invest in securities different from those
in which their counterpart Funds invest, and consequently will not have
identical portfolios or experience identical investment results.
The Funds are available only to serve as the underlying investment for
variable annuity and variable life Contracts. A full description of the Funds,
their investment objectives, policies and restrictions, risks, charges and
expenses and other aspects of their operation is contained in the accompanying
Trust prospectus which should be read in conjunction with this prospectus before
investing, and in the Trust Statement of Additional Information which may be
ordered without charge from Putnam Investor Services, Inc.
It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for variable
annuity separate accounts and variable life insurance separate accounts to
invest in the Funds simultaneously. Although ITT Hartford and the Funds do not
currently foresee any such disadvantages either to variable annuity Contract
Owners or to variable life insurance Policy Owners, the Trust's Board of
Trustees would monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts
between such Contract Owners and Policy Owners and to determine what action, if
any, should be taken in response thereto. If the Board of Trustees of the Funds
were to conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life and
variable annuity separate accounts, the variable annuity Contract Owners would
not bear any expenses attendant upon establishment of such separate funds.
14
<PAGE>
Putnam Management, One Post Office Square, Boston, Massachusetts, 02109,
serves as the investment manager for the Funds. An affiliate, The Putnam
Advisory Company, Inc., manages domestic and foreign institutional accounts and
mutual funds. Another affiliate, Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company, provides
investment advice to institutional clients under its banking and fiduciary
policies. Putnam Management and its affiliates are wholly-owned subsidiaries of
Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., a publicly owned holding company whose
principal businesses are international insurance brokerage and employee benefit
consulting.
Subject to the general oversight of the Trustees of the Trust, Putnam
Management manages the Funds' portfolios in accordance with their stated
investment objectives and policies, makes investment decisions for the Funds,
places orders to purchase and sell securities on behalf of the Funds, and
administers the affairs of the Funds. For its services, the Funds pay Putnam
Management a quarterly fee. See the accompanying Trust prospectus for a more
complete description of Putnam Management and the respective fees of the Funds.
OPERATION OF THE CONTRACT/
ACCUMULATION PERIOD
PREMIUM PAYMENTS
The balance of each initial Premium Payment remaining after the deduction of
any applicable Premium Tax is credited to your Contract within two business days
of receipt of a properly completed application or an order to purchase a
Contract and the initial Premium Payment by ITT Hartford at its Home Office,
P.O. Box 5085, Hartford, CT 06102-5085. It will be credited to the
Sub-Account(s) and/or the Fixed Account in accordance with your election. If the
application or other information is incomplete when received, the balance of
each initial Premium Payment, after deduction of any applicable Premium Tax,
will be credited to the Sub-Account(s) or the Fixed Account within five business
days of receipt or the entire Premium Payment will be immediately returned
unless you have been informed of the delay and request that the Premium Payment
not be returned.
Subsequent Premium Payments are priced on the Valuation Day received by ITT
Hartford in its Home Office or other designated administrative offices.
The number of Accumulation Units in each Sub-Account to be credited to a
Contract will be determined by dividing the portion of the Premium Payment being
credited to each Sub-Account by the value of an Accumulation Unit in that
Sub-Account on that date.
The minimum initial Premium Payment is $1,000. Subsequent Premium Payments,
if made, must be a minimum of $500. Certain plans may make smaller initial and
subsequent periodic payments. Each Premium Payment may be split among the
various Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account subject to minimum amounts then in
effect.
VALUE OF ACCUMULATION UNITS
The Accumulation Unit value for each Sub-Account will vary to reflect the
investment experience of the applicable Fund and will be determined on each
Valuation Day by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value of the particular
Sub-Account on the preceding Valuation Day by a "Net Investment Factor" for that
Sub-Account for the Valuation Period then ended. The "Net Investment Factor" for
each of the Sub-Accounts is equal to the net asset value per share of the
corresponding Fund at the end of the Valuation Period (plus the per share amount
of any dividends or capital gains distributed by that Fund if the ex-dividend
date occurs in the Valuation Period then ended) divided by the net asset value
per share of the corresponding Fund at the beginning of the Valuation Period.
You should refer to the Trust prospectus which accompanies this prospectus for a
description of how the assets of each Fund are valued since each determination
has a direct bearing on the Accumulation Unit value of the Sub-Account and
therefore the value of a Contract. The Accumulation Unit value is affected by
the performance of the underlying Fund(s), expenses and deduction of the charges
described in this Prospectus.
The shares of the Fund are valued at net asset value on each Valuation Day.
A description of the valuation methods used in valuing Fund shares may be found
in the accompanying prospectus of the Trust.
15
<PAGE>
VALUE OF THE FIXED ACCOUNT
ITT Hartford will determine the value of the Fixed Account by crediting
interest to amounts allocated to the Fixed Account. The minimum Fixed Account
interest rate is 3%, compounded annually. ITT Hartford may credit a lower
minimum interest rate according to state law. ITT Hartford also may credit
interest at rates greater than the minimum Fixed Account interest rate.
VALUE OF THE CONTRACT
The value of the Sub-Account investments under your Contract at any time
prior to the commencement of Annuity payments can be determined by multiplying
the total number of Accumulation Units credited to your Contract in each
Sub-Account by the then current Accumulation Unit values for the applicable
Sub-Account. The value of the Fixed Account under your Contract will be the
amount allocated to the Fixed Account plus interest credited. You will be
advised at least semi-annually of the number of Accumulation Units credited to
each Sub-Account, the current Accumulation Unit values, the Fixed Account Value,
and the total value of your Contract.
TRANSFERS AMONG SUB-ACCOUNTS
You may transfer the values of your Sub-Account allocations from one or more
Sub-Accounts to another free of charge. However, ITT Hartford reserves the right
to limit the number of transfers to twelve (12) per Contract Year, with no two
(2) transfers occurring on consecutive Valuation Days. Transfers by telephone
may be made by calling (800) 521-0538. Telephone transfers may not be permitted
by some states for their residents who purchase variable annuities.
The policy of ITT Hartford and its agents and affiliates is that they will
not be responsible for losses resulting from acting upon telephone requests
reasonably believed to be genuine. ITT Hartford will employ reasonable
procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine;
otherwise, ITT Hartford may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or
fraudulent instructions. The procedures ITT Hartford follows for transactions
initiated by telephone include requirements that callers provide certain
information for identification purposes. All transfer instructions by telephone
are tape recorded.
ITT Hartford may permit the Contract Owner to preauthorize transfers among
Sub-Accounts and between the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account under certain
circumstances. Transfers between the Sub-Accounts may be made both before and
after Annuity payments commence (limited to once a quarter) provided that the
minimum allocation to any Sub-Account may not be less than $500. No minimum
balance is presently required in any Sub-Account.
The right to reallocate Contract Values between the Sub-Accounts is subject
to modification if ITT Hartford determines, in its sole discretion, that the
exercise of that right by one or more Contract Owners is, or would be, to the
disadvantage of other Contract Owners. Any modification could be applied to
transfers to or from some or all of the Sub-Accounts and could include, but not
be limited to, the requirement of a minimum time period between each transfer,
not accepting transfer requests of an agent acting under a power of attorney on
behalf of more than one Contract Owner, or limiting the dollar amount that may
be transferred between the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account by a Contract
Owner at any one time. Such restrictions may be applied in any manner reasonably
designed to prevent any use of the transfer right which is considered by ITT
Hartford to be to the disadvantage of other Contract Owners.
TRANSFERS BETWEEN THE FIXED ACCOUNT AND THE SUB-ACCOUNTS
Subject to the restrictions set forth above, transfers from the Fixed
Account into a Sub-Account may be made at any time during the Contract Year. The
maximum amount which may be transferred from the Fixed Account during any
Contract Year is the greater of 30% of the Fixed Account balance as of the last
Contract Anniversary or the greatest amount of any prior transfer from the Fixed
Account. If ITT Hartford permits preauthorized transfers from the Fixed Account
to the Sub-Accounts, this restriction is inapplicable. However, if any interest
rate is renewed at a rate at least one percentage point less than the previous
rate, the Contract Owner may elect to transfer up to 100% of the funds receiving
the reduced rate within sixty days of notification of the interest rate
decrease. Generally, transfers may not be made from any Sub-Account into the
Fixed Account for the six-month period following any transfer from the Fixed
Account into one or more of the Sub-Accounts. ITT Hartford reserves the right to
defer transfers from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the date of
request.

<PAGE>
REDEMPTION/SURRENDER OF A CONTRACT
At any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, you have the right,
subject to any IRS provisions applicable thereto, to surrender the value of the
Contract in whole or in part. Under any of the Annuity options excluding Options
4 and 5, no surrenders are permitted after Annuity payments commence. Only full
surrenders are allowed out of Option 4 and any such surrender will be subject to
contingent deferred sales charges, if applicable. Full or partial withdrawals
may be made from Option 5 at any time and contingent deferred sales charges will
not be applied.
FULL SURRENDERS. At any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date (and
after the Annuity Commencement Date with respect to values applied to Option 4),
the Contract Owner has the right to terminate the Contract. In such event, the
Termination Value of the Contract may be taken in the form of a lump sum cash
settlement. The Termination Value of the Contract is equal to the Contract Value
less any applicable Premium Taxes, the Contract Maintenance Fee, if applicable,
and any applicable contingent deferred sales charges. The Termination Value may
be more or less than the amount of the Premium Payments made to a Contract.
PARTIAL SURRENDERS. The Contract Owner may make a partial surrender of
Contract Values at any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date so long as
the amount surrendered is at least equal to the minimum amount rules then in
effect. Additionally, if the remaining Contract Value following a surrender is
less than $500 (and, for Texas Contracts, there were no Premium Payments made
during the preceding two Contract Years), ITT Hartford may terminate the
Contract and pay the Termination Value.
Certain plans or programs may have different withdrawal privileges. ITT
Hartford may permit the Contract Owner to preauthorize partial surrenders
subject to certain limitations then in effect.
THERE ARE CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON SECTION 403(B) TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES. AS
OF DECEMBER 31, 1988, ALL SECTION 403(B) ANNUITIES HAVE LIMITS ON FULL AND
PARTIAL SURRENDERS. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CONTRACT MADE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 1988
AND ANY INCREASES IN CASH VALUE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 1988 MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED
UNLESS THE CONTRACT OWNER/EMPLOYEE HAS A) ATTAINED AGE 59 1/2, B) TERMINATED
EMPLOYMENT, C) DIED, D) BECOME DISABLED OR E) EXPERIENCED FINANCIAL HARDSHIP.
DISTRIBUTIONS DUE TO FINANCIAL HARDSHIP OR SEPARATION FROM SERVICE MAY STILL
BE SUBJECT TO A PENALTY TAX OF 10%.
ITT HARTFORD WILL NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY IN DETERMINING WHETHER A
WITHDRAWAL IS PERMISSIBLE, WITH OR WITHOUT TAX PENALTY, IN ANY PARTICULAR
SITUATION; OR IN MONITORING WITHDRAWAL REQUESTS REGARDING PRE OR POST JANUARY 1,
1989 ACCOUNT VALUES.
ANY SUCH FULL OR PARTIAL SURRENDER DESCRIBED ABOVE MAY RESULT IN ADVERSE TAX
CONSEQUENCES TO THE CONTRACT OWNER. THE CONTRACT OWNER, THEREFORE, SHOULD
CONSULT WITH HIS TAX ADVISER BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY SUCH SURRENDER. (SEE
"FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS" COMMENCING ON PAGE 23.)
Payment on any request for a full or partial surrender from the Sub-Accounts
and/or the Fixed Account will be made as soon as possible and in any event no
later than seven days after the written request is received by ITT Hartford at
its Home Office, Attn: Individual Annuity Services, P.O. Box 5085, Hartford, CT
06102-5085. ITT Hartford may defer payment of any amounts from the Fixed Account
for up to six months from the date of the request for surrender. If ITT Hartford
defers payment for more than 30 days, ITT Hartford will pay interest of at least
3% per annum on the amount deferred. In requesting a partial withdrawal you
should specify the Fixed Account and/or the Sub-Account(s) from which the
partial withdrawal is to be taken. Otherwise, such withdrawal and any applicable
contingent deferred sales charges will be effected on a pro rata basis according
to the value in the Fixed Account and each Sub-Account under a Contract. Within
this context, the contingent deferred sales charges are taken from the Premium
Payments in the order in which they were received: from the earliest Premium
Payments to the latest Premium Payments. (See "Contingent Deferred Sales
Charges," page 19.)

DEATH BENEFIT
The Contracts provide that in the event the Annuitant dies before the
Annuity Commencement Date, the Contingent Annuitant will become the Annuitant.
If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date and either (a) there
is no designated Contingent Annuitant, (b) the Contingent Annuitant predeceases
the Annuitant, or (c) if any Contract Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement
Date, the Beneficiary as determined under the Contract Control Provisions, will
receive the Death Benefit as determined on the date of receipt of due proof of
death by ITT Hartford in its Home Office. With regard to Joint Contract Owners,
at the first death of a Joint Contract Owner prior to the Annuity Commencement
Date, the Beneficiary will be the surviving Contract Owner notwithstanding that
the beneficiary designation may be different.
GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT -- If, upon death prior to the Annuity Commencement
Date, the Annuitant or Contract Owner, as applicable, had not attained his 90th
birthday, the Beneficiary will receive the greatest of (a) the Contract Value
determined as of the day written proof of death of such person is received by
ITT Hartford, or (b) 100% of the total Premium Payments made to such Contract,
reduced by any prior surrenders, or (c) the Maximum Anniversary Value
immediately preceding the date of death. The Maximum Anniversary Value is equal
to the greatest Anniversary Value attained from the following:
As of the date of receipt of due proof of death, the Company will calculate
an Anniversary Value for each Contract Anniversary prior to the deceased's
attained age 81. The Anniversary Value is equal to the Contract Value on a
Contract Anniversary, increased by the dollar amount of any premium payment made
since that anniversary and reduced by the dollar amount of any partial
surrenders since that anniversary.
If the deceased, the Annuitant or Contract Owner, as applicable, had
attained age 90, then the Death Benefit will equal the Contract Value.
PAYMENT OF DEATH BENEFIT -- Death Benefit proceeds will remain invested in
the Separate Account in accordance with the allocation instructions given by the
Contract Owner until the proceeds are paid or ITT Hartford receives new
instructions from the Beneficiary. The Death Benefit may be taken in one sum,
payable within 7 days after the date Due Proof of Death is received, or under
any of the settlement options then being offered by the Company provided,
however, that: (a) in the event of the death of any Contract Owner prior to the
Annuity Commencement Date, the entire interest in the Contract will be
distributed within 5 years after the death of the Contract Owner, and (b) in the
event of the death of any Contract Owner or Annuitant which occurs on or after
the Annuity Commencement Date, any remaining interest in the Contract will be
paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect at the
time of death, or, if the benefit is payable over a period not extending beyond
the life expectancy of the Beneficiary or over the life of the Beneficiary, such
distribution must commence within one year of the date of death. The proceeds
due on the death may be applied to provide variable payments, fixed payments, or
a combination of variable and fixed payments. However, in the event of the
Contract Owner's death where the sole Beneficiary is the spouse of the Contract
Owner and the Annuitant or Contingent Annuitant is living, such spouse may
elect, in lieu of receiving the death benefit, to be treated as the Contract
Owner. The Contract Value and the Maximum Anniversary Value of Contract will be
unaffected by treating the spouse as the Contract Owner.
If the Contract is owned by a corporation or other non-individual, the Death
Benefit payable upon the death of the Annuitant prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date will be payable only as one sum or under the same settlement
options and in the same manner as if an individual Contract Owner died on the
date of the Annuitant's death.
There may be postponement in the payment of Death Benefits whenever (a) the
New York Stock Exchange is closed, except for holidays or weekends, or trading
on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the Securities and
Exchange Commission; (b) the Securities and Exchange Commission permits
postponement and so orders; or (c) the Securities and Exchange Commission
determines that an emergency exists making valuation of the amounts or disposal
of securities not reasonably practicable.
GROUP UNALLOCATED CONTRACTS -- For Group Unallocated Contracts ITT Hartford
requires that detailed accounting of cumulative purchase payments, cumulative
gross surrenders, and current Contract Value attached to each Plan Participant
be submitted on an annual basis by the Contract Owner. Failure to submit
accurate data satisfactory to ITT Hartford will give ITT Hartford the right to
terminate this extension of benefits.

<PAGE>
CHARGES UNDER THE CONTRACT
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES
There is no deduction for sales expenses from Premium Payments when made.
However, a contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed against Contract
Values when they are surrendered.
The length of time from receipt of a Premium Payment to the time of
surrender determines the contingent deferred sales charge. Premium payments will
be deemed to be surrendered in the order in which they were received.
DURING THE FIRST SEVEN CONTRACT YEARS
During the first seven Contract Years, all surrenders will be first from
Premium Payments and then from other Contract Values. If an amount equal to all
premium payments has been surrendered, a contingent deferred sales charge will
not be assessed against the surrender of the remaining Contract Value.
AFTER THE SEVENTH CONTRACT YEAR
After the seventh Contract Year, all surrenders will first be from earnings
and then from premium payments. A contingent deferred sales charge will not be
assessed against the surrender of earnings. If an amount equal to all earnings
has been surrendered, a contingent deferred sales charge will not be assessed
against premium payments received more than seven years prior to surrender, but
will be assessed against premium payments received less than seven years prior
to surrender.
The charge is a percentage of the amount withdrawn (not to exceed the
aggregate amount of the Premium Payments made) and equals:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
LENGTH OF TIME
CHARGE FROM PREMIUM PAYMENT
------ --------------------
(NUMBER OF YEARS)
<C> <S>
6% 1
6% 2
5% 3
5% 4
4% 5
3% 6
2% 7
0% 8 or more
</TABLE>
The contingent deferred sales charges are used to cover expenses relating to
the sale and distribution of the Contracts, including commissions paid to any
distribution organization and its sales personnel, the cost of preparing sales
literature and other promotional activities. To the extent that these charges do
not cover such distribution expenses, the expenses will be borne by ITT Hartford
from its general assets, including surplus. The surplus might include profits
resulting from unused mortality and expense risk charges.
During the first seven Contract Years, on a non-cumulative basis, a Contract
Owner may make a partial surrender of Contract Values of up to 10% of the
aggregate Premium Payments made to the Contract (as determined on the date of
the requested withdrawal) without the application of the contingent deferred
sales charge. After the seventh Contract Year, the Contract Owner may make a
partial surrender of 10% of premium payments made during the seven years prior
to the surrender and 100% of the Contract Value less the premium payments made
during the seven years prior to the surrender. The amounts not subject to sales
charges are known as the Annual Withdrawal Amount. The Annual Withdrawal Amount
is the amount which can be withdrawn in any Contract Year prior to incurring
surrender charges. An Extended Withdrawal Privilege rider allows an Annuitant
who attains age 70 1/2 under a Qualified Plan to withdraw an amount in excess of
the Annual Withdrawal Amount to comply with IRS minimum distribution rules.
The contingent deferred sales charges which cover expenses relating to the
sale and distribution of the Contracts may be reduced for certain sales of the
Contracts under circumstances which may result in savings of such sales and
distribution expenses. Therefore, the contingent deferred sales charges may be
reduced if
19
<PAGE>
the Contracts are sold to certain employee and professional groups. In addition,
there may be other circumstances of which ITT Hartford is not presently aware
which could result in reduced sales or distribution expenses. Reductions in
these charges will not be unfairly discriminatory against any Contract Owner.
ITT Hartford may offer certain employer sponsored savings plans, in its
discretion reduced fees and charges including, but not limited to, the
contingent deferred sales charges, the mortality and expense risk charge and the
maintenance fee for certain sales under circumstances which may result in
savings of certain costs and expenses. Reductions in these fees and charges will
not be unfairly discriminatory against any Contract Owner.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
Although Variable Annuity payments made under the Contracts will vary in
accordance with the investment performance of the underlying Fund shares held in
the Sub-Account(s), the payments will not be affected by (a) ITT Hartford's
actual mortality experience among Annuitants before or after the Annuity
Commencement Date or (b) ITT Hartford's actual expenses, if greater than the
deductions provided for in the Contracts because of the expense and mortality
undertakings by ITT Hartford.
For assuming these risks under the Contracts, ITT Hartford will make a daily
charge at the rate of 1.25% per annum against all Contract Values held in the
Sub-Accounts during the life of the Contract, including the payout period,
(estimated at .90% for mortality and .35% for expense).
The mortality undertaking provided by ITT Hartford under the Contracts,
assuming the selection of one of the forms of life Annuities, is to make monthly
Annuity payments (determined in accordance with the 1983a Individual Annuity
Mortality Table and other provisions contained in the Contract) to Annuitants
regardless of how long an Annuitant may live, and regardless of how long all
Annuitants as a group may live. ITT Hartford also assumes the liability for
payment of a minimum Death Benefit under the Contract.
The mortality undertakings are based on ITT Hartford's determination of
expected mortality rates among all Annuitants. If actual experience among
Annuitants during the Annuity payment period deviates from ITT Hartford's
actuarial determination of expected mortality rates among Annuitants because, as
a group, their longevity is longer than anticipated, ITT Hartford must provide
amounts from its general funds to fulfill its Contract obligations. ITT Hartford
will bear the loss in such a situation. Also, in the event of the death of an
Annuitant or Contract Owner before the commencement of Annuity payments,
whichever is earlier, ITT Hartford can, in periods of declining value,
experience a loss resulting from the assumption of the mortality risk relative
to the minimum death benefit.
In providing an expense undertaking, ITT Hartford assumes the risk that the
contingent deferred sales charges and the Administration and Maintenance Fees
for maintaining the Contracts prior to the Annuity Commencement Date may be
insufficient to cover the actual cost of providing such items.
ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE FEES
ITT Hartford will deduct certain fees from Contract Values to reimburse it
for expenses relating to the administration and maintenance of the Contract and
the Fixed Account. For Contract maintenance, ITT Hartford will deduct an annual
fee of $30 on each Contract Anniversary on or before the Annuity Commencement
Date. The deduction will be made pro rata according to the value in each
Sub-Account and the Fixed Account under a Contract. If during a Contract Year
the Contract is surrendered for its full value, ITT Hartford will deduct the
Contract Maintenance Fee at the time of such surrender. For administration, ITT
Hartford makes a daily charge at the rate of .15% per annum against all Contract
Values held in the Separate Account during both the accumulation and annuity
phases of the Contract. There is not necessarily a relationship between the
amount of administrative charge imposed on a given Contract and the amount of
expenses that may be attributable to that Contract; expenses may be more or less
than the charge.
The types of expenses incurred by the Separate Account include, but are not
limited to, expenses of issuing the Contract and expenses for confirmations,
Contract quarterly statements, processing of transfers and surrenders,
responding to Contract Owner inquiries, reconciling and depositing cash
receipts, calculation and monitoring daily Sub-Account unit values, Separate
Account reporting, including semi-annual and annual reports and mailing and
tabulation of shareholder proxy solicitations.
You should refer to the Trust prospectus for a description of deductions and
expenses paid out of the assets of the Trust's portfolios.
20
<PAGE>
PREMIUM TAXES
A deduction is also made for Premium Tax, if applicable, imposed by a state
or other governmental entity. Certain states impose a Premium Tax, currently
ranging up to 3.5%. Some states assess the tax at the time purchase payments are
made; others assess the tax at the time of annuitization. ITT Hartford will pay
Premium Taxes at the time imposed under applicable law. At its sole discretion,
ITT Hartford may deduct Premium Taxes at the time ITT Hartford pays such taxes
to the applicable taxing authorities, at the time the Contract is surrendered,
or at the time the Contract annuitizes.
ANNUITY BENEFITS
You select an Annuity Commencement Date and an Annuity option which may be
on a fixed or variable basis, or a combination thereof. The Annuity Commencement
Date will not be deferred beyond the Annuitant's 90th birthday except for
certain states where deferral past age 85 is not permitted. The Annuity
Commencement Date and/or the Annuity option may be changed from time to time,
but any change must be at least 30 days prior to the date on which Annuity
payments are scheduled to begin. The Contract allows the Contract Owner to
change the Sub-Accounts on which variable payments are based after payments have
commenced once every three (3) months. Any Fixed Annuity allocation may not be
changed.
ANNUITY OPTIONS
The Contract contains the five optional Annuity forms described below.
Options 2, 4 and 5 are available to Qualified Contracts only if the guaranteed
payment period is less than the life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time the
option becomes effective. Such life expectancy shall be computed on the basis of
the mortality table prescribed by the IRS, or if none is prescribed, the
mortality table then in use by ITT Hartford. With respect to Non-Qualified
Contracts, if you do not elect otherwise, payments in most states will
automatically begin at the Annuitant's age 90 (with the exception of states that
do not allow deferral past age 85) under Option 2 with 120 monthly payments
certain. For Qualified Contracts and Contracts issued in Texas, if you do not
elect otherwise, payments will begin automatically at the Annuitant's age 90
under Option 1 to provide a life Annuity.
Under any of the Annuity options excluding Options 4 and 5, no surrenders
are permitted after Annuity payments commence. Only full surrenders are allowed
out of Option 4 and any such surrender will be subject to contingent deferred
sales charges, if applicable. Full or partial withdrawals may be made from
Option 5 at any time and contingent deferred sales charges will not be applied.
OPTION 1: LIFE ANNUITY
A life Annuity is an Annuity payable during the lifetime of the Annuitant
and terminating with the last payment preceding the death of the Annuitant. This
option offers the largest payment amount of any of the life Annuity options
since there is no guarantee of a minimum number of payments nor a provision for
a death benefit payable to a Beneficiary.
It would be possible under this option for an Annuitant to receive only one
Annuity payment if he died prior to the due date of the second Annuity payment,
two if he died before the date of the third Annuity payment, etc.
OPTION 2: LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120, 180 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN
This Annuity option is an Annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of an
Annuitant with the provision that payments will be made for a minimum of 120,
180 or 240 months, as elected. If, at the death of the Annuitant, payments have
been made for less than the minimum elected number of months, then the present
value as of the date of the Annuitant's death, of any remaining guaranteed
payments will be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries designated
unless other provisions have been made and approved by ITT Hartford.
OPTION 3: JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY
An Annuity payable monthly during the joint lifetime of the Annuitant and a
designated second person, and thereafter during the remaining lifetime of the
survivor, ceasing with the last payment prior to the death of the survivor.
Based on the options currently offered by ITT Hartford, the Annuitant may elect
that the payment to the survivor be less than the payment made during the joint
lifetime of the Annuitant and a designated second person.
21
<PAGE>
It would be possible under this option for an Annuitant and designated
second person to receive only one payment in the event of the common or
simultaneous death of the parties prior to the due date for the second payment
and so on.
OPTION 4: PAYMENTS FOR A DESIGNATED PERIOD
An amount payable monthly for the number of years selected which may be from
5 to 30 years. Under this option, you may, at any time, surrender the Contract
and receive, within seven days, the Termination Value of the Contract as
determined by ITT Hartford.
In the event of the Annuitant's death prior to the end of the designated
period, the present value as of the date of the Annuitant's death, of any
remaining guaranteed payments will be paid in one sum to the Beneficiary or
Beneficiaries designated unless other provisions have been made and approved by
ITT Hartford.
Option 4 is an option that does not involve life contingencies and thus no
mortality guarantee. Charges made for the mortality undertaking under the
Contracts thus provide no real benefit to a Contract Owner.
OPTION 5: DEATH BENEFIT REMAINING WITH ITT HARTFORD
Proceeds from the Death Benefit may be left with ITT Hartford for a period
not to exceed five years from the date of the Contract Owner's death prior to
the Annuity Commencement Date. These proceeds will remain in the Sub-Account(s)
to which they were allocated at the time of death unless the Beneficiary elects
to reallocate them. Full or partial withdrawals may be made at any time. In the
event of withdrawals, the remaining value will equal the Contract Value of the
proceeds left with ITT Hartford, minus any withdrawals.
ITT Hartford may offer other annuity options from time to time.
THE ANNUITY UNIT AND VALUATION
The value of the Annuity Unit for each Sub-Account in the Separate Account
for any day is determined by multiplying the value for the preceding day by the
product of (1) the net investment factor (see "Valuation of Accumulation Units,"
commencing on page 15) for the day for which the Annuity Unit value is being
calculated and (2) a factor to neutralize the assumed investment rate of 5.00%
per annum discussed below.
DETERMINATION OF PAYMENT AMOUNT
When Annuity payments are to commence, the value of the Contract is
determined as the sum of the value of the Fixed Account no earlier than the
close of business on the fifth Valuation Day preceding the date the first
Annuity payment is due plus the product of the value of the Accumulation Unit of
each Sub-Account on that same day, and the number of Accumulation Units credited
to each Sub-Account as of the date the Annuity is to commence.
The Contract contains tables indicating the minimum dollar amount of the
first monthly payment under the optional forms of Annuity for each $1,000 of
value of a Sub-Account under a Contract. The first monthly payment varies
according to the form and type of Annuity selected. The Contract contains
Annuity tables derived from the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality Table with
ages set back one year and with an assumed investment rate ("A.I.R.") of 3% per
annum for the Fixed Annuity and 5% per annum for the Variable Annuity.
The total first monthly Variable Annuity payment is determined by
multiplying the value (expressed in thousands of dollars) of a Sub-Account (less
any applicable Premium Taxes) by the amount of the first monthly payment per
$1,000 of value obtained from the tables in the Contracts.
Fixed Annuity payments are determined at annuitization by multiplying the
values allocated to the Fixed Account (less applicable Premium Taxes) by a rate
to be determined by ITT Hartford which is no less than the rate specified in the
Annuity tables in the Contract. The Annuity payment will remain level for the
duration of the Annuity.
The amount of the first monthly Variable Annuity payment, determined as
described above, is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit for the appropriate
Sub-Account no earlier than the close of business on the fifth Valuation Day
preceding the day on which the payment is due in order to determine the number
of Annuity Units represented by the first payment. This number of Annuity Units
remains fixed during the Annuity payment period, and in each subsequent month
the dollar amount of the Variable Annuity payment is determined by multiplying
this fixed number of Annuity Units by the then current Annuity Unit value.
22
<PAGE>
THE A.I.R. ASSUMED IN THE MORTALITY TABLES WOULD PRODUCE LEVEL VARIABLE
ANNUITY PAYMENTS IF THE INVESTMENT RATE REMAINED CONSTANT. IN FACT, PAYMENTS
WILL VARY UP OR DOWN AS THE INVESTMENT RATE VARIES UP OR DOWN FROM THE A.I.R.
The Annuity Unit value used in calculating the amount of the Variable
Annuity payments will be based on an Annuity Unit value determined as of the
close of business on a day no earlier than the fifth Valuation Day preceding the
date of the Annuity payment.
FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES WHICH AFFECT THESE CONTRACTS?
A. GENERAL
SINCE THE TAX LAW IS COMPLEX AND SINCE TAX CONSEQUENCES WILL VARY ACCORDING
TO THE ACTUAL STATUS OF THE CONTRACT OWNER INVOLVED AND THE TYPE OF PLAN UNDER
WHICH THE CONTRACT IS PURCHASED, LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE MAY BE NEEDED BY A PERSON,
TRUSTEE OR OTHER ENTITY CONTEMPLATING THE PURCHASE OF A CONTRACT DESCRIBED
HEREIN.
It should be understood that any detailed description of the Federal income
tax consequences regarding the purchase of these Contracts cannot be made in
this Prospectus and that special tax rules may be applicable with respect to
certain purchase situations not discussed herein. In addition, no attempt is
made here to consider any applicable state or other tax laws. For detailed
information, a qualified tax adviser should always be consulted. The discussion
here and in Appendix I, commencing on page 30, is based on ITT Hartford's
understanding of current Federal income tax laws as they are currently
interpreted.
B. TAXATION OF ITT HARTFORD AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Separate Account is taxed as part of ITT Hartford which is taxed as a
life insurance company in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"). Accordingly, the Separate Account will not be taxed as a "regulated
investment company" under subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code. Investment
income and any realized capital gains on the assets of the Separate Account are
reinvested and are taken into account in determining the value of the
Accumulation and Annuity Units (See "Value of Accumulation Units" commencing on
page 15). As a result, such investment income and realized capital gains are
automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contract.
No taxes are due on interest, dividends and short-term or long-term capital
gains earned by the Separate Account with respect to Qualified or Non-Qualified
Contracts.
C. TAXATION OF ANNUITIES -- GENERAL PROVISIONS AFFECTING PURCHASERS OTHER THAN
QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLANS
Section 72 of the Internal Revenue Code governs the taxation of annuities
in general.
1. NON-NATURAL PERSONS, CORPORATIONS, ETC. Section 72 contains provisions
for Contract Owners which are non-natural persons. Non-natural persons
include corporations, trusts, and partnerships. The annual net increase
in the value of the Contract is currently includable in the gross income
of a non-natural person unless the non-natural person holds the Contract
as an agent for a natural person. There is an exception from current
inclusion for certain annuities held by structured settlement companies,
certain annuities held by an employer with respect to a terminated
qualified retirement plan and certain immediate annuities. A non-natural
person which is a tax-exempt entity for Federal tax purposes will not be
subject to income tax as a result of this provision.
If the Contract Owner is not an individual, the primary Annuitant shall
be treated as the Contract Owner for purposes of making distributions
which are required to be made upon the death of the Contract Owner. If
there is a change in the primary Annuitant, such change shall be treated
as the death of the Contract Owner.
23
<PAGE>
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).
24
<PAGE>
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. ITT 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.
ii. The 10% penalty tax will not apply to the following
distributions (exceptions vary based upon the precise plan
involved):
1. Distributions made on or after the date the recipient has
attained the age of 59 1/2.
2. Distributions made on or after the death of the holder or
where the holder is not an individual, the death of the
primary annuitant.
3. Distributions attributable to a recipient's becoming disabled.
4. A distribution that is part of a scheduled series of
substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life
expectancy) of the recipient (or the joint lives or life
expectancies of the recipient and the recipient's
Beneficiary).
5. Distributions of amounts which are allocable to the
"investment in the contract" prior to August 14, 1982 (see
next subparagraph e).
e. SPECIAL PROVISIONS AFFECTING CONTRACTS OBTAINED THROUGH A TAX-FREE
EXCHANGE OF OTHER ANNUITY OR LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS PURCHASED PRIOR
TO AUGUST 14, 1982. If the Contract was obtained by a tax-free
exchange of a life insurance or annuity Contract purchased prior to
August 14, 1982, then any amount received or deemed received prior to
the Annuity Commencement Date shall be deemed to come (1) first from
the amount of the "investment in the contract" prior to August 14,
1982 ("pre-8/14/82 investment") carried over from the prior Contract,
(2) then from the portion of the "income on the contract" (carried
over to, as well as accumulating in, the successor Contract) that is
attributable to such pre-8/14/82 investment, (3) then from the
remaining "income on the contract" and (4) last from the remaining
"investment in the contract." As a result, to the extent that such
amount received or deemed received does not exceed such pre-8/14/82
investment, such amount is not includable in gross income., In
addition, to the extent that such amount received or deemed received
does not exceed the sum of (a) such pre-8/14/82 investment and (b)
the "income on the contract" attributable thereto, such amount is not
subject to the 10% penalty tax. In all other respects, amounts
received or deemed received from such post-exchange Contracts are
generally subject to the rules described in this subparagraph 3.
25
<PAGE>
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 and payments
must begin within a year of the death.
iii. Spouse Beneficiary
If any portion of the interest of a Contract Owner is payable to
or for the benefit of his or her spouse, and the Annuitant or
Contingent Annuitant is living, such spouse shall be treated as
the Contract Owner of such portion for purposes of section i.
above.
3. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. Section 817 of the Code provides that a
variable annuity contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for
any period during which the investments made by the separate account or
underlying fund are not adequately diversified in accordance with
regulations prescribed by the Treasury Department. If a Contract is not
treated as an annuity contract, the Contract Owner will be subject to
income tax on the annual increases in cash value.
The Treasury Department has issued diversification regulations which
generally require, among other things, that no more than 55% of the
value of the total assets of the segregated asset account underlying a
variable contract is represented by any one investment, no more than 70%
is represented by any two investments, no more than 80% is represented
by any three investments, and no more than 90% is represented by any
four investments. In determining whether the diversification standards
are met, all securities of the same issuer, all interests in the same
real property project, and all interests in the same commodity are each
treated as a single investment. In addition, in the case of government
securities, each government agency or instrumentality shall be treated
as a separate issuer.
A separate account must be in compliance with the diversification
standards on the last day of each calendar quarter or within 30 days
after the quarter ends. If an insurance company inadvertently fails to
meet the diversification requirements, the company may comply within a
reasonable period and avoid the taxation of contract income on an
ongoing basis. However, either the company or the Contract Owner must
agree to pay the tax due for the period during which the diversification
requirements were not met.
ITT Hartford monitors the diversification of investments in the separate
accounts and tests for diversification as required by the Code. ITT
Hartford intends to administer all contracts subject to the
diversification requirements in a manner that will maintain adequate
diversification.

4. OWNERSHIP OF THE ASSETS IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. In order for a variable
annuity contract to qualify for tax deferral, assets in the segregated
asset accounts supporting the variable contract must be considered to be
owned by the insurance company and not by the variable contract owner.
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has issued several rulings which
discuss investor control. The IRS has ruled that incidents of ownership
by the contract owner, such as the ability to select and control
investments in a separate account, will cause the contract owner to be
treated as the owner of the assets for tax purposes.
Further, in the explanation to the temporary Section 817 diversification
regulations, the Treasury Department noted that the temporary
regulations "do not provide guidance concerning the circumstances in
which investor control of the investments of a segregated asset account
may cause the investor, rather than the insurance company, to be treated
as the owner of the assets in the account." The explanation further
indicates that "the temporary regulations provide that in appropriate
cases a segregated asset account may include multiple sub-accounts, but
do not specify the extent to which policyholders may direct their
investments to particular sub-accounts without being treated as the
owners of the underlying assets. Guidance on this and other issues will
be provided in regulations or revenue rulings under Section 817(d),
relating to the definition of variable contract." The final regulations
issued under Section 817 did not provide guidance regarding investor
control, and as of the date of this prospectus, no other such guidance
has been issued. Further, ITT Hartford does not know if or in what form
such guidance will be issued. In addition, although regulations are
generally issued with prospective effect, it is possible that
regulations may be issued with retroactive effect. Due to the lack of
specific guidance regarding the issue of investor control, there is
necessarily some uncertainty regarding whether a Contract Owner could be
considered the owner of the assets for tax purposes. ITT Hartford
reserves the right to modify the contracts, as necessary, to prevent
Contract Owners from being considered the owners of the assets in the
separate accounts.
D. FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
The portion of a distribution which is taxable income to the recipient will
be subject to Federal income tax withholding, pursuant to Section 3405 of the
Code. The application of this provision is summarized below:
1. NON-PERIODIC DISTRIBUTIONS. The portion of a non-periodic distribution
which constitutes taxable income will be subject to Federal income tax
withholding unless the recipient elects not to have taxes withheld. If
an election not to have taxes withheld is not provided, 10% of the
taxable distribution will be withheld as Federal income tax. Election
forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested. If the
necessary election forms are not submitted to ITT Hartford, ITT 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 commencing on page 30 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 advisor
regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation with respect to an annuity purchase.

GENERAL MATTERS
ASSIGNMENT
Ownership of a Contract described herein is generally assignable. However,
if the Contracts are issued pursuant to some form of Qualified Retirement Plan,
it is possible that the ownership of the Contracts may not be transferred or
assigned depending on the type of qualified retirement plan involved. An
assignment of a Non-Qualified Contract may subject the assignment proceeds to
income taxes and certain penalty taxes. (See "Taxation of Annuities in General
- -- Non-Tax Qualified Purchasers," page 23.)
MODIFICATION
ITT Hartford reserves the right to modify the Contract, but only if such
modification: (i) is necessary to make the Contract or the Separate Account
comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which ITT
Hartford is subject; or (ii) is necessary to assure continued qualification of
the Contract under the Code or other federal or state laws relating to
retirement annuities or annuity Contracts; or (iii) is necessary to reflect a
change in the operation of the Separate Account or the Sub-Account(s) or (iv)
provides additional Separate Account options or (v) withdraws Separate Account
options. In the event of any such modification ITT Hartford will provide notice
to the Contract Owner or to the payee(s) during the Annuity period. ITT Hartford
may also make appropriate endorsement in the Contract to reflect such
modification.
DELAY OF PAYMENTS
There may be postponement of a surrender payment or death benefit whenever
(a) the New York Stock Exchange is closed, except for holidays or weekends, or
trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the
Commission; (b) the Commission permits postponement and so orders; or (c) the
Commission determines that an emergency exists making valuation or disposal of
securities not reasonably practicable.
VOTING RIGHTS
ITT Hartford is the legal owner of all Fund shares held in the Separate
Account. As the owner, ITT Hartford has the right to vote at the Funds'
shareholder meetings. However, to the extent required by federal securities laws
or regulations, ITT Hartford will:
1. Vote all Fund shares attributable to a Contract according to
instructions received from the Contract Owner, and
2. Vote shares attributable to a Contract for which no voting
instructions are received in the same proportion as shares for which
instructions are received.
If any federal securities laws or regulations, or their present
interpretation change to permit ITT Hartford to vote Fund shares in its own
right, ITT Hartford may elect to do so.
ITT Hartford will notify you of any Fund shareholders' meeting if the shares
held for your account may be voted at such meetings. ITT Hartford will also send
proxy materials and a form of instruction by means of which you can instruct ITT
Hartford with respect to the voting of the Fund shares held for your account.
In connection with the voting of Fund shares held by it, ITT Hartford will
arrange for the handling and tallying of voting instructions received from
Contract Owners. ITT Hartford as such, shall have no right, except as
hereinafter provided, to vote any Fund shares held by it hereunder which may be
registered in its name or the names of its nominees. ITT Hartford will, however,
vote the Fund shares held by it in accordance with the instructions received
from the Contract Owners for whose accounts the Fund shares are held. If a
Contract Owner desires to attend any meeting at which shares held for the
Contract Owner's benefit may be voted, the Contract Owner may request ITT
Hartford to furnish a proxy or otherwise arrange for the exercise of voting
rights with respect to the Fund shares held for such Contract Owner's account.
In the event that the Contract Owner gives no instructions or leaves the manner
of voting discretionary, ITT Hartford will vote such shares of the appropriate
Fund in the same proportion as shares of that Fund for which instructions have
been received. During the Annuity period under a Contract the number of votes
will decrease as the assets held to Fund Annuity benefits decrease.

APPENDIX I
INFORMATION REGARDING
TAX-QUALIFIED PLANS
The tax rules applicable to tax qualified contract owners, including
restrictions on contributions and distributions, taxation of distributions and
tax penalties, vary according to the type of plan as well as the terms and
conditions of the plan itself. Various tax penalties may apply to contributions
in excess of specified limits, to distributions in excess of specified limits,
distributions which do not satisfy certain requirements and certain other
transactions with respect to qualified plans. Accordingly, this summary provides
only general information about the tax rules associated with use of the Contract
by a qualified plan. Contract owners, plan participants and beneficiaries are
cautioned that the rights and benefits of any person to benefits are controlled
by the terms and conditions of the plan regardless of the terms and conditions
of the Contract. Some qualified plans are subject to distribution and other
requirements which are not incorporated into ITT Hartford's administrative
procedures. Owners, participants and beneficiaries are responsible for
determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions comply with
applicable law. Because of the complexity of these rules, owners, participants
and beneficiaries are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors as to
specific tax consequences.
A. QUALIFIED PENSION PLANS
Provisions of the Code permit eligible employers to establish pension or
profit sharing plans (described in Section 401(a) and 401(k), if applicable, and
exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code), and Simplified Employee
Pension Plans (described in Section 408(k)). Such plans are subject to
limitations on the amount that may be contributed, the persons who may be
eligible and the time when distributions must commence. Corporate employers
intending to use these contracts in connection with such plans should seek
competent advice.
B. TAX SHELTERED ANNUITIES UNDER SECTION 403(B)
Section 403(b) of the Code permits public school employees and employees of
certain types of charitable, educational and scientific organizations specified
in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code to purchase annuity contracts, and, subject to
certain limitations, exclude such contributions from gross income. Generally,
such contributions may not exceed the lesser of $9,500 or 20% of the employees
"includable compensation" for his most recent full year of employment, subject
to other adjustments. Special provisions may allow some employees to elect a
different overall limitation.
Tax-sheltered annuity programs under Section 403(b) are subject to a
PROHIBITION AGAINST DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE CONTRACT ATTRIBUTABLE TO
CONTRIBUTIONS MADE PURSUANT TO A SALARY REDUCTION AGREEMENT unless such
distribution is made:
(1) after the participating employee attains age 59 1/2;
(2) upon separation from service;
(3) upon death or disability, or
(4) in the case of hardship.
The above restrictions apply to distributions of employee contributions made
after December 31, 1988, earnings on those contributions, and earnings on
amounts attributable to employee contributions held as of December 31, 1988.
They do not apply to distributions of any employer or other after-tax
contributions, employee contributions made on or before December 31, 1988, and
earnings credited to employee contributions before December 31, 1988.
C. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS UNDER SECTION 457
Employees and independent contractors performing services for such employers
may contribute on a before tax basis to the Deferred Compensation Plan of their
employer in accordance with the employer's plan and Section 457 of the Code.
Section 457 places limitations on contributions to Deferred Compensation Plans
maintained by a State ("State" means a State, a political sub-division of a
State, and an agency or instrumentality of a State or political sub-division of
a State) or other tax-exempt organization. Generally, the limitation is
30
<PAGE>
33 1/3% of includable compensation (25% of gross compensation) or $7,500,
whichever is less. The plan may also provide for additional "catch-up" deferrals
during the three taxable years ending before a Participant attains normal
retirement age.
An employee electing to participate in a plan should understand that his
rights and benefits are governed strictly by the terms of the plan, that the
employer is legal owner of any contract issued with respect to the plan and that
deferred amounts will be subject to the claims of the employer's creditors. The
employer as owner of the contract(s) retains all voting and redemption rights
which may accrue to the contract(s) issued with respect to the plan. The
participating employee should look to the terms of his plan for any charges in
regard to participating therein other than those disclosed in this Prospectus.
Distributions from a Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plan are prohibited
unless made after the participating employee attains the age specified in the
plan, separates from service, dies, becomes permanently and totally disabled or
suffers an unforeseeable financial emergency. Present federal tax law does not
allow tax-free transfers or rollovers for amounts accumulated in a Section 457
plan except for transfers to other Section 457 plans in limited cases.
D. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ANNUITIES UNDER SECTION 408
Section 408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to establish individual
retirement programs through the purchase of Individual Retirement Annuities
("IRAs"). IRAs are subject to limitations on the amount that may be contributed,
the contributions that may be deducted from taxable income, the persons who may
be eligible and the time when distributions may commence. Also, distributions
from certain qualified plans may be "rolled-over" on a tax-deferred basis into
an IRA.
E. TAX PENALTIES
Distributions from retirement plans are generally taxed under Section 72 of
the Code. Under these rules, a portion of each distribution may be excludable
from income. The excludable amount is the portion of the distribution which
bears the same ratio as the after-tax contributions bear to the expected return.
1. PREMATURE DISTRIBUTION
Distributions from a qualified plan before the Participant attains age
59 1/2 are generally subject to an additional tax equal to 10% of the
taxable portion of the distribution. The 10% penalty does not apply to
distributions made after the employee's death, on account of disability
and distributions in the form of a life annuity and, except in the case
of an IRA, certain distributions after separation from service at or
after age 55 and certain distributions for eligible medical expenses. A
life annuity is defined as a scheduled series of substantially equal
periodic payments for the life or life expectancy of the Participant (or
the joint lives or life expectancies of the Participant and
Beneficiary).
2. MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION TAX
If the amount distributed is less than the minimum required distribution
for the year, the Participant is subject to a 50% tax on the amount that
was not properly distributed.
An individual's interest in a retirement plan must generally be
distributed or begin to be distributed not later than April 1 of the
calendar year in which the individual attains age 70 1/2 ("required
beginning date"). The required beginning date with respect to certain
government plans may be further deferred. The entire interest of the
Participant must be distributed beginning no later than this required
beginning date over a period which may not extend beyond a maximum of
the life expectancy of the Participant and a designated Beneficiary.
Each annual distribution must equal or exceed a "minimum distribution
amount" which is determined by dividing the account balance by the
applicable life expectancy. This account balance is generally based upon
the account value as of the close of business on the last day of the
previous calendar year. In addition, minimum distribution incidental
benefit rules may require a larger annual distribution.
If an individual dies before reaching his or her required beginning
date, the individual's entire interest must generally be distributed
within five years of the individuals' death. However, this rule will be
deemed satisfied, if distributions begin before the close of the
calendar year following the individual's death to a designated
Beneficiary (or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy
of the beneficiary). If the Beneficiary is the individual's surviving
spouse, distributions may be delayed until the individual would have
attained age 70 1/2.
31
<PAGE>
If an individual dies after reaching his or her required beginning date
or after distributions have commenced, the individual's interest must
generally be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of
distribution in effect at the time of the individual's death.
3. EXCESS DISTRIBUTION TAX
If the aggregate distributions from all IRAs and certain other qualified
plans in a calendar year exceed the greater of (i) $150,000, or (ii)
$112,500 as indexed for inflation ($155,000 as of January 1, 1996), a
penalty tax of 15% is generally imposed on the excess portion of the
distribution.
4. WITHHOLDING
Periodic distributions from a qualified plan lasting for a period of 10
or more years are generally subject to voluntary income tax withholding.
The recipient of periodic distributions may generally elect not to have
withholding apply or to have income taxes withheld at a different rate
by providing a completed election form. Otherwise, the amount withheld
on such distributions is determined at the rate applicable to wages as
if the recipient were married claiming three exemptions.
Nonperiodic distributions from an IRA are subject to income tax
withholding at a flat 10% rate. The recipient may elect not to have
withholding apply.
Nonperiodic distributions from other qualified plans are generally
subject to mandatory income tax withholding at the flat rate of 20%
unless such distributions are:
(1) the non-taxable portion of the distribution;
(2) required minimum distributions;
(3) eligible rollover distributions.
Eligible rollover distributions are direct payments to an IRA or to
another qualified employer plan.
Any distribution from plans described in Section 457 of the Code is
subject to regular wage withholding rules.

INTRODUCTION
The tax deferred Variable Annuity Contracts described in the Prospectus are
designed to provide Annuity benefits to individuals who have established or wish
to establish retirement programs which may or may not qualify for special
Federal income tax treatment. The Annuitant under these Contracts may receive
Annuity benefits in accordance with the Annuity option selected and the
retirement program, if any, under which the Contracts have been purchased.
Annuity payments under a Contract will begin on a particular future date which
may be selected at any time under the Contract or automatically when the
Annuitant reaches age 90 except in certain states where deferral past age 85 is
not permitted. There are several alternative annuity payment options available
under the Contract (see "Annuity Options," page of the Prospectus).
The Premium Payments under a Contract, less any applicable Premium Taxes, will
be applied to the Separate Account and/or the Fixed Account. Accordingly, the
net Premium Payment under the Contract will be applied to purchase interests in
one or more of the following eleven Portfolios ("Funds") of Putnam Capital
Manager Trust, an open-end diversified series investment company: PCM Asia
Pacific Growth Fund, PCM Diversified Income Fund, PCM Global Asset Allocation
Fund, PCM Global Growth Fund, PCM Growth and Income Fund, PCM High Yield Fund,
PCM Money Market Fund, PCM New Opportunities Fund, PCM U.S. Government and High
Quality Bond Fund, PCM Utilities Growth and Income Fund and PCM Voyager Fund.
Shares of the Funds are purchased by the Separate Account without the imposition
of any additional sales charge. The value of a Contract depends on the value of
the shares of the Fund held by the Separate Account pursuant to that Contract.
As a result, the Contract Owner bears the investment risk since market value of
the shares may increase or decrease.
The Contracts provide that in the event the Annuitant dies before the selected
Annuity Commencement Date, the Contingent Annuitant will become the Annuitant.
If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date and there is no
designated Contingent Annuitant, or the Contingent Annuitant predeceases the
Annuitant, or if the Contract Owner dies before the Annuity Commencement Date,
the Beneficiary will receive the Contract Value determined on the date of
receipt of due proof of death by ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company
("ITT Hartford") in its Home Office. If, upon death prior to the Annuity
Commencement Date, the Annuitant or Contract Owner, as applicable, had not
attained his 90th birthday, the Beneficiary will receive the greater of (a) the
Contract Value determined as of the day written proof of death of such person is
received by ITT Hartford, or (b) 100% of the total Premium Payments made to such
Contract, reduced by any prior surrenders, or (c) the Contract Value on the
Specified Contract Anniversary immediately preceding the date of death,
increased by the dollar amount of any Premium Payments made and reduced by the
dollar amount of any partial surrenders since the immediately preceding
Specified Contract Anniversary.

DESCRIPTION OF ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("ITT Hartford"), formerly ITT
Life Insurance Corporation, was originally incorporated under the laws of
Wisconsin on January 9, 1956. ITT Hartford was redomiciled to Connecticut on
May 1, 1996. It is a stock life insurance company engaged in the business of
writing both individual and group life insurance and annuities in all states
including the District of Columbia, except New York. The offices of ITT
Hartford are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota; however, its mailing address is
P.O. Box 5085, Hartford, Connecticut 06102-5085.
ITT Hartford is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company.
ITT Hartford is ultimately 100% owned by Hartford Fire Insurance Company, one of
the largest multiple lines insurance carriers in the United States. On December
20, 1995, Hartford Fire Insurance Company became an independent, publicly traded
corporation.
ITT Hartford is rated A+ (superior) by A.M. Best and Company, Inc. on the basis
of its financial soundness and operating performance. ITT Hartford is rated AA+
by both Standard & Poor's and Duff and Phelps on the basis of its claims paying
ability.
These ratings do not apply to the performance of the Separate Account. However,
the contractual obligation under this variable annuity are the general corporate
obligations of ITT Hartford. These ratings do apply to ITT Hartford's ability
to meet its insurance obligations under the Contract.
SAFEKEEPING OF ASSETS
The assets of the Separate Account are held by ITT Hartford under a safekeeping
arrangement.

Reference is made to said report of ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance
Company (the depositor), which inlcudes an explanatory paragraph with respect
to changing the valuation method in determining aggregate reserves for future
benefits.
DISTRIBUTION OF CONTRACTS
Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") serves as Principal
Underwriter for the securities issued with respect to the Separate Account. HSD
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company. The principal
business address of HSD is the same as ITT Hartford.
The securities will be sold by salespersons of HSD who represent ITT Hartford as
insurance and Variable Annuity agents and who are registered representatives of
Broker-Dealers who have
<PAGE>
-5-
entered into distribution agreements with HSD.
HSD is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a Broker-Dealer and is a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").
Commissions will be paid by ITT Hartford and will not be more than 6% of premium
payments from time to time, ITT Hartford may pay or permit other promotion
incentives in cash or credit or other compensation.
Prior to June 26, 1995, the Principal Underwriter for the Separate Account was
Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc. ("HESCO"), an NASD member Broker-Dealer.
The offering of the Separate Account is continuous.
ANNUITY/PAYOUT PERIOD
ANNUITY PAYMENTS
Variable Annuity payments are determined on the basis of (1) a mortality table
set forth in the Contracts and the type of Annuity payment option selected, and
(2) the investment performance of the investment medium selected. Fixed Annuity
payments are based on the Annuity tables contained in the Contracts, and will
remain level for the duration of the Annuity.
The amount of the Annuity payments will not be affected by adverse mortality
experience or by an increase in expenses in excess of the expense deduction for
which provision has been made (see "Mortality and Expense Risk Charge," page
of the Prospectus).
For a Variable Annuity, the Annuitant will be paid the value of a fixed number
of Annuity Units each month. The value of such units and the amounts of the
monthly Variable Annuity payments will, however, reflect investment income
occurring after retirement, and thus the Variable Annuity payments will vary
with the investment experience of the Fund shares selected.
THE ANNUITY UNIT AND VALUATION
The value of the Annuity Unit for each Sub-Account in the Separate Account for
any day is determined by multiplying the value for the preceding day by the
product of (1) the net investment factor (see "Valuation of Accumulation Units,"
page of the Prospectus) for the day for which the Annuity Unit value is
being calculated, and (2) a factor to neutralize the assumed investment rate
discussed below.

DETERMINATION OF PAYMENT AMOUNT
When Annuity payments are to commence, the value of the Contract is determined
as the sum of the value of the Fixed Account no earlier than the close of
business on the fifth Valuation Day preceding the date the first Annuity payment
is due plus the product of the value of the Accumulation Unit of each
Sub-Account on that same day, and the number of Accumulation Units credited to
each Sub-Account as of the date the Annuity is to commence.
The Contract contains tables indicating the minimum dollar amount of the first
monthly payment under the optional forms of Annuity for each $1,000 of value of
a Sub-Account under a Contract. The first monthly payment varies according to
the form and type of Annuity selected. The Contracts contain Annuity tables
derived from the 1983a Individual Annuity Mortality Table with ages set back one
year with an assumed investment rate ("A.I.R.") of 3.00% per annum for a Fixed
Annuity and 5.00% per annum for a Variable Annuity. The total first monthly
Variable Annuity payment is determined by multiplying the value (expressed in
thousands of dollars) of a Sub-Account (less any applicable Premium Taxes) by
the amount of the first monthly payment per $1,000 of value obtained from the
tables in the Contracts.
Fixed Annuity payments are determined at annuitization by multiplying the values
allocated to the Fixed Account by a rate to be determined by ITT Hartford which
is no less than the rate specified in the Annuity tables in the Contract. The
Annuity payment will remain level for the duration of the Annuity.
The amount of the first monthly Variable Annuity payment, determined as
described above, is divided by the value of an Annuity Unit for the
appropriate Sub-Account no earlier than the close of business on the fifth
Valuation Day preceding the day on which the payment is due in order to
determine the number of Annuity Units represented by the first payment. This
number of Annuity Units remains fixed during the Annuity Period, and in each
subsequent month the dollar amount of the Variable Annuity payment is
determined by multiplying this fixed number of Annuity Units by the then
current Annuity Unit value.
The A.I.R. assumed in the mortality tables would produce level Variable Annuity
payments if the investment rate remained constant. In fact, payments will vary
up or down as the investment rate varies up or down from the A.I.R.
The Annuity payments will be made on the fifteenth day of each month following
selection. The Annuity Unit value used in calculating the amount of the
Variable Annuity payments will be based on an Annuity Unit value determined as
of the close of business on a day no earlier than the fifth Valuation Day
preceding the date of the Annuity payment.

CALCULATION OF YIELD AND RETURN
YIELD OF THE PCM MONEY MARKET FUND SUB-ACCOUNT. As summarized in the Prospectus
under the heading "Performance Related Information," the yield of the
Sub-Account for a seven day period (the "base period") will be computed by
determining the "net change in value" of a hypothetical account having a balance
of one unit at the beginning of the period, dividing the net change in account
value by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period to obtain
the base period return, and multiplying the base period return by 365/7 with the
resulting yield figure carried to the nearest hundredth of one percent. Net
changes in value of a hypothetical account will include net investment income of
the account (accrued dividends as declared by the underlying funds, less expense
and Contract charges of the account) for the period, but will not include
realized gains or losses or unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the
underlying fund shares.
The 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 yield and effective yield for the Sub-Account for the seven-day period
ending December 31, 1995 is as follows:
Yield = 4.98%
Effective Yield = 5.10%
The High Yield Fund, U.S. Government and High Quality Bond Fund, and PCM Growth
and Income Fund Sub-Accounts' yields will vary from time to time depending upon
market conditions and, the composition of the underlying funds' portfolios.
Yield should also be considered relative to changes in the value of the
Sub-Accounts' shares and to the relative risks associated with the investment
objectives and policies of the Funds.
UTILITIES GROWTH AND INCOME FUND SUB-ACCOUNT
Yield calculations of the Sub-Account used for illustration purposes reflect the
interest earned by the Sub-Account, less applicable asset charges assessed
against a Contract Owner's account over the base period. The following is the
method used to determine the yield for the 30-day period ended December 31,
1995.
<PAGE>
-8-
Example:
Current Yield Formula for the Sub-Account 2*[((A-B)/(C*D)+1)6 - 1]
Where A = Dividends and interest earned during the period.
B = Expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements).
C = The average daily number of units outstanding during the period
that were entitled to receive dividends.
D = The maximum offering price per unit on the last day of the
period.
Yield = 3.47%
HIGH YIELD FUND SUB-ACCOUNT
Yield calculations of the Sub-Account used for illustration purposes reflect the
interest earned by the Sub-Account, less applicable asset charges assessed
against a Contract Owner's account over the base period. The following is the
method used to determine the yield for the 30-day period ended December 31,
1995.
Example:

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 = 9.21%

Yield = 2.34%
CALCULATION OF TOTAL RETURN. As summarized in the Prospectus under the heading
"Performance Related Information", total return is a measure of the change in
value of an investment in a Sub-Account over the period covered. The formula
for total return used herein includes three steps: (1) calculating the value of
the hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 as of the end of the period by
multiplying the total number of units owned at the end of the period by the unit
value per unit on the last trading day of the period; (2) assuming redemption at
the end of the period and deducting any applicable contingent deferred sales
charge and the $30.00 Annual Maintenance Fee (if applicable) 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.
At any time in the future, yields and total return may be higher or lower than
past yields and there can be no assurance that any historical results will
continue.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS
YIELD AND TOTAL RETURN. 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. Index performance
is not representative of the performance of the PCM Sub-Account to which it is
compared and is not adjusted for commissions and other costs. Portfolio
holdings of the PCM Sub-Account will differ from those of the index to which it
is compared. Performance comparison indices include the following:
The Consumer Price Index, prepared by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is a
commonly used measure of the rate of inflation. The index shows the average
change in the cost of selected consumer goods and services and does not
represent a return on an investment vehicle.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is an unmanaged list of 30 common stocks
frequently used as a general measure of stock market performance. Its
performance figures reflect changes of market prices and reinvestment of all
distributions.
Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index is an unmanaged list of publicly issued,
fixed-rate, non-convertible investment-grade domestic corporate debt securities
frequently used as a general measure of the performance of fixed-income
securities. The average quality of bonds included in the index may be higher
than the average quality of those bonds in which PCM High Yield Fund customarily
invests. The index does not include bonds in certain of the lower rating
classifications in which the Fund may invest. The performance figures of the
index reflect changes in market prices and reinvestment of all interest
payments.
The Lehman Brothers 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 Lehman Brothers 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 index does not include bonds in certain of the lower-rating
classifications in which PCM High Yield Fund invests. Its performance figures
reflect changes in market prices and reinvestment of all interest payments.
Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index is an unmanaged list of
approximately 1,450 equity securities listed on the stock exchanges of the
United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Far East, with all
values expressed in U.S. dollars. Performance figures reflect changes in market
prices and reinvestment of distributions net of withholding taxes. The
securities in the index change over time to maintain representativeness.
<PAGE>
-11-
The NASDAQ-OTC Industrial Average (The "NASDAQ Index") is a market
value-weighted and unmanaged index showing the changes in the aggregate market
value of approximately 3,500 stocks relative to the base measure of 100.00 on
February 5, 1971. The NASDAQ Index is composed entirely of common stocks of
companies traded over-the-counter and often through the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotations ("NASDAQ") system. Only those
over-the-counter stocks having only one market maker or traded on exchanges are
excluded. Its performance figures reflect changes of market prices but do not
reflect reinvestment of cash dividends.
Salomon Brothers Long-Term High-Grade Corporate Bond Index is an unmanaged list
of publicly traded corporate bonds having a rating of at least AA by Standard &
Poor's or Aa by Moody's and is frequently used as general measure of the
performance of fixed-income securities. The average quality of bonds included
in the index may be higher than the average quality of those bonds in which PCM
High Yield customarily invests. The index does not include bonds in certain of
the lower rating classifications in which the Fund may invest. Performance
figures for the index reflect changes of market prices and reinvestment of all
distributions.
The Salomon Brothers 7-10 Year Government Bond Index is an unmanaged list of
U.S. Government and government agency securities with maturities of 7 to 10
years. Performance figures for the index reflect changes of market prices and
reinvestment of all interest payments.
The Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 stocks (the "S&P 500") is a market
value-weighted and unmanaged index showing 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. Its performance figures reflect changes
of market prices and reinvestment of all regular cash dividends.
The Standard & Poor's 40 Utilities Index is unmanaged list of 40 utility stocks.
The Index assumes reinvestment of all distributions and reflects changes in
market prices but does not take into account brokerage commissions or other
fees. PCM Utilities Growth and Income Fund's telephone and electric utility
stocks are generally held in the same proportion as the telephone and electric
stocks in the S&P Utilities Index. However, there are some utility stocks held
by the Fund that are not part of the Index.
The manner in which total return and yield will be calculated for public use is
described above. The following table summarizes the calculation of total return
and yield for each Sub-Account, where applicable, through December 31, 1995.

1. ORGANIZATION:
Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account Two (the Account) is a separate
investment account within ITT Hartford Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the
Company) and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as
a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Both the Company and the Account are subject to supervision and regulation by
the Department of Insurance of the State of Connecticut. The Account invests
deposits by Variable annuity contractholders of the Company in various mutual
funds (the Funds) as directed by the contractholders.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Account,
which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
investment company industry:
A) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS Security transactions are recorded on the trade date
(date the order to buy or sell is executed). Cost of investments sold is
determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend and capital gains income
are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Capital gains income represents
dividends from the funds which are characterized as capital gains under tax
regulations.
B) SECURITY VALUATION The investment in shares of the Funds is valued at the
closing net asset value per share as determined by the appropriate Fund as of
December 31, 1995.
C) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The operations of the Account form a part of, and are
taxed with, the total operations of the Company, which is taxed as an insurance
company under the Internal Revenue Code. Under current law, no federal income
taxes are payable with respect to the operations of the Account.
D) USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principle requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
expenses during the period. Operating results in the future could vary from the
amounts derived from management's estimates.
3. ADMINISTRATION OF THE ACCOUNT AND RELATED CHARGES:
A) MORTALITY AND EXPENSE UNDERTAKINGS The Company, as issuer of variable annuity
contracts, provides the mortality and expense undertakings and, with respect to
the Account, receives a maximum annual fee of 1.25% of the Account's average
daily net assets. The Company also provides administrative services and receives
an annual fee of 0.15% of the Account's average daily net assets.
B) DEDUCTION OF ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE Annual maintenance fees are deducted
through termination of units of interest from applicable contract owners'
accounts, in accordance with the terms of the contracts.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1995
<PAGE>
ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
----------------------------------------
To the Board of Directors of
ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company:
We have audited the accompanying statutory balance sheets of ITT Hartford
Life and Annuity Insurance Company (a Wisconsin corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary of Hartford Life Insurance Company) (the Company) as of December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statutory statements of income, changes in
capital and surplus, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
statutory-basis financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
The Company presents its financial statements in conformity with statutory
accounting practices as described in Note 1 of notes to statutory financial
statements. When statutory financial statements are presented for purposes
other than for filing with a regulatory agency, generally accepted auditing
standards require that an auditors' report on them state whether they are
presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The
accounting practices used by the Company vary from generally accepted
accounting principles as explained and quantified in Note 1. In our opinion,
because the differences in accounting practices as described in Note 1 are
material, the statutory financial statements referred to above do not present
fairly, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1995.
<PAGE>
However, in our opinion, the statutory financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of operations and
its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995 in conformity with statutory accounting practices as described in Note 1.
As discussed in Note 1 of notes to statutory financial statements, the
Company changed its valuation method in determining aggregate reserves for
future benefits.

ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED)
1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
ORGANIZATION
ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (ILA or the Company), formerly
known as ITT Life Insurance Corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Hartford Life Insurance Company (HLIC), which is an indirect subsidiary of ITT
Hartford Group, Inc. (ITT Hartford), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT
Corporation (ITT). On December 19, 1995, ITT Corporation distributed all the
outstanding shares of ITT Hartford Group to ITT shareholders of record in an
action known herein as the "Distribution". As a result of the Distribution, ITT
Hartford became an independent, publicly traded company.
ILA offers a complete line of ordinary and universal life insurance, individual
annuities and certain supplemental accident and health benefit coverages.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying ILA statutory basis financial statements were prepared in
conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and the Insurance
Department of the State of Wisconsin.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with statutory accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilties and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Statutory accounting practices and generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) differ in certain significant respects. These differences principally
involve:
(1) treatment of policy acquisition costs (commissions, underwriting and selling
expenses, premium taxes, etc.) which are charged to expense when incurred for
statutory purposes rather than on a pro-rata basis over the expected life of the
policy;
(2) recognition of premium revenues, which for statutory purposes are generally
recorded as collected or when due during the premium paying period of the
contract and which for GAAP purposes, generally, for universal life policies and
investment products, are only recorded for policy charges for the cost of
insurance, policy administration and surrender charges assessed to policy
account balances. Also, for GAAP purposes, premiums for traditional life
insurance policies are recognized as revenues when they are due from
policyholders and the retrospective deposit method is used in accounting for
universal life and other types of contracts where the payment pattern is
irregular or surrender charges are a significant source of profit. The
prospective deposit method is used for GAAP purposes where investment margins
are the primary source of profit;
(3) development of liabilities for future policy benefits, which for statutory
purposes predominantly use interest rate and mortality assumptions prescribed by
the NAIC which may vary considerably from interest and mortality assumptions
used for GAAP financial reporting;
(4) providing for income taxes based on current taxable income (tax return) only
for statutory purposes, rather than establishing additional assets or
liabilities for deferred Federal income taxes to recognize the tax effect
related to reporting revenues and expenses in different periods for financial
reporting and tax return purposes;
-1-
<PAGE>
(5) excluding certain GAAP assets designated as non-admitted assets (e.g., past
due agent's balances and furniture and equipment) from the balance sheet for
statutory purposes by directly charging surplus;
(6) establishing accruals for post-retirement and post-employment health care
benefits on an optional basis, immediate recognition or a twenty year phase-in
approach, whereas GAAP liabilities were established at date of adoption;
(7) establishing a formula reserve for realized and unrealized losses due to
default and equity risk associated with certain invested assets (Asset Valuation
Reserve); as well as the deferral and amortization of realized gains and losses,
motivated by changes in interest rates during the period the asset is held, into
income over the remaining life to maturity of the asset sold (Interest
Maintenance Reserve); whereas on a GAAP basis, no such formula reserve is
required and realized gains and losses are recognized in the period the asset is
sold;
(8) the reporting of reserves and benefits net of reinsurance ceded, where risk
transfer has taken place; whereas on a GAAP basis, reserves are reported gross
of reinsurance with reserve credits presented as recoverable assets;
(9) the reporting of fixed maturities at amortized cost, where GAAP requires
that fixed maturities be classified as "held-to-maturity", "available-for-sale"
or "trading", based on the Company's intentions with respect to the ultimate
disposition of the security and its ability to affect those intentions. The
Company's fixed maturities were classified on a GAAP basis as "available-for-
sale" and accordingly, these investments were reflected at fair value with the
corresponding impact included as a component of Stockholder's Equity designated
as "Unrealized Gain/Loss on Investments, Net of Tax". For statutory reporting
purposes, Net Unrealized Loss on Investments represents unrealized gains or
losses on common stock and other bonds reported at fair value; and
(10) separate account liabilties are valued on the Commissioner's Annuity
Reserve Valuation Method (CARVM), with the surplus generated recorded as a
liability to the general account (and a contra liability on the balance sheet of
the general account), whereas GAAP liabilities are valued at account value.
As of December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the significant differences between
statutory and GAAP basis
net income and capital and surplus for the Company are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>
AGGREGATE RESERVES AND LIABILITIES FOR PREMIUM AND OTHER DEPOSIT FUNDS
Aggregate reserves for payment of future life, health and annuity benefits were
computed in accordance with presently accepted actuarial standards. Reserves
for life insurance policies are generally based on the 1958 and 1980
Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables at various rates ranging from
2.5% to 6.0%. Accumulation and on-benefit annuity reserves are based
principally on Individual Annuity tables at various rates ranging from 2.5% to
8.75% and using the Commissioner's Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (CARVM).
Accident and health reserves are established using a two year preliminary term
method and morbidity tables based on Company experience.
ILA has established separate accounts to segregate the assets and liabilities of
certain annuity contracts that must be segregated from the Company's general
assets under the terms of the contracts. The assets consist primarily of
marketable securities reported at market value. Premiums, benefits and expenses
of these contracts are reported in the Statutory Statements of Income.
During 1994, the Company changed the valuation method on aggregate reserves for
future benefits resulting in a $10.7 million increase in surplus. The new
valuation method is in accordance with presently accepted actuarial standards.
INVESTMENTS
Investments in bonds are carried at amortized cost. Bonds which are deemed
ineligible to be held at amortized cost by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (NAIC) Securities Valuation Office (SVO) are carried at the
appropriate SVO published value. When a permanent reduction in the value of
publicly traded securities occurs, the decrease is reported as a realized loss
and the carrying value is adjusted accordingly. Common stocks are carried at
market value with the difference from cost reflected in surplus. Other invested
assets are generally recorded at fair value.
Changes in unrealized capital gains and losses on common stock are reported as
additions to or reductions of surplus. The Asset Valuation Reserve is designed
to provide a standardized reserve process for realized and unrealized losses due
to the default and equity risks associated with invested assets. The reserve
increased by $5,588, $1,356 and $135 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Additionally, the Interest Maintenance Reserve (IMR) captures net realized
capital gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, resulting from changes
in interest rates and amortizes these gains or losses into income over the
remaining life of the mortgage loan or bond sold. Realized capital gains and
losses, net of taxes, not included in IMR are reported in the Statutory
Statements of Income. Realized investment gains and losses are determined
-3-
<PAGE>
on a specific identification basis. The amount of net capital gains reclassified
from the IMR was $39 in 1995 and the amount of net capital losses was $67 and
$264 in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The amount of income amortized was $256,
$114 and $178 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
OTHER LIABILITIES
The amount reflected in other liabilities includes a receivable from the
separate accounts of $333.1, $186.5 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The
balances are classified in accordance with NAIC accounting practices.

The carrying amounts for policy loans approximates fair value. The

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Transactions between the Company and its affiliates within ITT Hartford relate
principally to tax settlements, reinsurance, service fees, capital contributions
and payments of dividends.
On June 30, 1995, the assets of Lyndon Insurance Company were contributed to
ILA. As a result, ILA received approximately $365 million in fixed maturities,
equity securities and cash, $28 million in policy reserves, $187 million of
current tax liability, $26 million in IMR, $8 million in AVR (offset by an
aggregate write-in to surplus), and $4 million of other liabilities. The assets
in excess of liabilities of $112 were recorded as an increase to paid-in
surplus.
For additional information, see Note 5.
4. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of ITT
Hartford and its includable subsidiaries. Allocation of taxes is based
primarily upon separate company tax return calculations with current credit for
net losses used in consolidation except that increases resulting from
consolidation are
-7-
<PAGE>
allocated in proportion to separate return amounts. Intercompany Federal income
tax balances are generally settled quarterly with Hartford Fire Insurance
Company (Hartford Fire), a subsidiary of ITT Hartford. Federal income taxes paid
by the Company were $215,921, $20,538, and $10,042 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The effective tax rate was 25%, 92%, and 1,181% in 1995, 1994, and
1993 respectively. The following schedule provides a reconciliation of the
effective tax rate (in millions).

5. CAPITAL AND SURPLUS AND SHAREHOLDER DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS:
The maximum amount of dividends which can be paid, without prior approval, by
State of Wisconsin insurance companies to shareholders is subject to
restrictions relating to statutory surplus. Dividends are paid as determined by
the Board of Directors and are not cumulative. ILA paid dividends of $10 million
to its parent, HLIC, in 1995. No dividends were paid in 1994 and 1993. As a
result of the distribution by ITT, the assets of ITT Lyndon Insurance Company
(Lyndon) were contributed to ILA in June 1995. Substantially all the business
was removed from Lyndon prior to the contribution. The amount of assets which
exceeded liabilities at the contribution date ($112 million) was included in
paid-in capital.
6. PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT AND POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS:
The Company's employees are included in ITT Hartford's non-contributory defined
benefit pension plans. These plans provide pension benefits that are based on
years of service and the employee's compensation during the last ten years of
employment. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually an amount
between the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 and the maximum amount that can be deducted for
Federal income tax purposes. Generally, pension costs are funded through the
purchase of HLIC's group pension contracts. Pension expense was $1,034, $1,211,
and $765 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Liabilities for the plan are held
by Hartford Fire.
The Company also participates in ITT Hartford 's Investment and Savings Plan,
which includes a deferred compensation option under IRC section 401(k) and
an ESOP allocation under IRC section 404(k). The liabilities for these plans are
included in the financial statements of Hartford Fire. The cost to ILA was not
material in 1995, 1994 and 1993.
The Company's employees are included in Hartford Fire's contributory defined
health care and life insurance benefit plans. These plans provide health care
and life insurance benefits for retired employees. Substantially all employees
may become eligible for those benefits if they reach normal or early retirement
age while still working for the Company. The Company has prefunded a portion of
the health care and life insurance obligations through trust funds where such
prefunding can be accomplished on a tax effective basis. Amounts allocated by
Hartford Fire for post-retirement health care and life insurance benefits
expense (not including provisions for accrual of post-retirement benefit
obligations) are immaterial.
The assumed rate of future increases in the per capita cost of health care (the
health care trend rate) was 10.1% for 1995, decreasing ratably to 6% in the year
2001. Increasing the health care trend rates by one percent per year would have
an immaterial impact on the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation and
the annual expense. The cost to ILA was not material in 1995, 1994 and 1993.
Post-employment benefits are primarily comprised of obligations to provide
medical and life insurance to employees on long term disability. Post-
employment benefit expense was not material in 1995, 1994 and 1993.

7. REINSURANCE:
The Company cedes insurance to non-affiliated insurers in order to limit its
maximum loss. Such transfer does not relieve ILA of its primary liability. ILA
also assumes insurance from other insurers.
Life insurance net retained premiums were comprised of the following:
For the years ended december 31
-------------------------------
1995.00 1994.00 1993.00
Direct premiums 159,918 133,180 131,586
Premiums assumed 13,299 960 841
Premiums ceded 7,425 (308,033) 118,146
Premiums and annuity considerations 165,792 442,173 14,281
In December 1994 the Company ceded to a third party, on a modified coinsurance
basis, 80% of the variable annuity business written in 1994. The ceded business
includes both general and separate account liabilities. As a result of the
agreement ILA transferred approximately $1,352 million in assets and
liabilities. The financial impact of the cession was an increase of
approximately $15 million to net income and surplus.
In November 1994, the Company ceded, on a modified coinsurance basis, 30% of
the separate account variable annuity business distributed by Paine Webber to
Paine Webber Life Insurance Company (PWLIC). As a result of the agreement, ILA
transferred approximately $24 million in assets and liabilities to PWLIC. The
financial impact of the cession was an increase of approximately $765 to net
income and surplus.
In October 1994, the agreement, effective December 1990, which required ILA to
coinsure 90% of all existing and new business, excluding variable annuity
business, written by the Company to HLIC, was terminated. As a result of the
termination, ILA received approximately $430 million in assets and liabilities
from HLIC. The impact of the transaction was a decrease of approximately $15
million to net income and surplus.
In November 1993, ILA acquired, through an assumption reinsurance transaction,
substantially all of the individual fixed and variable annuity business of
Hartford Life and Accident, an affiliate. As a result of this transaction, the
assets and liabilities of the Company increased approximately $1 billion,
substantially all of which was transferred to the separate accounts of the
Company. The remaining assets and liabilities (approximately $41 million) were
transferred in October 1995. The impact of these transactions on net income and
surplus was not significant.
8. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS:
The Company maintains separate account assets and liabilties totaling $7.3
billion and $3.6 billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Separate
account assets are reported at fair value and separate account liabilities are
determined in accordance with the Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation
Method (CARVM), which approximates the market value less applicable surrender
charges. Separate account assets are segregated from other investments, the
policyholder assumes the investment risk, and the investment income and gains
and losses accrue directly to the policyholder. Separate account management
fees, net of minimum guarantees, were $72 million, $42 million, and $6 million
in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

<PAGE>
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had no material contingent liabilities, nor
had the Company committed any surplus funds for any contingent liabilities or
arrangements. The Company is involved in various legal actions which have
arisen in the course normal of its business. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate liability with respect to such lawsuits as well as other contingencies
is not considered to be material in relation to the results of operations and
financial position of the Company.
Under insurance guaranty laws in most states, insurers doing business therein
can be assessed up to prescribed limits for policyholder losses incurred by
insolvent companies. The amount of any future assessments on ILA under these
laws cannot be reasonably estimated. Most of the laws do provide, however, that
an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's own
financial strength. Additionally, guaranty fund assessments are used to reduce
state premium taxes paid by the company in certain states. ILA paid guaranty
fund assessments of $1,684, $583, and $495 in 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively.

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

The Registrant hereby undertakes that 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, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is

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
whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such

PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of the June 26, 1995, made by and between ITT HARTFORD
LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY ("ILA" or the "Sponsor"), a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the State of Wisconsin, and HARTFORD
SECURITIES DISTRIBUTION COMPANY, INC. ("HSD"), a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Connecticut,
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of ILA has made provision for the establishment
of a separate account within ILA in accordance with the laws of the State of
Wisconsin, which separate account was organized and is established and
registered as a unit investment trust type investment company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940
("1940 Act"), as amended, and which is designated ITT Hartford Life and Annuity
Insurance Company Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account Two (referred to
as the "UIT"); and
WHEREAS, HSD offers to the public a certain Flexible Premium Variable Annuity
Insurance Contract (the "Contract") issued by ILA with respect to the UIT units
of interest thereunder which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933
("1933 Act"), as amended; and
WHEREAS, HSD has previously agreed to act as distributor in connection with
offers and sales of the Contract under the terms and conditions set forth in
this Principal Underwriter Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements made herein, ILA and
HSD agree as follows:
I.
HSD'S DUTIES
1. HSD, as successor principal underwriter to Hartford Equity Sales Company,
Inc. for the Contract, will use its best efforts to effect offers and sales
of the Contract through broker-dealers that are members of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and whose registered
representatives are duly licensed as insurance agents of ILA. HSD is
responsible for compliance with all applicable requirements of the 1933
Act, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), as
amended, and the 1940 Act, as amended, and the rules and regulations
relating to the sales and distribution of the Contract, the need for which
arises out of its duties as principal underwriter of said Contract and
relating to the creation of the UIT.
<PAGE>
2. HSD agrees that it will not use any prospectus, sales literature, or any
other printed matter or material or offer for sale or sell the Contract if
any of the foregoing in any way represent the duties, obligations, or
liabilities of ILA as being greater than, or different from, such duties,
obligations and liabilities as are set forth in this Agreement, as it may
be amended from time to time.
3. HSD agrees that it will utilize the then currently effective prospectus
relating to the UIT's Contracts in connection with its selling efforts.
As to the other types of sales materials, HSD agrees that it will use only
sales materials which conform to the requirements of federal and state
insurance laws and regulations and which have been filed, where necessary,
with the appropriate regulatory authorities.
4. HSD agrees that it or its duly designated agent shall maintain records of
the name and address of, and the securities issued by the UIT and held by,
every holder of any security issued pursuant to this Agreement, as required
by the Section 26(a)(4) of the 1940 Act, as amended.
5. HSD's services pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be
exclusive, and it may render similar services and act as an underwriter,
distributor, or dealer for other investment companies in the offering of
their shares.
6. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder on the part of
HSD, HSD shall not be subject to liability under a Contract for any act or
omission in the course, or connected with, rendering services hereunder.
II.
1. The UIT reserves the right at any time to suspend or limit the public
offering of the Contracts upon 30 days' written notice to HSD, except where
the notice period may be shortened because of legal action taken by any
regulatory agency.
2. The UIT agrees to advice HSD immediately:
(a) Of any request by the Securities and Exchange Commission for
amendment of its 1933 Act registration statement or for additional
information;
(b) Of the issuance by the Securities and Exchange Commission of any stop
order suspending the
<PAGE>
effectiveness of the 1933 Act registration statement relating to units
of interest issued with respect to the UIT or of the initiation of any
proceedings for that purpose;
<PAGE>
(c) Of the happening of any material event, if known, which makes untrue
any statement in said 1933 Act registration statement or which
requires a change therein in order to make any statement therein not
misleading.
ILA will furnish to HSD such information with respect to the UIT and the
Contracts in such form and signed by such of its officers and directors and
HSD may reasonably request and will warrant that the statements therein
contained when so signed will be true and correct. ILA will also furnish,
from time to time, such additional information regarding the UIT's
financial condition as HSD may reasonably request.
III.
COMPENSATION
In accordance with an Expense Reimbursement Agreement between ILA and HSD, HSD
is obligated to reimburse HSD for all operating expenses associated with the
services provided on behalf of the UIT under this Principal Underwriter
Agreement. No additional compensation is payable in excess of that required
under the Expense Reimbursement Agreement.
IV.
RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER
HSD may resign as a Principal Underwriter hereunder, upon 120 days' prior
written notice to ILA. However, such resignation shall not become effective
until either the UIT has been completely liquidated and the proceeds of the
liquidation distributed through ILA to the Contract owners or a successor
Principal Underwriter has been designated and has accepted its duties.
V.
MISCELLANEOUS
1. This Agreement may not be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the
written consent of the other party.
2. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be delivered by hand or mailed first class, postage
prepaid, addressed as follows:

(b) If to HSD - Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc.,
P.O. Box 2999, Hartford, Connecticut 06104.
or to such other address as HSD or ILA shall designate by written notice to

shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be deemed one
instrument, and an executed copy of this Agreement and all amendments
hereto shall be kept on file by the Sponsor and shall be open to inspection
any time during the business hours of the Sponsor.
4. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
successor of the parties hereto.
5. This Agreement shall be construed and governed by and according to the laws
of the State of Connecticut.

in effect for a period of two years from that date and, unless sooner
terminated in accordance with 7(b) below, shall continue in effect
from year to year thereafter provided that its continuance is
specifically approved at least annually by a majority of the members
of the Board of Directors of ILA.
(b) This Agreement (1) may be terminated at any time, without the payment
of any penalty, either by a vote of a majority of the members of the
Board of Directors of ILA on 60 days' prior written notice to HSD; (2)
shall immediately terminate in the event of its assignment and (3) may
be terminated by HSD on 60 days' prior written notice to ILA, but such
termination will not be effective until ILA shall have an agreement

the Contracts. HSD hereby agrees that it will continue to act as
successor principal underwriter until its successor or successors
assume such undertaking.

WHEREAS, Companies offer certain variable life insurance policies and variable

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

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this

supervise Registered Representatives in connection with the solicitation,
service and sale of the Registered Products.
II. AUTHORITY OF THE BROKER-DEALER
<PAGE>
Broker-Dealer has the authority to represent Distributor and Companies only
to the extent expressly granted in this Agreement. Broker-Dealer and any
Registered Representatives shall not hold themselves out to be employees of
Companies or Distributor in any dealings with the public. Broker-Dealer
and any Registered Representatives shall be independent contractors as to
Distributor or Companies. Nothing contained herein is intended to create a
relationship of employer and employee between Broker-Dealer and Distributor
or Companies or between Registered Representatives and Distributor or
Companies.
III. BROKER-DEALER REPRESENTATION
Broker-Dealer represents that it is a registered broker-dealer under the
1934 Act, a member in good standing of the NASD, and is registered as a
broker-dealer under state law to the extent necessary to perform the duties
described in this Agreement. Broker-Dealer represents that its Registered
Representatives, who will be soliciting applications for the Registered
Products, will be duly registered representatives associated with Broker-
Dealer and that they will be representatives in good standing with
accreditation as required by the NASD to sell the Registered Products.
Broker-Dealer agrees to abide by all rules and regulations of the NASD,
including its Rules of Fair Practice, and to comply with all applicable
state and federal laws and the rules and regulations of authorized
regulatory agencies affecting the sale of the Registered Products.
IV. BROKER-DEALER OBLIGATIONS
(a) TRAINING AND SUPERVISION
Broker-Dealer has full responsibility for the training and
supervision of all Registered Representatives associated with
Broker-Dealer and any other persons who are engaged directly or
indirectly in the offer or sale of the Registered Products. Broker-
Dealer shall, during the term of this Agreement, establish and
implement reasonable procedures for periodic inspection and
supervision of sales practices of its Registered Representatives.
If a Registered Representative ceases to be a Registered
Representative of Broker-Dealer, is disqualified for continued
registration or has their registration suspended by the NASD or
otherwise fails to meet the rules and standards imposed by Broker-
Dealer, Broker-Dealer shall immediately notify such Registered
Representative that he or she is no longer authorized to solicit
applications, on behalf of the Companies, for the sale of Registered
Products. Broker-Dealer shall immediately notify Distributor of
such termination or suspension.
(b) SOLICITATION
Broker-Dealer agrees to supervise its Registered Representatives so
that they will only solicit applications in states where the
Registered Products are approved for sale in accordance with
applicable state and federal laws. Broker-Dealer shall be notified
by Companies or Distributor of the availability of the Registered
Products in each state.
(c) NO CHURNING
Broker-Dealer and any Registered Representatives shall not make any
misrepresentation or incomplete comparison of products for the
purpose of inducing a policyholder to lapse, forfeit or surrender
its insurance in favor of purchasing a Registered Product.
(d) PROSPECTUS DELIVERY AND SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS
Broker-Dealer shall ensure that its Registered Representatives
comply with the prospectus delivery requirements under the
Securities Act of 1933. In addition, Broker-Dealer shall ensure
that its Registered Representatives shall not make recommendations
to an applicant to purchase a Registered Product in the absence of
reasonable grounds to believe that the
2
<PAGE>
purchase is suitable for such applicant, as outlined in the
suitability requirements of the 1934 Act and the NASD Rules of Fair
Practice. Broker-Dealer shall ensure that each application
obtained by its Registered Representatives shall bear evidence of
approval by one of its principals indicating that the application
has been reviewed for suitability.
(e) PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL
Broker-Dealer and its Registered Representatives are not authorized
to provide any information or make any representation in connection
with this Agreement or the solicitation of the Registered Products
other than those contained in the prospectus or other promotional
material produced or authorized by Companies or Distributor.
Broker-Dealer agrees that if it develops any promotional material
for sales, training, explanatory or other purposes in connection
with the solicitation of applications for Registered Products,
including generic advertising and/or training materials which may be
used in connection with the sale of Registered Products, it will
obtain the prior written consent of Distributor, and where
appropriate, approval of Companies, such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld.
(f) RECORD KEEPING
Broker-Dealer is responsible for maintaining the records of its
Registered Representatives. Broker-Dealer shall maintain such other
records as are required of it by applicable laws and regulations.
The books, accounts and records maintained by Broker-Dealer that
relate to the sale of the Registered Products, or dealings with the
Companies, Distributor and/or Broker-Dealer shall be maintained so
as to clearly and accurately disclose the nature and details of each
transaction.
Broker-Dealer acknowledges that all the records maintained by
Broker-Dealer relating to the solicitation, service or sale of the
Registered Products subject to this Agreement, including but not
limited to applications, authorization cards, complaint files and
suitability reviews, shall be available to Companies and Distributor
upon request during normal business hours. Companies and
Distributor may retain copies of any such records which Companies
and Distributor, in their discretion, deems necessary or desirable
to keep.
(g) REFUND OF COMPENSATION
Broker-Dealer agrees to repay Companies the total amount of any
compensation which may have been paid to it within thirty (30)
business days of notice of the request for such refund should
Companies for any reason return any premium on a Registered Product
which was solicited by a Registered Representative of Broker-Dealer.
(h) PREMIUM COLLECTION
Broker-Dealer only has the authority to collect initial premiums
unless specifically set forth in the applicable commission schedule.
Unless previously authorized by Distributor, neither Broker-Dealer
nor any of its Registered Representatives shall have any right to
withhold or deduct any part of any premium it shall receive for
purposes of payment of commission or otherwise.
V. COMPANIES AND/OR DISTRIBUTOR OBLIGATIONS
(a) PROSPECTUS/PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL
Companies and/or Distributor will provide Broker-Dealer with
reasonable quantities of the currently effective prospectus for the
Registered Products and appropriate sales promotional
3
<PAGE>
material which has been filed with the NASD, and applicable state
insurance departments.

EXHIBIT B
In accordance with Section V.(c) of the Broker-Dealer-Dealer Sales and
Supervision Agreement, no compensation is payable unless Broker-Dealer and
Registered Representative have first complied with all applicable state
insurance laws, rules and regulations. Distributor must ensure that any Broker-
Dealer with whom Distributor intends to enter into an Agreement and any
Registered Representatives meet the licensing and registration requirements of
the state(s) Broker-Dealer operates in and the NASD.
Companies are required by the Insurance Department in all 50 states to pay
compensation only to individuals and entities that are properly insurance
licensed and appointed. For registered products, Distributor must also comply
with NASD regulations that require Distributor to pay compensation to an NASD
registered Broker-Dealer. Distributor must comply with both state and NASD
requirements.
Distributor requires confirmation that Broker-Dealer holds current state
insurance licenses or markets insurance products through a contractual affiliate
or wholly owned life agency, which is properly insurance licensed. If Broker-
Dealer is properly state licensed then compensation may be paid to Broker-Dealer
in compliance with both state and NASD requirements.
If Broker-Dealer is not state insurance licensed and relies on the licensing of
a contractual affiliate or wholly owned life agency, the SEC has issued a number
of letters indicating that, under specific limited circumstances, it will take
"no action" against insurers (Distributor) paying compensation on registered
products to Broker-Dealer's contractual affiliate or wholly owned life agency.
At the request of Broker-Dealer, Distributor will provide copies of several of
these letters as well as a summary of their requirements.
If Broker-Dealer intends to rely on one of these "no-action" letters, legal
counsel for Broker-Dealer must confirm to Distributor in writing that all of the
circumstances of any one of the SEC no-action letters are applicable. Broker-
Dealer's counsel must summarize each point upon which the no-action relief was
granted and represent that Broker-Dealer's method of operation is identical or
meets the same criteria. Broker-Dealer's counsel must also confirm that, to the
best of counsel's knowledge, the SEC has not rescinded or modified its no-action
position since the letter was released.
The Broker-Dealer Sales and Supervision Agreement will not be finalized and no
new applications for registered products will be accepted or no new compensation
will be payable unless the appropriate proof of state licensing or no-action
relief is confirmed. In addition to a letter from Broker-Dealer's counsel,
copies of the following documentation is required:
-- life insurance licenses for all states in which Broker-Dealer holds
these licenses and intends to operate and/or;
-- life insurance licenses for any contractual affiliate or wholly owned
life agency; and
-- the SEC No-Action Letter that will be relied upon.
If you have any questions regarding these matters, please contact your Life
Licensing and Contracting representative.

director or officer of the Company, or of any other company, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise for which he serves as a director, officer
or employee at the request of the Company, in good faith, if such person (a)
exercised and used the same degree of care and skill as a prudent man would have
exercised or used under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs, or
(b) took or omitted to take such action in reliance upon advice of counsel for
the Company or upon statements made or information furnished by officers or
employees of the Company which he had reasonable grounds to believe to be true.
The foregoing shall not be exclusive of other rights and defenses to which he
may be entitled as a matter of law.
SECTION 2. The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, (other than one by or in the right of the Company) by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, or
is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or
employee of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such action, suit or 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
Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
SECTION 3. The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is

favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or
employee of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer or employee of another company, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of
such action or suit, 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, except
that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless and only to the
extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper.
SECTION 4. Expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in defending a civil
or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of
the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director or employee to repay such amount
unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified
by the Company as authorized hereby.
SECTION 5. The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under
any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or of disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to

RE: PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO ("SEPARATE ACCOUNT")
ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY ("COMPANY")
FILE NO. 33-73572
Dear Sir/Madam:
In my capacity as Associate General Counsel of the Company, I have supervised
the establishment of the Separate Account by the Board of Directors of the
Company as a separate account for assets applicable to Contracts offered by the
Company pursuant to Wisconsin law. I have participated in the preparation of
the registration statement for the Separate Account on Form N-4 under the
Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to
the Contracts.
I am of the following opinion:
1. The Separate Account is a separate account of the Company validly existing
pursuant to Wisconsin law and the regulations issued thereunder.
2. The assets held in the Separate Account are not chargeable with liabilities
arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.
3. The Contracts are legally issued and represent binding obligations of the
Company.
In arriving at the foregoing opinion, I have made such examination of the law
and examined such records and other documents as in my opinion as are necessary
or appropriate.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933.
Sincerely,
Lynda Godkin
Associate General Counsel & Secretary
