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

          Filed herewith as Exhibit 16.

Item 27.  Number of Contract Owners

<PAGE>


                                      -3-

          As of November, 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. 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 becomes 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 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

<PAGE>


                                      -4-

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.

         companies:

         Information, or (2) a post card or similar written communication

RE:   PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT TWO
      HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
      FILE NO. 33-60702

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

Lynda Godkin
