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


<PAGE>
                                      -4-


         Filed herewith as Exhibit 16.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners

         As of November 30, 1999 there were 205,905 Contract Owners.

Item 28. Indemnification

         Under Section 33-772 of the Connecticut General Statutes, unless
         limited by its certificate of incorporation, the Registrant must
         indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or
         otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party
         because he is or was a director of the corporation against reasonable
         expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.

         The Registrant may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding
         because he is or was a director against liability incurred in the
         proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
         believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
         Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reason
         to believe his conduct was unlawful. Conn. Gen. Stat. 33-771(a).
         Additionally, pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. 33-776, the Registrant may
         indemnify officers and employees or agents for liability incurred and
         for any expenses to which they become subject by reason of being or
         having been employees or officers of the Registrant. Connecticut law
         does not prescribe standards for the indemnification of officers,
         employees and agents and expressly states that their indemnification
         may be broader than the right of indemnification granted to directors.

         The foregoing statements are specifically made subject to the detailed
         provisions of Section 33-770 et seq.

         Notwithstanding the fact that Connecticut law obligates the Registrant
         to indemnify only a director that was successful on the merits in a
         suit, under Article VIII, Section 2 of the Registrant's bylaws, the
         Registrant must indemnify both directors and officers of the Registrant
         who are parties or threaten to be parties to a legal proceeding by
         reason of his being or having been a director or officer of the
         Registrant for any expenses if he acted in good faith and in a manner
         he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
         the Company, and with respect to criminal proceedings, had no reason to
         believe his conduct was unlawful. Unless otherwise mandated by a court,
         no indemnification shall be made if such officer or director is
         adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance
         of his duty to the Registrant.

         Additionally, the directors and officers of Hartford and Hartford
         Securities Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") are covered under a
         directors and officers liability insurance policy issued to The
         Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.


<PAGE>
                                      -5-


         and its subsidiaries. Such policy will reimburse the Registrant for any
         payments that it shall make to directors and officers pursuant to law
         and will, subject to certain exclusions contained in the policy,
         further pay any other costs, charges and expenses and settlements and
         judgments arising from any proceeding involving any director or officer
         of the Registrant in his past or present capacity as such, and for
         which he may be liable, except as to any liabilities arising from acts
         that are deemed to be uninsurable.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
         Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and
         controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
         provisions, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
         Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
         public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
         In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
         (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
         by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
         successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
         such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
         securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion
         of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
         submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
         indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
         and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

RE:   PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUSTSEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO
      HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
      FILE NO: 333-66935

Dear Sir/Madam:

I have acted as General Counsel to Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company
(the "Company"), a Connecticut insurance company, and Putnam Capital Manager
Trust Separate Account Two (the "Account") in connection with the registration
of an indefinite amount of securities in the form of tax-deferred variable
annuity contracts (the "Contracts") with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. I have examined such documents
(including the Form N-4 Registration Statement) and reviewed such questions of
law as I considered necessary and appropriate, and on the basis of such
examination and review, it is my opinion that:

1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing as a
   stock life insurance company under the laws of the State of Connecticut
   and is duly authorized by the Insurance Department of the State of
   Connecticut to issue the Contracts.

2. The Account is a duly authorized and validly existing separate account
   established pursuant to the provisions of Section 38a-433 of the
   Connecticut Statutes.

3. To the extent so provided under the Contracts, that portion of the assets
   of the Account equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities with
   respect to the Account will not be chargeable with liabilities arising out
   of any other business that the Company may conduct.

4. The Contracts, when issued as contemplated by the Form N-4 Registration
   Statement, will constitute legal, validly issued and binding obligations
   of the Company.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form N-4
Registration Statement for the Contracts and the Account.

Sincerely,

/s/ Lynda Godkin

Lynda Godkin
