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

             Filed herewith as Exhibit 16.

<PAGE>

Item 27.     Number of Contract Owners

             As of November 30, 1999 there were 205,902 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. Section 33-771(a). Additionally, pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat.
Section 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
threatened to be parties to a legal proceeding by reason of his being or
having been a director or officer of the Registrant for any expenses if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the company, and with respect to criminal
proceedings, had no reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. Unless
otherwise mandated by a court, no indemnification shall be made if such
officer or director is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in
the performance of his duty to the Registrant.

Additionally, the directors and officers of Hartford and Hartford Securities
Distribution Company, Inc. ("HSD") are covered under a directors and officers
liability insurance policy issued to The Hartford Financial Services Group,
Inc. and its subsidiaries. Such policy will reimburse the Registrant for any
payments that it shall make to directors and

<PAGE>

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.

              (a) HSD acts as principal underwriter for the following investment

Item 32.      Undertakings

RE:      PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO
         HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
         FILE NO. 33-73572

Dear Sir/Madam:

I have acted as General Counsel to Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance
Company (the "Company"), a Connecticut insurance company, and Hartford Life
and Annuity Insurance Company 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
