     SELECT DIMENSIONS LIFE
     Modified Single Premium
     Variable Life Insurance Contracts
 
    [LOGO]
 
   This  prospectus describes Select Dimensions Life, a modified single premium
 variable life insurance  contract ("Contract" or  "Contracts") offered by  ITT
 Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company ("ITT Hartford") to applicants age
 90  and under. The Contract lets the  Contract Owner pay a single premium, and
 subject to restrictions, additional premiums.
 
   The Contract  is  a  modified  endowment contract  for  federal  income  tax
 purposes,   except   in   certain   cases   described   under   "Federal   Tax
 Considerations," page   . A LOAN, DISTRIBUTION OR OTHER AMOUNT RECEIVED FROM A
 MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT DURING  THE LIFE OF THE  INSURED WILL BE TAXED  TO
 THE  EXTENT OF ANY  ACCUMULATED INCOME IN  THE CONTRACT. ANY  AMOUNTS THAT ARE
 TAXABLE WITHDRAWALS WILL  BE SUBJECT  TO A  10% ADDITIONAL  TAX, WITH  CERTAIN
 EXCEPTIONS.
 
   Generally,  the minimum initial premium ITT Hartford will accept is $10,000.
 The initial premium will be allocated to the Money Market Portfolio. After the
 Right  to  Cancel  Period  has  expired,  the  amount  so  allocated  will  be
 transferred  to the Portfolios specified  in the Contract Owner's application.
 The following  underlying investment  portfolios  ("Portfolios") of  the  Dean
 Witter  Select Dimensions Investment Series are available under the Contracts:
 the  Money  Market  Portfolio,   the  North  American  Government   Securities
 Portfolio,  the  Diversified  Income Portfolio,  the  Balanced  Portfolio, the
 Utilities Portfolio,  the Dividend  Growth Portfolio,  the Value-Added  Market
 Portfolio, the Core Equity Portfolio, the American Value Portfolio, the Global
 Equity  Portfolio, the Developing  Growth Portfolio, and  the Emerging Markets
 Portfolio.
 
   There is no  guaranteed minimum Account  Value for a  Contract. The  Account
 Value  of a Contract will vary up or down to reflect the investment experience
 of the Portfolios to  which premiums have been  allocated. The Contract  Owner
 bears the investment risk for all amounts so allocated. The Contract continues
 in  effect while  the Cash  Surrender Value is  sufficient to  pay the monthly
 charges under the Contract ("Deduction Amount"). The contract may terminate if
 the cash surrender  value is  insufficient to  cover a  Deduction Amount,  and
 after  expiration of  a specified period,  no additional  premium payments are
 made.
 
   The Contracts provide for a Face Amount, which is the minimum death  benefit
 under  the Contract. The  death benefit ("Death Benefit")  may be greater than
 the Face Amount. The Account Value  will, and under certain circumstances  the
 Death  Benefit  of  the  Contract  may,  increase  or  decrease  based  on the
 investment experience of the Portfolios to which premiums have been allocated.
 However, while the Contract is in force, the Death Benefit will never be  less
 than  the Face  Amount. At  the death of  the Insured,  we will  pay the death
 proceeds ("Death Proceeds") to the  beneficiary. The Death Proceeds equal  the
 Death Benefit less any Indebtedness under the Contract.

 IT  MAY  NOT  BE  ADVANTAGEOUS  TO  PURCHASE  VARIABLE  LIFE  INSURANCE  AS  A
 REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR CURRENT LIFE INSURANCE  OR IF YOU ALREADY OWN A  VARIABLE
 LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACT.

                                    SUMMARY
 
THE CONTRACT
 
    The Contracts are life insurance contracts with death benefits, cash values,
and  other traditional  life insurance  features. The  Contracts are "variable."
Unlike the fixed benefits  of ordinary whole life  insurance, the Account  Value
will,  and the Death Benefit  may, increase or decrease  based on the investment
experience of  the  Portfolios  to  which  premiums  have  been  allocated.  The
Contracts  are  credited with  units  ("Accumulation Units")  to  calculate cash
values. The Contract Owner may transfer the cash values among the Portfolios.
 
    The Contracts can be issued on a single life or "last survivor" basis. For a
discussion of how last survivor  Contracts operate differently from single  life
Contracts, see "Last Survivor Contracts," page 18.
 
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT AND THE PORTFOLIOS
 
    Separate Account Five ("Separate Account") funds the variable life insurance
Contracts  offered  by this  prospectus. ITT  Hartford established  the Separate
Account pursuant to Wisconsin insurance law  and organized as a unit  investment
trust  registered  under  the  Investment Company  Act  of  1940.  The Contracts
currently offer twelve sub-accounts ("Sub-Accounts"), each investing exclusively
in a Portfolio. If  an initial premium  is submitted with  an application for  a
Contract,  it will be  allocated, within three  business days of  receipt at ITT
Hartford's Home Office, to the Money  Market Portfolio. After the expiration  of
the  Right to Cancel  Period, the values  in the Money  Market Portfolio will be
allocated to one or more of the Portfolios as specified in the Contract  Owner's
application. See "The Contract -- Allocation of Premiums," page 11.
 
    Currently,  the Portfolios of  the Dean Witter  Select Dimensions Investment
Series available under the Contracts are: the Money Market Portfolio, the  North
American  Government Securities Portfolio, the Diversified Income Portfolio, the
Balanced Portfolio, the Utilities Portfolio, the Dividend Growth Portfolio,  the
Value-Added  Market  Portfolio, the  Core Equity  Portfolio, the  American Value
Portfolio, the Global Equity Portfolio, the Developing Growth Portfolio, and the
Emerging Markets  Portfolio.  Applicants  should read  the  prospectus  for  the
Portfolios  accompanying this  prospectus in connection  with the  purchase of a
Contract. The investment objectives of the  Portfolios are as set forth in  "The
Separate Account," page 8.
 
    The  investment adviser for  all the Portfolios  is Dean Witter InterCapital
Inc. Dean Witter InterCapital Inc. retains a sub-investment adviser with respect
to some of the Portfolios. See "The Separate Account,"
page 8.
 
    In 1994 and 1995, the investment adviser has agreed to waive the  management
fee  and to reimburse the Fund for  all other expenses, except for any brokerage
fees and a portion  of organizational expenses. For  the period January 1,  1996
through  December 31,  1996, the investment  adviser will continue  to waive the
management fee and to reimburse the operating expenses to the extent they exceed
0.50% of daily net assets of the Portfolio or until such time as the  respective
Portfolio  has $50 million  of net assets,  whichever comes first.  There are no
12b-1 fees assessed against the underlying Portfolios. See the "The Fund and its
Management" within the Fund  Prospectus for a complete  description of the  fees
that  are payable  for fund  operating expenses  and the  conditions of  the fee
waiver.
 
PREMIUMS
 
    The Contract permits the Contract Owner  to pay a large single premium,  and
subject  to restrictions, additional  premiums. The Contract  Owner may choose a
minimum initial premium  of 80%,  90% or 100%  of the  Guideline Single  Premium
(based  on the Face Amount). Under current underwriting rules, which are subject
to change, Applicants between the ages of  45 and 80 who pay an initial  premium
of 100% of the Guideline Single Premium are eligible for simplified underwriting
without  a medical examination if they meet simplified underwriting standards as
evidenced in their responses in the application. For Contract Owners who pay  an
initial  premium of 80% or 90% of the  Guideline Single Premium or who are below
age 45 or above age 80,  standard underwriting applies, except that  substandard
underwriting  applies  only  in  those cases  that  represent  substandard risks
according to customary underwriting guidelines. Additional premiums are  allowed
if  they do  not cause the  Contract to  fail to meet  the definition  of a life
insurance contract under  Section 7702  of the  Code. ITT  Hartford may  require
evidence  of  insurability  for  any  additional  premiums  which  increase  the
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
Coverage Amount. Generally, the minimum initial premium ITT Hartford will accept
is  $10,000.  ITT  Hartford   may  accept  less   than  $10,000  under   certain
circumstances.  No  premium  will  be  accepted  which  does  not  meet  the tax
qualification guidelines for life insurance under the Code.
 
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
 
    On the Contract Date  and on each Monthly  Activity Date, ITT Hartford  will
deduct  a Deduction Amount from the Account  Value. The Deduction Amount will be
made pro  rata respecting  each Sub-Account  attributable to  the Contract.  The
Deduction  Amount  includes  a cost  of  insurance charge,  tax  expense charge,
administrative charge, and a mortality and expense risk charge. The monthly cost
of insurance charge is to cover  ITT Hartford's anticipated mortality costs.  In
addition,  ITT Hartford will deduct monthly from the Account Value a tax expense
charge equal to an annual rate of  0.40% for the first ten Contract Years.  This
charge  compensates ITT Hartford for premium taxes imposed by various states and
local jurisdictions and for federal taxes imposed under Section 848 of the Code.
The charge includes a premium tax deduction of 0.25% and a federal tax deduction
of 0.15%. The premium tax deduction represents an average premium tax of 2.5% of
premiums over  ten  years. ITT  Hartford  will  deduct from  the  Account  Value
attributable to the Separate Account a monthly administrative charge equal to an
annual  rate of 0.40%.  This charge compensates  ITT Hartford for administrative
expenses incurred  in  the  administration  of  the  Separate  Account  and  the
Contracts.  ITT Hartford will also deduct from the Account Value attributable to
the Separate Account a monthly charge equal  to an annual rate of 0.90% for  the
mortality  risks  and expense  risks  ITT Hartford  assumes  in relation  to the
variable portion of the Contracts. If the Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient
to cover a Deduction Amount  due on any Monthly  Activity Date the Contract  may
lapse. See "Deductions and Charges -- Monthly Deductions," page 12 and "Contract
Benefits and Rights -- Lapse and Reinstatement," page 17.
 
    If  the Account Value  on a Contract  Anniversary is less  than $50,000, ITT
Hartford will deduct on  such date an  Annual Maintenance Fee  of $30. This  fee
will help reimburse ITT Hartford for administrative and maintenance costs of the
Contracts. See "Deductions and Charges -- Annual Maintenance Fee," page 13.
 
    ITT  Hartford may set up a provision  for income taxes against the assets of
the Separate  Account.  See  "Deductions  and Charges  --  Charges  Against  The
Separate Account," page 14 and "Federal Tax Considerations," page 24.
 
    Applicants should review the prospectuses for the Portfolios which accompany
this  prospectus for a description of the charges assessed against the assets of
the Portfolios.
 
    Upon surrender of  the Contract  and partial  withdrawals in  excess of  the
Annual Withdrawal Amount, a contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed. In
Contract  Years 1 through  3, this charge  is 7.5% of  surrendered Account Value
attributable to premiums paid. In Contract Years 4 through 5, this charge is 6%.
In Contract Years 6 through 7, this charge is 4%. In Contract Years 8 through 9,
this charge  is  2%. After  the  9th Contract  Year,  there is  no  charge.  The
contingent  deferred sales  charge is  imposed to cover  a portion  of the sales
expense incurred by  ITT Hartford  in distributing the  Contracts. This  expense
includes  agents commissions, advertising and  the printing of prospectuses. See
"Deductions and Charges -- Contingent Deferred Sales Charge," page 14.
 
    During the first nine Contract Years, an additional premium tax charge  will
be  imposed on surrender or partial  withdrawals. See "Deductions and Charges --
Additional Premium Tax Charges," page 14.
 
    For a discussion of the tax consequences  of surrender of the Contract or  a
partial withdrawal, see "Federal Tax Considerations," page 24.
 
DEATH BENEFIT
 
    The  Contracts provide for a Face Amount  which is the minimum Death Benefit
under the Contract. The Death  Benefit may be greater  than the Face Amount.  At
the death of the Insured, we will pay the Death Proceeds to the beneficiary. The
Death Proceeds equal the Death Benefit less any Indebtedness under the Contract.
See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Death Benefit," page 14.
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
ACCOUNT VALUE
 
    The  Account Value of the Contract will  increase or decrease to reflect the
investment  experience  of  the  Portfolios  applicable  to  the  Contract   and
deductions  for the  monthly Deduction  Amount. There  is no  minimum guaranteed
Account Value and the  Contract Owner bears  the risk of  the investment in  the
Portfolios. See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Account Value," page 15.
 
CONTRACT LOANS
 
    A  Contract Owner may obtain one or both of two types of cash loans from ITT
Hartford. Both types of loans are secured by the Contract. At the time a loan is
requested, the aggregate amount  of all loans  (including the currently  applied
for  loan) may not  exceed 90% of the  difference of the  Account Value less any
contingent deferred  sales  charge and  due  and unpaid  Deduction  Amount.  See
"Contract Benefits and Rights -- Contract Loans," page 16.
 
LAPSE
 
    Under  certain circumstances a Contract may  terminate if the Cash Surrender
Value on any Monthly Activity Date  is less than the required Monthly  Deduction
Amount. ITT Hartford will give written notice to the Contract Owner and a 61 day
grace  period  during  which additional  amounts  may  be paid  to  continue the
Contract. See "Contract  Benefits and  Rights --  Contract Loans,"  page 16  and
"Lapse and Reinstatement," page 17.
 
CANCELLATION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
 
    An  applicant  has  a  limited  right to  return  his  or  her  Contract for
cancellation. If the applicant returns the  Contract, by mail or hand  delivery,
to ITT Hartford or to the agent who sold the Contract, to be cancelled within 10
days  after delivery of  the Contract to  the applicant (in  certain cases, this
free-look period is longer), ITT Hartford will return to the applicant within  7
days  thereafter the greater of the premiums paid for the Contract or the sum of
(1) the Account  Value on  the date  the returned  Contract is  received by  ITT
Hartford or its agent and (2) any deductions under Contract or by the Portfolios
for taxes, charges or fees.
 
    In  addition, once the Contract is in  effect it may be exchanged during the
first 24 months after  its issuance for a  permanent life insurance contract  on
the  life of the Insured without submitting proof of insurability. See "Contract
Benefits and Rights -- Cancellation and Exchange Rights," page 17.
 
TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
    The current Federal tax  law generally excludes  all death benefit  payments
from  the gross income of the Contract beneficiary. The Contracts generally will
be treated as  modified endowment  contracts. This  status does  not affect  the
Contracts' classification as life insurance, nor does it affect the exclusion of
death benefit payments from gross income. HOWEVER, LOANS, DISTRIBUTIONS OR OTHER
AMOUNTS  RECEIVED UNDER A MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACT ARE TAXED TO THE EXTENT OF
ACCUMULATED INCOME IN THE CONTRACT (GENERALLY, THE EXCESS OF ACCOUNT VALUE  OVER
PREMIUMS  PAID)  AND MAY  BE  SUBJECT TO  A 10%  PENALTY  TAX. SEE  "FEDERAL TAX
CONSIDERATIONS," PAGE 24.
 
                                  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.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
   
    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 Standard &  Poor's and AA+ by  Duff and Phelps on  the basis of its
claims paying ability. These ratings do not apply to the investment  performance
of the Sub-Accounts of the Separate Account. The ratings apply to ITT Hartford's
ability to meet its insurance obligations under the contract.
    
 
    ITT Hartford is subject to Connecticut law governing insurance companies and
is  regulated and  supervised by the  Connecticut Commissioner  of Insurance. An
annual statement in a prescribed form must be filed with that Commissioner on or
before March 1  in each year  covering the  operations of ITT  Hartford for  the
preceding  year and  its financial  condition on December  31 of  such year. Its
books and assets are subject to review or examination by the Commissioner or his
agents at all times, and  a full examination of  its operations is conducted  by
the  National Association of  Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC")  at least once in
every four years. In addition, ITT Hartford is subject to the insurance laws and
regulations of any jurisdiction in which  it sells its insurance contracts.  ITT
Hartford  is  also subject  to  various Federal  and  state securities  laws and
regulations.
 
                              THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
GENERAL
 
    Separate Account  Five ("Separate  Account") is  a separate  account of  ITT
Hartford  established on August 17,  1994 pursuant to the  insurance laws of the
State of Connecticut and  organized as a unit  investment trust registered  with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The  Separate Account meets  the definition of  "separate account" under federal
securities law. Under Connecticut  law, the assets of  the Separate Account  are
held  exclusively for  the benefit  of Contract  Owners and  persons entitled to
payments under  the Contracts.  The  assets for  the  Separate Account  are  not
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business which ITT Hartford
may conduct.
 
PORTFOLIOS
 
    The  underlying investment for  the Contracts are shares  of the Dean Witter
Select Dimensions Investment Series,  an open-end diversified series  investment
company  with multiple portfolios ("Portfolios"). The assets of each Sub-Account
of the Separate  Account are invested  exclusively in one  of the Portfolios.  A
Contract  Owner  may allocate  premiums  among the  Portfolios.  Contract Owners
should review the following brief  descriptions of the investment objectives  of
the  Portfolios in connection  with that allocation. There  is no assurance that
any of the Portfolios  will achieve its stated  objectives. Contract Owners  are
also  advised  to  read  the prospectus  for  the  Portfolios  accompanying this
prospectus for more detailed information.
 
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
 
    Seeks  high  current  income,  preservation  of  capital  and  liquidity  by
investing in the following money market instruments: U.S. Government securities,
obligations of U.S. regulated banks and savings institutions having total assets
of  more than $1  billion, or less than  $1 billion if  such are fully federally
insured as  to  principal (the  interest  may not  be  insured) and  high  grade
corporate debt obligations maturing in thirteen months or less.
 
NORTH AMERICAN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO
 
    Seeks  to earn a  high level of current  income while maintaining relatively
low  volatility  of  principal,  by  investing  primarily  in  investment  grade
fixed-income  securities issued or  guaranteed by the  U.S., Canadian or Mexican
governments.
 
DIVERSIFIED INCOME PORTFOLIO
 
    Seeks, as a primary objective, to earn  a high level of current income,  and
as  a secondary  objective, to  maximize total  return, but  only to  the extent
consistent with its primary  objective, by equally  allocating its assets  among
three  separate groupings  of fixed-income  securities. Up  to one-third  of the
securities in which  the Diversified  Income Portfolio may  invest will  include
securities   rated  Baa/BBB  or  lower.   See  the  special  considerations  for
investments for high yield securities disclosed in the Fund prospectus.

capital  appreciation, by investing in a  diversified portfolio of common stocks
and investment grade fixed-income securities.
 
UTILITIES PORTFOLIO

companies which are  represented in the  Standard & Poor's  500 Composite  Stock
Price Index.
 
CORE EQUITY PORTFOLIO
 
    Seeks  long-term growth of  capital by investing  primarily in common stocks
and securities convertible  into common  stocks issued by  domestic and  foreign
companies.
 
AMERICAN VALUE PORTFOLIO
 
    Seeks   long-term  capital  growth  consistent  with  an  effort  to  reduce
volatility, by investing principally in common stock of companies in  industries
which,  at the  time of the  investment, are  believed to be  undervalued in the
marketplace.
 
GLOBAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
 
    Seeks a high level of total return on its assets primarily through long-term
capital growth, and to a lesser extent, from income, through investments in  all
types  of  common stocks  and equivalents  (such  as convertible  securities and
warrants), preferred stocks and  bonds, and other  debt obligations of  domestic
and foreign companies, governments, and international organizations.
 
DEVELOPING GROWTH PORTFOLIO
 
    Seeks  long-term capital growth  by investing primarily  in common stocks of
smaller and  medium-sized  companies that,  in  the opinion  of  the  Investment
Manager,  have the potential for growing more rapidly than the economy and which
may benefit from new products or services, technological developments or changes
in management.
 
EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIO
 
    Seeks long-term  capital  appreciation  by  investing  primarily  in  equity
securities  of  companies in  emerging  market countries.  The  Emerging Markets

securities  that  are  rated below  investment  grade or  are  unrated (commonly
referred to as "junk bonds"). See the special considerations for investments  in
high yield securities disclosed in the Fund prospectus.
 
    The  Fund is organized as a Massachusetts  business trust and is an open-end
diversified management  investment company  with multiple  portfolios under  the
Investment  Company  Act of  1940. Each  Portfolio  of the  Fund is  managed for
investment purposes as if it  were a separate fund  issuing a separate class  of
shares.  Shares of the Fund  are offered to the  Separate Account established by
ITT Hartford  or  one of  its  affiliated  companies specifically  to  fund  the
Contracts  and  certain  flexible premium  deferred  variable  annuity contracts
issued by ITT Hartford or one of  its affiliates as permitted by the  Investment
Company Act of 1940.
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
    The  Portfolios are managed in styles  similar to other investment companies
whose shares  are generally  offered to  the public  which are  managed by  Dean
Witter  InterCapital Inc., the  Investment Manager, or  by TCW Funds Management,
Inc., the Sub-Adviser  to certain  of the  Portfolios. The  portfolios of  these
other  investment companies may, however,  employ different investment practices
and may invest  in securities different  from those in  which their  counterpart
Portfolios  invest,  and  consequently  will not  have  identical  portfolios or
experience identical investment results.
 
    The Portfolios are available only to serve as the underlying investment  for
variable  annuity  and  variable  life  contracts.  A  full  description  of the
Portfolios, their  investment  objectives,  policies  and  restrictions,  risks,
charges  and expenses and other  aspects of their operation  is contained in the
accompanying Fund  Prospectus which  should  be read  in conjunction  with  this
Prospectus before investing, and in the Fund Statement of Additional Information
which  may  be  ordered  without  charge  from  Dean  Witter  Select  Dimensions
Investment Series.
 
    It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for  variable
life  insurance  separate accounts  and  variable annuity  separate  accounts to
invest in the Portfolios simultaneously. Although  ITT Hartford and the Fund  do
not  currently foresee any such disadvantages  either to variable life insurance
or variable annuity  contract owners, the  Fund's Board of  Trustees intends  to
monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between variable life
and  variable  annuity contract  owners and  to determine  what action,  if any,
should be taken in response thereto. If  the Board of Trustees of the Fund  were
to conclude that separate Portfolios should be established for variable life and
variable  annuity  separate  accounts,  ITT  Hartford  will  bear  the attendant
expenses.
 
    All investment income of and other distributions to each Sub-Account of  the
Separate  Account arising from the applicable Portfolio are reinvested in shares
of that Portfolio  at net asset  value. The  income and both  realized gains  or
losses  on the assets of each Sub-Account  of the Separate Account are therefore
separate and are credited to or  charged against the Sub-Account without  regard
to income, gains or losses from any other Sub-Account or from any other business
of  ITT  Hartford.  ITT  Hartford  will purchase  shares  in  the  Portfolios in
connection with premiums allocated to  the applicable Sub-Account in  accordance
with Contract Owners directions and will redeem shares in the Portfolios to meet
Contract obligations or make adjustments in reserves, if any. The Portfolios are
required  to redeem  Portfolio shares  at net  asset value  and to  make payment
within seven days.
 
    ITT Hartford reserves the right, subject to compliance with the law as  then
in  effect,  to make  additions  to, deletions  from,  or substitutions  for the
Separate Account and its Sub-Accounts which fund the Contracts. If shares of any
of the Portfolios should no  longer be available for  investment, or if, in  the
judgment  of  ITT Hartford's  management, further  investment  in shares  of any
Portfolio should become inappropriate in view of the purposes of the  Contracts,
ITT  Hartford  may substitute  shares of  another  Portfolio for  shares already
purchased,  or  to  be  purchased  in  the  future,  under  the  Contracts.   No
substitution  of securities  will take  place without  notice to  and consent of
Contract Owners  and  without prior  approval  of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission to the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940. Subject
to  Contract Owner  approval, ITT  Hartford also reserves  the right  to end the
registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 of the Separate Account or
any other separate  accounts of which  it is  the depositor which  may fund  the
Contracts.
 
    Each  Portfolio  is  subject to  investment  restrictions which  may  not be
changed without the approval of a majority of the shareholders of the Fund.  See
the accompanying prospectus for the Fund.
 
INVESTMENT ADVISER
 
    Dean  Witter InterCapital Inc. ("InterCapital" or the "Investment Manager"),

Company  Inc.,  to perform  the aforementioned  administrative services  for the
Portfolios. For  its services,  each  Portfolio pays  the Investment  Manager  a
monthly   fee.  See  the  accompanying  Fund  Prospectus  for  a  more  complete
description of the Investment Manager and the respective fees of the Portfolios.
 
    With regard  to  the North  American  Government Securities  Portfolio,  the
Balanced   Portfolio,  the  Core  Equity  Portfolio  and  the  Emerging  Markets
Portfolio, under a  Sub-Advisory Agreement  between TCW  Funds Management,  Inc.
(the  "Sub-Adviser") and the Investment  Manager, the Sub-Adviser provides these
Portfolios with investment advice and portfolio management, in each case subject
to the overall supervision of the Investment Manager. The Sub-Adviser's  address
is 865 South Figueroa Street, Suite 1800, Los Angeles, California 90017.
 
                                  THE CONTRACT
 
APPLICATION FOR A CONTRACT
 
    Individuals wishing to purchase a Contract must submit an application to ITT
Hartford.  A Contract will  be issued only on  the lives of  insureds age 90 and
under  who  supply  evidence  of  insurability  satisfactory  to  ITT  Hartford.
Acceptance  is subject  to ITT  Hartford's underwriting  rules and  ITT Hartford
reserves the right to  reject an application for  any reason. IF AN  APPLICATION
FOR  A CONTRACT IS  REJECTED, THEN YOUR  INITIAL PREMIUM WILL  BE RETURNED ALONG
WITH AN  ADDITIONAL  AMOUNT FOR  INTEREST,  BASED  ON THE  CONTRACT  RATE  BEING
CREDITED  BY ITT HARTFORD.  No change in  the terms or  conditions of a Contract
will be made without the consent of the Contract Owner.
 
    The Contract will be effective on the Contract Date only after ITT  Hartford
has  received  all outstanding  delivery requirements  and received  the initial
premium. The Contract  Date is the  date used to  determine all future  cyclical
transactions  on the Contract, e.g., Monthly  Activity Date, Contract Months and
Contract Years. The Contract Date may be prior to, or the same as, the date  the
Contract is issued ("Issue Date").
 
    If  the  Coverage Amount  is  over then  current  limits established  by ITT
Hartford, the initial  payment will  not be  accepted with  the application.  In
other  cases where we receive the initial  payment with the application, we will
provide fixed conditional insurance during  underwriting according to the  terms
of  a conditional receipt. The fixed conditional insurance will be the insurance
applied for,  up to  a  maximum that  varies by  age.  If no  fixed  conditional
insurance  was  in effect,  on Contract  delivery we  will require  a sufficient
payment to place the insurance in force.
 
PREMIUMS
 
    The Contract permits the Contract Owner  to pay a large single premium,  and
subject  to restrictions, additional  premiums. The Contract  Owner may choose a
minimum initial premium  of 80%,  90% or 100%  of the  Guideline Single  Premium
(based  on the Face Amount). Under current underwriting rules, which are subject
to change, Applicants between ages 45 and 80 who pay an initial premium of  100%
of  the Guideline  Single Premium (subject  to then current  premium limits) are
eligible for simplified underwriting without a medical examination if they  meet
simplified  underwriting  standards  as  evidenced  in  their  responses  in the
application. For Contract Owners who pay an initial premium of 80% or 90% of the
Guideline Single Premium  or who  are below  age 45  or above  age 80,  standard
underwriting applies, except that substandard underwriting applies only in those
cases  that  represent  substandard risks  according  to  customary underwriting
guidelines. Additional premiums are allowed if they do not cause the Contract to
fail to meet the definition of a  life insurance contract under Section 7702  of
the  Code. ITT Hartford may require  evidence of insurability for any additional
premiums which  increase the  Coverage Amount.  Generally, the  minimum  initial
premium  ITT Hartford will accept is $10,000.  ITT Hartford may accept less than
$10,000 under certain circumstances. No premium will be accepted which does  not
meet the tax qualification guidelines for life insurance under the Code.
 
ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
 
    Within  three business  days of receipt  of a completed  application and the
initial premium at ITT  Hartford's Home Office, ITT  Hartford will allocate  the
entire  premium to the Money Market Portfolio. After the expiration of the Right
To Cancel  Period  the Account  Value  in the  Money  Market Portfolio  will  be
allocated  among the  Portfolios in  whole percentages  to purchase Accumulation
Units in  the applicable  Sub-Accounts  as the  Contract  Owner directs  in  the
application. Premiums received on or after the expiration of the Right to Cancel
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
Period  will be allocated among the  Sub-Accounts to purchase Accumulation Units
in such Sub-Accounts as  directed by the  Contract Owner or,  in the absence  of
directions, as specified in the original application. The number of Accumulation
Units  in each Sub-Account to  be credited to a  Contract (including the initial
allocation  to  the  Money  Market  Portfolio)  will  be  determined  first   by
multiplying  the premium by the percentage to  be allocated to each Portfolio to
determine the portion  to be  invested in the  Sub-Account. Each  portion to  be
invested  in each Sub-Account is then divided  by the Accumulation Unit Value of
that particular Sub-Account next computed after receipt of the payment.
 
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUES
 
    The Accumulation Unit Value  for each Sub-Account will  vary to reflect  the
investment experience of the applicable Portfolio 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 Sub-Account is the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio
at  the end  of the Valuation  Period (plus  the per share  dividends or capital
gains by that Portfolio if the  ex-dividend date occurs in the Valuation  Period
then  ended)  divided by  the net  asset  value per  share of  the corresponding
Portfolio at the beginning of the  Valuation Period. Applicants should refer  to
the  prospectus  for  the  Portfolios  which  accompany  this  prospectus  for a
description  of  how  the  assets  of  each  Portfolio  are  valued  since  such
determination  has  a  direct bearing  on  the  Accumulation Unit  Value  of the
Sub-Account and therefore the Account Value  of a Contract. See also,  "Contract
Benefits and Rights -- Account Value," page 15.
 
    All  valuations  in  connection  with  a  Contract,  e.g.,  with  respect to
determining Account  Value  and Cash  Surrender  Value and  in  connection  with
Contract Loans, or calculation of Death Benefits, or with respect to determining
the number of Accumulation Units to be credited to a Contract with each premium,
other  than the initial premium, will be made on the date the request or payment
is received by ITT Hartford at its Home Office if such date is a Valuation  Day;
otherwise such determination will be made on the next succeeding date which is a
Valuation Day.
 
                             DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
 
MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS
 
    On  the Contract Date, and on each  Monthly Activity Date after the Contract
Date, ITT Hartford will deduct an  amount ("Deduction Amount") to cover  charges
and  expenses incurred  in connection  with a  Contract. Each  monthly Deduction
Amount will  be deducted  pro rata  from each  Sub-Account attributable  to  the
Contract  such that the proportion of Account Value of the Contract attributable
to each  Sub-Account  remains the  same  before  and after  the  deduction.  The
Deduction  Amount will vary from month to  month. If the Cash Surrender Value is
not sufficient to cover a Deduction Amount due on any Monthly Activity Date, the
Contract  may  lapse.   See  "Contract   Benefits  and  Rights   --  Lapse   and
Reinstatement,"  page 17. The  following is a summary  of the monthly deductions
and charges which constitute the Deduction Amount:
 
    COST OF  INSURANCE  CHARGE:    The  cost  of  insurance  charge  covers  ITT
Hartford's  anticipated  mortality  costs for  standard  and  substandard risks.
Current cost of insurance rates are lower  after the 10th Contract Year and  are
based on whether 100%, 90% or 80% of the Guideline Single Premium has been paid.
The  current cost  of insurance  charge will not  exceed the  guaranteed cost of
insurance charge. This charge is a guaranteed maximum monthly rate multiplied by
the Coverage  Amount on  the Contract  Date or  any Monthly  Activity Date.  For
standard  risks, the  guaranteed cost  of insurance  rate is  based on  the 1980
Commissioners Standard  Ordinary Mortality  Table,  age last  birthday.  (Unisex
rates  may be required in some states.)  A table of guaranteed cost of insurance
rates per  $1,000 will  be  included in  each  Contract; however,  ITT  Hartford
reserves  the right to use rates less than those shown in the table. Substandard
risks will be charged at  a higher cost of insurance  rate that will not  exceed
rates  based on a multiple of the 1980 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality
Table,  age  last  birthday.  The  multiple  will  be  based  on  the  insured's
substandard rating.
 
    The  Coverage Amount  is first  set on  the Contract  Date and  then on each
Monthly Activity Date.  On such days,  it is  the Face Amount  less the  Account
Value  subject to a  Minimum Coverage Amount. The  Coverage Amount remains level
between the Monthly Activity Dates.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
    The Coverage Amount may be adjusted to continue to qualify the Contracts  as
life  insurance contracts under the current Federal tax law. Under that law, the
Minimum Coverage  Amount is  a stated  percentage of  the Account  Value of  the
Contract  determined  on  each  Monthly  Activity  Date.  The  percentages  vary
according to the attained age of the Insured.
 
EXAMPLE:
 
    Face Amount = $100,000
    Account Value on the Monthly Activity Date = $30,000
    Insured's attained age = 40
    Minimum Coverage Amount percentage for age 40 = 150%
 
    On the  Monthly Activity  Date,  the Coverage  Amount  is $70,000.  This  is
calculated  by  subtracting  the  Account Value  on  the  Monthly  Activity Date
($30,000) from  the  Face  Amount  ($100,000), subject  to  a  possible  Minimum
Coverage Amount adjustment. This Minimum Coverage Amount is determined by taking
a  percentage of the Account  Value on the Monthly  Activity Date. In this case,
the Minimum Coverage Amount is $45,000 (150% of $30,000). Since $45,000 is  less
than  the  Face  Amount  less  the Account  Value  ($70,000),  no  adjustment is
necessary. Therefore, the Coverage Amount will be $70,000.
 
    Assume that the Account Value in the above example was $50,000. The  Minimum
Coverage  Amount would be $75,000 (150% of  $50,000). Since this is greater than
the Face Amount less  the Account Value ($50,000),  the Coverage Amount for  the
Contract  Month  is  $75,000. (For  an  explanation  of the  Death  Benefit, see
"Contract Benefits and Rights" on page 14.)
 
    Because the Account  Value and,  as a result,  the Coverage  Amount under  a
Contract  may vary from  month to month,  the cost of  insurance charge may also
vary on each Monthly Activity Date.
 
    TAX EXPENSE CHARGE:  ITT Hartford will deduct monthly from the Account Value
a tax expense charge equal to an annual rate of 0.40% for the first ten Contract
Years. This charge compensates ITT Hartford for premium taxes imposed by various
states and local jurisdictions and for  federal taxes imposed under Section  848
of  the Code. The charge includes a premium tax deduction of 0.25% and a federal
tax deduction of 0.15%. The 0.25% premium tax deduction over ten Contract  Years
approximates  ITT Hartford's average expenses for  state and local premium taxes
(2.5%). Premium taxes vary, ranging from zero to more than 4.0%. The premium tax
deduction is made whether or not any  premium tax applies. The deduction may  be
higher  or lower than  the premium tax  imposed. However, ITT  Hartford does not
expect to make  a profit from  this deduction. The  0.15% federal tax  deduction
helps  reimburse  ITT Hartford  for approximate  expenses incurred  from federal
taxes under Section 848 of the Code.  The federal tax deduction is a factor  ITT
Hartford  must  use  when  computing the  maximum  sales  load  chargeable under
Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
 
    ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE:  ITT  Hartford will deduct  monthly from the  Account
Value  attributable to the Separate Account an administrative charge equal to an
annual rate of 0.40%.  This charge compensates  ITT Hartford for  administrative
expenses  incurred  in  the  administration  of  the  Separate  Account  and the
Contracts.
 
    MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK  CHARGE:  ITT Hartford  will deduct monthly  from
the  Account Value  attributable to  the Separate Account  a charge  equal to an
annual rate of  0.90% for  the mortality risks  and expense  risks ITT  Hartford
assumes in relation to the variable portion of the Contracts. The mortality risk
assumed  is that the cost of insurance charges specified in the Contract will be
insufficient to meet  claims. ITT  Hartford also assumes  a risk  that the  Face
Amount  (the minimum Death Benefit) will exceed  the Coverage Amount on the date
of death plus the Account Value on the date ITT Hartford receives written notice
of death. The  expense risk  assumed is that  expenses incurred  in issuing  and
administering  the Contracts will  exceed the administrative  charges set in the
Contract. ITT Hartford may profit from the mortality and expense risk charge and
may use any profits for any proper purpose, including any difference between the
cost it incurs in distributing the Contracts and the proceeds of the  contingent
deferred sales charge.
 
    ANNUAL  MAINTENANCE FEE:  If the Account  Value on a Contract Anniversary is
less than $50,000, ITT Hartford will  deduct on such date an Annual  Maintenance
Fee  of $30. This  fee will help  reimburse ITT Hartford  for administrative and
maintenance costs  of  the Contracts.  The  sum of  the  monthly  administrative
charges  and the annual  maintenance fee will  not exceed the  cost ITT Hartford
incurs in providing administrative services under the Contracts.
 
                                       13
<PAGE>
TAXES CHARGED AGAINST THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
    Currently, no charge  is made  to the  Separate Account  for federal  income
taxes  that  may be  attributable  to the  Separate  Account. ITT  Hartford may,
however, make such  a charge in  the future.  Charges for other  taxes, if  any,
attributable to the Separate Account may also be made.
 
CHARGES AGAINST THE PORTFOLIOS
 
    The  Separate Account purchases shares of the Portfolios at net asset value.
The net asset value  of the Portfolio shares  reflects investment advisory  fees
and  administrative expenses already deducted from the assets of the Portfolios.
These charges are described in the prospectus for the Portfolios.
 
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
 
    Upon surrender of  the Contract  and partial  withdrawals in  excess of  the
Annual Withdrawal Amount, a contingent deferred sales charge may be assessed. In
Contract  Years 1 through  3, this charge  is 7.5% of  surrendered Account Value
attributable to premiums paid. In Contract Years 4 through 5, this charge is 6%.
In Contract Years 6 through 7, this charge is 4%. In Contract Years 8 through 9,
this charge is 2%. After the 9th Contract Year, there is no charge.
 
    In determining  the  contingent deferred  sales  charge and  the  additional
premium  tax charge discussed below, any  surrender or partial withdrawal during
the first ten Contract Years  will be deemed first  from earnings and then  from
premiums  paid. If an amount  equal to all premiums  paid has been withdrawn, no
charge will be assessed on a withdrawal of the remaining Account Value.
 
    The contingent deferred sales  charge is imposed to  cover a portion of  the
sales  expense  incurred by  ITT Hartford  in  distributing the  Contracts. This
expense  includes   agents  commissions,   advertising  and   the  printing   of
prospectuses.
 
    See  "Contract Benefits  and Rights  -- Amount  Payable on  Surrender of the
Contract," page 16.
 
PREMIUM TAX CHARGE
 
    During the first nine Contract Years, an additional premium tax charge  will
be  imposed  on surrender  or partial  withdrawals.  The additional  premium tax
charge is  shown below,  as a  percent  of Account  Value, at  the end  of  each
Contract Year:
 
<TABLE>

               10+           0.00%
</TABLE>
 
    After  the ninth  Contract Year,  no additional  premium tax  charge will be
imposed.
 
                          CONTRACT BENEFITS AND RIGHTS
 
DEATH BENEFIT
 
    While inforce, the Contract provides for  the payment of the Death  Proceeds
to  the named beneficiary  when the Insured  under the Contract  dies. The Death
Proceeds payable  to the  beneficiary equal  the Death  Benefit less  any  loans
outstanding.  The Death Benefit equals the greater of (1) the Face Amount or (2)
the Account Value  multiplied by  a specified percentage.  The percentages  vary
according to the attained age of
 
                                       14
<PAGE>
the Insured and are specified in the Contract. Therefore, an increase in Account
Value  may increase the  Death Benefit. However, because  the Death Benefit will
never be less than the Face Amount, a decrease in Account Value may decrease the
Death Benefit but never below the Face Amount.
 
EXAMPLES:
 
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                    A            B
                                               -----------  -----------
<S>                                            <C>          <C>
Face Amount:                                   $   100,000  $   100,000
Insured's Age:                                          40           40
Account Value on Date of Death:                     46,500       34,000
Specified Percentage:                                 250%         250%
</TABLE>
 
    In Example  A, the  Death  Benefit equals  $116,250,  i.e., the  greater  of
    $100,000  (the Face Amount)  or $116,250 (the  Account Value at  the Date of
    Death of  $46,500, multiplied  by the  specified percentage  of 250%).  This
    amount  less any outstanding  loans constitutes the  Death Proceeds which we
    would pay to the beneficiary.
 
    In Example B, the death benefit  is $100,000, i.e., the greater of  $100,000
    (the Face Amount) or $85,000 (the Account Value of $34,000 multiplied by the
    specified percentage of 250%).
 
    All  or part of  the Death Proceeds may  be paid in cash  or applied under a
"Payment Option." See "Other Matters -- Payment Options," page 19.
 
ACCOUNT VALUE
 
    The Account Value of a Contract will be computed on each Valuation Day.  The
Account  Value will vary to reflect the investment experience of the Portfolios,
the value of the  Loan Account and  the monthly Deduction  Amounts. There is  no
minimum guaranteed Account Value.
 
    The Account Value of a particular Contract is related to the net asset value
of  the Portfolios to  which premiums on  the Contract have  been allocated. The
Account Value on any  Valuation Day is calculated  by multiplying the number  of
Accumulation  Units  credited to  the  Contract in  each  Sub-Account as  of the
Valuation Day  by the  Accumulation  Unit Value  of  that Sub-Account  and  then
summing  the result for  all the Sub-Accounts  credited to the  Contract and the
value of the Loan Account. See "The Contract -- Accumulation Unit Values,"  page
12.
 
TRANSFER OF ACCOUNT VALUE
 
    While  the Contract remains in effect and subject to ITT Hartford's transfer
rules then in effect,  the Contract Owner  may request that part  or all of  the
Account  Value of a particular Sub-Account be transferred to other Sub-Accounts.
ITT Hartford reserves the right to restrict  the number of such transfers to  no
more  than 12 per Contract Year with  no two transfers being made on consecutive
Valuation Days. However, there are no restrictions on the number of transfers at
the present time. Transfers may  be made by written  request or by calling  toll
free  1-800-231-5453. Telephone transfers  may not be  permitted in some states.
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  modify the  right to  reallocate Account  Value among  the
Sub-Accounts  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 period  between each transfer, not
accepting transfer requests of  an agent acting under  the power of attorney  on
behalf  of more than one Contract Owner,  or limiting the dollar amount that may
be transferred among  the Sub-Accounts at  one time. These  restrictions may  be
applied  in any manner  reasonably designed to  prevent any use  of the transfer
right that  ITT Hartford  considered  to be  disadvantageous to  other  Contract
Owners.
 
                                       15
<PAGE>
    As  a result of a transfer, the number of Accumulation Units credited to the
Sub-Account from  which the  transfer is  made  will be  reduced by  the  number
obtained  by dividing the  amount transferred by the  Accumulation Unit Value of
that Sub-Account  on  the  Valuation  Day ITT  Hartford  receives  the  transfer
request.  The number of Accumulation Units  credited to the Sub-Account to which
the transfer is made will  be increased by the  number obtained by dividing  the
amount  transferred by  the Accumulation Unit  Value of that  Sub-Account on the
Valuation Day ITT Hartford receives the transfer request.
 
CONTRACT LOANS
 
    While the Contract is  in effect, a Contract  Owner may obtain, without  the
consent  of  the beneficiary  (provided the  designation  of beneficiary  is not
irrevocable), one or both  of two types  of cash loans  from ITT Hartford.  Both
types  of loans are secured by the  Contract. The aggregate loans (including the
currently applied for loan) may not exceed  at the time a loan is requested  90%
of  the Account  Value less  any contingent  deferred sales  charge and  due and
unpaid Deduction Amount.
 
    The  loan  amount  will  be  transferred  pro  rata  from  each  Sub-Account
attributable  to the Contract (unless the Contract Owner specifies otherwise) to
the Loan Account. The amounts allocated  to the Loan Account will bear  interest
at  a rate of  4% per annum (6%  for "Preferred Loans"). The  amount of the Loan
Account that equals the  difference between the Account  Value and the total  of
all  premiums paid under the Contract is considered a "Preferred Loan." The loan
interest rate that ITT Hartford  will charge on all loans  is 6% per annum.  The
difference  between the value of  the Loan Account and  the Indebtedness will be
transferred on a  pro-rata basis from  the Sub-Accounts to  the Loan Account  on
each Monthly Activity Date.
 
    If  the aggregate  outstanding loan(s) secured  by the  Contract exceeds the
Account Value of the Contract less any contingent deferred sales charges and due
and unpaid  Deduction Amount,  ITT  Hartford will  give  written notice  to  the
Contract Owner that unless ITT Hartford receives an additional payment within 61
days  to reduce the  aggregate outstanding loan(s) secured  by the Contract, the
Contract may lapse.
 
    All or any part of  any loan secured by a  Contract may be repaid while  the
Contract is still in effect. When loan repayments or interest payments are made,
they  will  be allocated  among the  Sub-Account(s) in  the same  percentage as,
premiums  are  allocated  (unless  the  Contract  Owner  requests  a   different
allocation)  and an amount equal  to the payment will  be deducted from the Loan
Account. Any outstanding loan at the end of a Grace Period must be repaid before
the Contract will be reinstated. See "Contract Benefits and Rights -- Lapse  and
Reinstatement," page 17.
 
    A  loan, whether or not repaid, will  have a permanent effect on the Account
Value because the investment results of each Sub-Account will apply only to  the
amount  remaining in  such Sub-Accounts. The  longer a loan  is outstanding, the
greater  the  effect  is  likely  to  be.  The  effect  could  be  favorable  or
unfavorable.  If  the  Sub-Accounts earn  more  than  4% per  annum,  the annual
interest rate for amounts held in  the Loan Account, a Contract Owner's  Account
Value  will not increase as rapidly  as it would have had  no loan been made. If
the Sub-Accounts earn less than 4% per annum, the Contract Owner's Account Value
will be greater  than it would  have been had  no loan been  made. Also, if  not
repaid,  the aggregate  outstanding loan(s) will  reduce the  Death Proceeds and
Cash Surrender Value otherwise payable.
 
AMOUNT PAYABLE ON SURRENDER OF THE CONTRACT
 
    While the Contract  is in effect,  a Contract Owner  may elect, without  the
consent  of  the beneficiary  (provided the  designation  of beneficiary  is not
irrevocable), to  fully surrender  the Contract.  Upon surrender,  the  Contract
Owner  will  receive the  Cash  Surrender Value  determined  as of  the  day ITT
Hartford receives the Contract Owner's written request or the date requested  by
the  Contract  Owner whichever  is later.  The Cash  Surrender Value  equals the
Account Value less any contingent deferred sales charges and additional  premium
tax  charge and all Indebtedness. ITT Hartford will pay the Cash Surrender Value
of the Contract  within seven days  of receipt  by ITT Hartford  of the  written
request  or on  the effective  surrender date  requested by  the Contract Owner,
whichever is later. The Contract  will terminate on the  date of receipt of  the
written  request, or the  date the Contract  Owner requests the  surrender to be
effective, whichever  is later.  For a  discussion of  the tax  consequences  of
surrendering the Contract, see "Federal Tax Considerations," page 24.
 
    If  the Contract Owner chooses to apply  the surrender proceeds to a payment
option (see  "Other  Matters  --  Payment Options,"  page  19),  the  contingent
deferred  sales charge will not be imposed  to the surrender proceeds applied to
the option.  In  other  words,  the  surrender  proceeds  will  equal  the  Cash
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
Surrender  Value  without reduction  for the  contingent deferred  sales charge.
However, the additional premium tax charge, if applicable, will be deducted from
the surrender proceeds to be applied, and amounts withdrawn from Options 1, 5 or
6 will be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable.
 
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS
 
    While the Contract  is in  effect, a Contract  Owner may  elect, by  written
request,  to make  partial withdrawals from  the Cash Surrender  Value. The Cash
Surrender Value, after partial  withdrawal, must at  least equal ITT  Hartford's
minimum amount rules then in effect; otherwise, the request will be treated as a
request  for full  surrender. The partial  withdrawal will be  deducted pro rata
from each Sub-Account, unless the  Contract Owner instructs otherwise. The  Face
Amount  will be reduced proportionate to the  reduction in the Account Value due
to the partial withdrawal. Partial withdrawals  will be deemed to be first  from
earnings,  if any, and then from premiums paid. Partial withdrawals in excess of
the Annual Withdrawal Amount  will be subject to  the contingent deferred  sales
charge  and any additional  premium tax charges. See  "Deductions and Charges --
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge, Premium Tax  Charge." For a discussion of  the
tax  consequences of partial withdrawals, see "Federal Tax Considerations," page
24.
 
BENEFITS AT MATURITY
 
    If the Insured  is living  on the "Maturity  Date" (the  anniversary of  the
Contract  Date on which the Insured is age 100), on surrender of the Contract to
ITT Hartford, ITT  Hartford will pay  to the Contract  Owner the Cash  Surrender
Value.  In such case, the Contract will  terminate and ITT Hartford will have no
further obligations under the  Contract. (The Maturity Date  may be extended  by
rider where approved, but see "Income Taxation of Contract Benefits.")
 
LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
 
    The  Contract  will  remain in  effect  until  the Cash  Surrender  Value is
insufficient to cover  a Deduction Amount  due on a  Monthly Activity Date.  ITT
Hartford  will notify the Contract  Owner of the deficiency  in writing and will
provide a 61 day period  ("Grace Period") to pay  an amount sufficient to  cover
the Deduction Amounts Due.
 
    The  Notice will indicate  the amount that  must be paid.  The Contract will
continue through the Grace Period, but if no additional premium payment is made,
it will terminate at the  end of the Grace Period.  If the person insured  under
the  Contract dies during the Grace Period, the Death Proceeds payable under the
Contract will  be  reduced  by  the Deduction  Amount(s)  due  and  unpaid.  See
"Contract Benefits and Rights -- Death Benefit," page 14.
 
    If  the Contract lapses,  the Contract Owner may  apply for reinstatement of
the Contract  by  payment  of  the reinstatement  premium  (and  any  applicable
charges)  shown in the Contract. A request  for reinstatement may be made within
five years  of lapse.  If a  loan  was outstanding  at the  time of  lapse,  ITT
Hartford  will require repayment of the loan before permitting reinstatement. In
addition, ITT Hartford reserves  the right to  require evidence of  insurability
satisfactory to ITT Hartford.
 
CANCELLATION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
 
    An  Applicant has a limited right to  return a Contract for cancellation. If
the Contract is returned, by mail or personal delivery to ITT Hartford or to the
agent who sold the Contract,  to be cancelled within  10 days after delivery  of
the  Contract to the  Contract Owner (a  longer free-look period  is provided in
certain cases), ITT  Hartford will  return to the  Applicant within  7 days  the
greater of premiums paid for the Contract or the sum of (1) the Account Value on
the  date the returned Contract is received by ITT Hartford or its agent and (2)
any deductions under Contract or by the Portfolios for taxes, charges or fees.
 
    Once the Contract  is in effect,  it may  be exchanged during  the first  24
months  after its issuance, for a  non-variable flexible premium adjustable life
insurance contract offered  by ITT Hartford  (or an affiliated  company) on  the
life  of the  Insured. No  evidence of  insurability will  be required.  The new
contract will  have, at  the election  of the  Contract Owner,  either the  same
Coverage Amount under the exchanged contract on the date of exchange or the same
Death  Benefit. The effective date, issue date and issue age will be the same as
existed under the exchanged  contract. If a contract  loan was outstanding,  the
entire  loan must  be repaid.  There may  be a  cash adjustment  required on the
exchange.
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
SUSPENSION OF VALUATION, PAYMENTS AND TRANSFERS
 
    ITT Hartford  will suspend  all  procedures requiring  valuation  (including
transfers,  surrenders and loans) on any day a national stock exchange is closed
or trading  is  restricted  due to  an  existing  emergency as  defined  by  the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission, or on  any day the  Commission has ordered
that the right of surrender of the Contracts be suspended for the protection  of
Contract Owners, until such condition has ended.
 
                            LAST SURVIVOR CONTRACTS
 
    The  Contracts  are offered  on  a single  life  and "last  survivor" basis.
Contracts sold on a last survivor basis operate in a manner almost identical  to
the single life version. The most important difference is that the last survivor
version  involves two Insureds and  the Death Proceeds are  paid on the death of
the last surviving Insured. The  other significant differences between the  last
survivor and single life versions are listed below:
 
        1.   The cost of insurance charges under the last survivor Contracts are
           determined in a manner that reflects the anticipated mortality of the
           two Insureds and the fact that the Death Benefit is not payable until
           the death  of  the second  Insured  to  die. See  the  last  survivor
           illustrations in "Appendix A," page 29.
 
        2.    To  qualify  for simplified  underwriting  under  a  last survivor
           Contract,  both  Insureds  must  meet  the  simplified   underwriting
           standards.
 
        3.  For a last survivor Contract to be reinstated, both Insureds must be
           alive on the date of reinstatement.
 
        4.    The  Contract provisions  regarding  misstatement of  age  or sex,
           suicide and incontestability apply to either Insured.
 
        5.  Additional tax disclosures applicable to last survivor Contracts are
           provided in "Federal Tax Considerations," page 24."
 
                                 OTHER MATTERS
 
VOTING RIGHTS
 
    In accordance  with  its interpretation  of  presently applicable  law,  ITT
Hartford  will vote the shares of the Portfolios at regular and special meetings
of the  shareholders of  the  Portfolios in  accordance with  instructions  from
Contract  Owners (or the assignee of the Contract,  as the case may be) having a
voting interest  in the  Separate Account.  The  number of  shares held  in  the
Separate  Account which are attributable to each Contract Owner is determined by
dividing the Contract  Owner's interest  in each  Sub-Account by  the net  asset
value  of the applicable shares of the Portfolios. ITT Hartford will vote shares
for which no instructions have been given and shares which are not  attributable
to  Contract Owners (i.e., shares owned by  ITT Hartford) in the same proportion
as it votes  shares for which  it has received  instructions. If the  Investment
Company  Act  of 1940  or  any rule  promulgated  thereunder should  be amended,
however, or if  ITT Hartford's present  interpretation should change  and, as  a
result,  ITT  Hartford determines  it is  permitted  to vote  the shares  of the
Portfolios in its own right, it may elect to do so.
 
    The voting  interests  of  the  Contract Owner  (or  the  assignee)  in  the
Portfolios  will be determined as follows: Contract Owners may cast one vote for
each full or fractional Accumulation Unit owned under the Contract and allocated
to a Sub-Account the assets of which are invested in the particular Portfolio on
the record date for the shareholder  meeting for that Portfolio. If, however,  a
Contract  Owner has  taken a loan  secured by the  Contract, amounts transferred
from the Sub-Account(s)  to the Loan  Account in connection  with the loan  (See
"Contract  Benefits  and  Rights  --  Contract  Loans,"  page  16)  will  not be
considered in determining the voting  interests of the Contract Owner.  Contract
Owners  should review  the prospectus  for the  Portfolios which  accompany this
prospectus to determine matters on which shareholders may vote.
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
    ITT Hartford may, when required  by state insurance regulatory  authorities,
disregard  voting instructions  if the instructions  require that  the shares be
voted so as to cause a change in the sub-classification or investment  objective
of  one or  more of  the Portfolios  or to  approve or  disapprove an investment
advisory contract for the Portfolios.
 
    In addition, ITT Hartford itself may disregard voting instructions in  favor
of  changes  initiated by  a  Contract Owner  in  the investment  policy  or the
investment adviser of the Portfolios  if ITT Hartford reasonably disapproves  of
such  changes. A  change would  be disapproved  only if  the proposed  change is
contrary to state  law or  prohibited by  state regulatory  authorities. If  ITT
Hartford  does disregard voting  instructions, a summary of  that action and the
reasons for such action will be included in the next periodic report to Contract
Owners.
 
STATEMENTS TO CONTRACT OWNERS
 
    ITT Hartford will maintain all records relating to the Separate Account  and
the  Sub-Accounts. At least once  each Contract Year, ITT  Hartford will send to
Contract Owners a statement showing the Coverage Amount and the Account Value of
the Contract  (indicating  the number  of  Accumulation Units  credited  to  the
Contract in each Sub-Account and the corresponding Accumulation Unit Value), and
any  outstanding loan secured by  the Contract as of  the date of the statement.
The statement  will also  show premium  paid, and  Deduction Amounts  under  the
Contract  since the  last statement, and  any other information  required by any
applicable law or regulation.
 
LIMIT ON RIGHT TO CONTEST
 
    ITT Hartford may not contest the validity of the Contract after it has  been
in  effect during the Insured's  lifetime for two years  from the Issue Date. If
the Contract is  reinstated, the two-year  period is measured  from the date  of
reinstatement.  Any increase in the Coverage Amount  as a result of a premium is
contestable for 2  years from its  effective date. In  addition, if the  Insured
commits  suicide in the  two-year period, or  such period as  specified in state
law, the  benefit  payable  will  be  limited to  the  Account  Value  less  any
Indebtedness.
 
MISSTATEMENT AS TO AGE AND SEX
 
    If  the age or sex  of the Insured is  incorrectly stated, the Death Benefit
will be appropriately adjusted as specified in the Contract.
 
PAYMENT OPTIONS
 
    The surrender proceeds or Death Proceeds under the Contracts may be paid  in
a  lump sum  or may  be applied to  one of  ITT Hartford's  payment options. The
minimum amount that may be applied under  a payment option is $5,000 unless  ITT
Hartford  consents to a lesser amount. Under Options 2, 3 and 4, no surrender or
partial withdrawals are  permitted after  payments commence.  Full surrender  or
partial withdrawals may be made from Options 1 or 6, but they are subject to the
contingent  deferred  sales  charge, if  applicable.  Only a  full  surrender is
allowed from Option 5.  A surrender from  Option 5 will also  be subject to  the
contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable.
 
    We  will pay interest of at least 3 1/2% per year on the Death Proceeds from
the date of the Insured's death to the date payment is made or a payment  option
is  elected.  At such  times, the  proceeds  are not  subject to  the investment
experience of the Separate Account.
 
    The following options are  available under the  Contracts (ITT Hartford  may
offer other payment options):
 
OPTION 1: INTEREST INCOME
 
    This  option offers  payments of  interest, at the  rate we  declare, on the
amount applied under  this option.  The interest rate  will never  be less  than
3 1/2% per year.
 
OPTION 2: LIFE ANNUITY
 
    A  life annuity is an  annuity payable during the  lifetime of the payee and
terminating with the last payment preceding the death of the payee. 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 a  payee 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.
 
                                       19
<PAGE>
OPTION 3: LIFE ANNUITY WITH 120, 180 OR 240 MONTHLY PAYMENTS CERTAIN
 
    This annuity option is an annuity payable monthly during the lifetime of the
payee 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 payee, payments have been  made
for less than the minimum elected number of months, then the present value as of
the date of the payee'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: JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR ANNUITY
 
    An annuity payable  monthly during  the joint lifetime  of the  payee 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 payee may elect that
the  payment to  the survivor  be less  than the  payment made  during the joint
lifetime of the payee and a designated second person.
 
    It would be  possible under this  option for a  payee 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 5: 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, request a full surrender
and receive,  within  seven days,  the  termination  value of  the  Contract  as
determined by ITT Hartford.
 
    In the event of the payee's death prior to the end of the designated period,
the  present  value  as of  the  date of  the  payee'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 5 is an option that does not involve life contingencies.
 
OPTION 6: DEATH PROCEEDS REMAINING WITH ITT HARTFORD
 
    Proceeds  from the Death Benefit left with ITT Hartford. These proceeds will
remain in the Sub-Accounts  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.
 
    VARIABLE AND FIXED ANNUITY  PAYMENTS:  When an  annuity is effected,  unless
otherwise  specified,  the  surrender proceeds  or  Death Proceeds  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 annuities options are also  available.
YOU SHOULD CONSIDER WHETHER THE ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS AMONG SUB-ACCOUNTS OF THE
SEPARATE  ACCOUNT  FOR  YOUR  ANNUITY  PAYMENTS  ARE  BASED  ON  THE  INVESTMENT
ALTERNATIVE BEST SUITED TO YOUR RETIREMENT NEEDS.
 
    VARIABLE ANNUITY:    The Contract  contains  tables indicating  the  minimum
dollar  amount of the first monthly payment under the optional variable forms of
annuity for each  $1,000 of value  of a Sub-Account.  The first monthly  payment
varies  according to the form and type of variable payment annuity selected. The
Contract contains  variable  payment  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  5% per  annum. The  total first  monthly
variable  annuity  payment  is  determined  by  multiplying  the  proceeds value
(expressed in thousands of dollars) of a Sub-Account by the amount of the  first
monthly payment per $1,000 of value obtained from the tables in the Contracts.
 
    The  amount of the first monthly variable  annuity payment is divided by the
value of an annuity unit  (an accounting unit of  measure used to calculate  the
value  of annuity payments) 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 current annuity unit value.
 
    LEVEL VARIABLE ANNUITY  PAYMENTS WOULD  BE PRODUCED IF  THE INVESTMENT  RATE
REMAINED CONSTANT AND EQUAL TO THE A.I.R. IN FACT, PAYMENTS WILL VARY UP OR DOWN
AS THE INVESTMENT RATE VARIES UP OR DOWN RELATIVE TO THE A.I.R.
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
    FIXED  ANNUITY:   Fixed annuity payments  are determined  by multiplying the
amount applied to the annuity by a  rate to be determined by ITT Hartford  which
is  no less than the  rate specified in the fixed  payment annuity tables in the
Contract. The annuity payment will remain level for the duration of the annuity.
 
    ITT Hartford will make any other arrangements for income payments as may  be
agreed on.
 
BENEFICIARY
 
    The applicant names the beneficiary in the application for the Contract. The
Contract  Owner may change the beneficiary (unless irrevocably named) during the
Insured's lifetime by  written request  to ITT  Hartford. If  no beneficiary  is
living  when the Insured dies,  the Death Proceeds will  be paid to the Contract
Owner if living; otherwise to the Contract Owner's estate.
 
ASSIGNMENT
 
    The Contract may be assigned as  collateral for a loan or other  obligation.
ITT  Hartford is  not responsible  for any payment  made or  action taken before
receipt of written notice  of such assignment. Proof  of interest must be  filed
with any claim under a collateral assignment.
 
DIVIDENDS
 
    No dividends will be paid under the Contracts.

                         DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS
 
    ITT  Hartford intends to sell the Contracts in all jurisdictions where it is
licensed to do  business. The  Contracts will be  sold by  life insurance  sales
representatives   who   represent   ITT   Hartford   and   who   are  registered
representatives of  Hartford Equity  Sales Company,  Inc. ("HESCO")  or  certain
other   independent  registered  broker-dealers.  Any  sales  representative  or
employee will  have been  qualified to  sell variable  life insurance  contracts
under  applicable Federal and state laws.  Each broker-dealer is registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and all are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
 
    Hartford  Securities  Distribution   Company,  Inc.   serves  as   Principal
Underwriter for the securities issued with respect to the Separate Account. Both
HESCO  and HSD are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hartford Life Insurance Company.
The principal business address of HESCO and HSD is the same as ITT Hartford.
 
    The maximum sales  commission payable  to ITT  Hartford agents,  independent
registered  insurance brokers,  and other  registered broker-dealers  is 6.0% of
initial and subsequent premiums. Additional annual compensation of no more  than
0.75%  of Account Value may be paid. From  time to time, ITT Hartford may pay or
permit other promotional incentives, in cash or credit or other compensation.
 
    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
variable  annuities  and  other investment  alternatives,  including comparisons
between  the  Contracts  and  the   characteristics  of  and  market  for   such
alternatives.
 
                  SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
 
    The  assets of the Separate Account are  held by ITT Hartford. The assets of
the Separate Account are kept physically segregated and held separate and  apart
from  the General Account of ITT Hartford. ITT Hartford maintains records of all
purchases and redemptions of shares of the Portfolio. Additional protection  for
the  assets  of  the Separate  Account  is  afforded by  ITT  Hartford's blanket
fidelity bond issued by Aetna Casualty  and Surety Company, in the aggregate  of
$50 million, covering all of the officers and employees of ITT Hartford.
 
                           FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
GENERAL
 
    SINCE  THE TAX LAW IS COMPLEX AND SINCE TAX CONSEQUENCES WILL VARY ACCORDING
TO THE ACTUAL STATUS OF THE CONTRACT OWNER INVOLVED, LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE MAY BE
NEEDED BY A  PERSON, EMPLOYER 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. This discussion
of Federal  tax considerations  is based  upon ITT  Hartford's understanding  of
current Federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted.
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
TAXATION OF ITT HARTFORD AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
    The  Separate Account is taxed as a part of ITT Hartford which is taxed as a
life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code").
Accordingly, the Separate Account will not  be taxed as a "regulated  investment
company"  under Subchapter M of the Code. Investment income and realized capital
gains on  the  assets  of  the  Separate  Account  (the  underlying  Funds)  are
reinvested  and  are  taken  into  account  in  determining  the  value  of  the
Accumulation Units (see "Contract Benefits and Right -- Account Value," on  page
15).  As  a  result,  such  investment income  and  realized  capital  gains are
automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contract.
 
    ITT Hartford does not expect to incur any Federal income tax on the earnings
or realized capital gains attributable to the Separate Account. Based upon  this
expectation,  no  charge is  currently being  made to  the Separate  Account for
Federal income taxes. If  ITT Hartford incurs income  taxes attributable to  the
Separate Account or determines that such taxes will be incurred, it may assess a
charge for such taxes against the Separate Account.
 
INCOME TAXATION OF CONTRACT BENEFITS
 
    For  Federal income  tax purposes, the  Contracts should be  treated as life
insurance contracts under Section  7702 of the Code.  The death benefit under  a
life  insurance  contract is  generally excluded  from the  gross income  of the
beneficiary. Also, a  life insurance Contract  Owner is generally  not taxed  on
increments  in the contract value until  the Contract is partially or completely
surrendered. Section 7702 limits the amount of premiums that may be invested  in
a  Contract that is treated  as life insurance. ITT  Hartford intends to monitor
premium levels to assure compliance with the Section 7702 requirements.
 
    During the first fifteen  Contract Years, an  "income first" rule  generally
applies  to distributions of  cash required to  be made under  Code Section 7702
because of a reduction in benefits under the Contract.
 
    The Maturity Date  Extension Rider  allows a  Contract Owner  to extend  the
Maturity  Date to the date  of the Insured's death. If  the Maturity Date of the
Contract is extended  by rider,  ITT Hartford  believes that  the Contract  will
continue  to be  treated as  a life  insurance contract  for federal  income tax
purposes after the scheduled Maturity Date. However, due to the lack of specific
guidance on  this issue,  the result  is not  certain. If  the Contract  is  not
treated  as a life insurance contract for  federal income tax purposes after the
scheduled Maturity Date, among other things,  the Death Proceeds may be  taxable
to  the recipient.  The Contract  Owner should  consult a  qualified tax adviser
regarding the possible adverse tax  consequences resulting from an extension  of
the scheduled Maturity Date.
 
LAST SURVIVOR CONTRACTS
 
    Although  ITT  Hartford believes  that the  last  survivor Contracts  are in
compliance with  Section 7702  of the  Code, the  manner in  which Section  7702
should  be applied  to certain features  of a joint  survivorship life insurance
contract is not  directly addressed  by Section 7702.  In the  absence of  final
regulations  or other guidance  issued under Section  7702, there is necessarily
some uncertainty whether  a last survivor  Contract will meet  the Section  7702
definition of a life insurance contract.
 
MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS
 
    A  life insurance  contract is  treated as  a "modified  endowment contract"
under Section 7702A of the Code if it meets the definition of life insurance  in
Section 7702 but fails the "seven-pay" test of Section 7702A. The seven-pay test
provides  that premiums cannot be paid at  a rate more rapidly than that allowed
by the  payment of  seven annual  premiums using  specified computational  rules
provided  in  Section 7702A(c).  The large  single  premium permitted  under the
Contract does  not meet  the specified  computational rules  for the  "seven-pay
test"  under Section 7702A(c). Therefore, the Contract will generally be treated
as a modified endowment  contract for federal income  tax purposes. However,  an
exchange  under Section  1035 of  the Code of  a life  insurance contract issued
before June 21, 1988 will not cause the new Contract to be treated as a modified
endowment contract if no additional premiums are paid and there is no change  in
the death benefit as the result of the exchange.
 
    A  contract that is  classified as modified  endowment contract is generally
eligible for the beneficial tax treatment  accorded to life insurance. That  is,
the  death  benefit is  excluded from  income  and increments  in value  are not
subject to current  taxation. However,  a loan, distributions  or other  amounts
received from a
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
modified  endowment contract during the life of the Insured will be taxed to the
extent of  any accumulated  income in  the contract  (generally, the  excess  of
account  value over premiums paid). Amounts that are taxable withdrawals will be
subject to a 10% additional tax, with certain exceptions.
 
    All modified endowment contracts that are issued within any calendar year to
the same Contract Owner by one company or its affiliates shall be treated as one
modified endowment contract in  determining the taxable portion  of any loan  or
distributions.
 
ESTATE AND GENERATION SKIPPING TAXES
 
    When  the Insured dies,  the Death Proceeds will  generally be includible in
the Contract  Owner's estate  for purposes  of federal  estate tax  if the  last
surviving  Insured owned the  Contract. If the  Contract Owner was  not the last
surviving Insured, the fair  market value of the  Contract would be included  in
the  Contract Owner's estate  upon the Contract Owner's  death. Nothing would be
includible in the last surviving Insured's estate if he or she neither  retained
incidents  of ownership at death  nor had given up  ownership within three years
before death.
 
    Federal estate tax is integrated with federal gift tax under a unified  rate
schedule. In general, estates less than $600,000 will not incur a federal estate
tax  liability. In addition, an unlimited marital deduction may be available for
federal estate and gift  tax purposes. The  unlimited marital deduction  permits
the  deferral of taxes until  the death of the  surviving spouse (when the Death
Proceeds would be available to pay taxes due and other expenses incurred).
 
    If the Contract Owner  (whether or not  he or she  is an Insured)  transfers
ownership  of  the Contract  to  someone two  or  more generations  younger, the
transfer may be  subject to  the generation-skipping transfer  tax, the  taxable
amount  being the  value of the  Contract. The  generation-skipping transfer tax
provisions generally apply to transfers which  would be subject to the gift  and
estate  tax  rules. Individuals  are generally  allowed an  aggregate generation
skipping transfer exemption of $1 million. Because these rules are complex,  the
Contract  Owner  should  consult  with  a  qualified  tax  adviser  for specific
information if ownership is passing to younger generations.
 
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
 
    Section 817 of  the Code provides  that a variable  life insurance  contract
(other  than a  pension plan  policy) will  not be  treated as  a life insurance
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  a life insurance 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 policy 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.
 
OWNERSHIP OF THE ASSETS IN THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
 
    In order for a variable life insurance 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
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
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.
 
LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASED FOR USE IN SPLIT DOLLAR ARRANGEMENTS
 
    On January 26, 1996, the IRS released a technical advice memorandum  ("TAM")
on  the  taxability of  life  insurance policies  used  in certain  split dollar
arrangements. A TAM, issued by the  National Office of the IRS, provides  advice
as  to the internal revenue laws, regulations, and related statutes with respect
to a specific  set of facts  and a specific  taxpayer. In the  TAM, among  other
things,  the IRS concluded that  an employee was subject  to current taxation on
the excess of the  cash surrender value  of the policy over  the premiums to  be
returned  to the employer. Purchasers  of life insurance policies  to be used in
split dollar arrangements are strongly advised  to consult with a qualified  tax
adviser to determine the tax treatment resulting from such an arrangement.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
 
    If  any amounts  are deemed  to be  current taxable  income to  the Contract
Owner, such  amounts will  be  subject to  federal  income tax  withholding  and
reporting, pursuant to the Code.
 
NON-INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP OF CONTRACTS
 
    Legislation  has recently been proposed which would limit certain of the tax
advantages now  afforded  non-individual  owners of  life  insurance  contracts.
Prospective  Contract  Owners which  are not  individuals  should consult  a tax
adviser to determine the status of  this proposed legislation and its  potential
impact on the purchaser.
 
OTHER
 
    Federal  estate  tax,  state and  local  estate, inheritance  and  other tax
consequences of  ownership,  or  receipt  of Contract  proceeds  depend  on  the
circumstances  of each  Contract Owner or  beneficiary. A tax  adviser should be
consulted to determine the impact of these taxes.
 
LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES BY NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS
 
    The discussion  above provides  general information  regarding U.S.  federal
income  tax consequences to life insurance  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 taxable distributions from
life  insurance policies at a  30% rate, unless a  lower treaty rate applies. In
addition, purchasers may be  subject to 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  a life insurance
policy purchase.

                                   APPENDIX A
                           ILLUSTRATIONS OF BENEFITS
 
    The  tables in Appendix A  illustrate the way in  which a Contract operates.
They show how the death benefit and surrender value could vary over an  extended
period  of time  assuming hypothetical gross  rates of return  equal to constant
after tax annual rates  of 0%, 6% and  12%. The tables are  based on an  initial
premium  of $10,000. A male age 45, a female  age 55 and a male age 65 with Face
Amounts of $40,161, $33,334 and  $19,380, respectively, are illustrated for  the
single  life Contract. The  illustrations for the  last survivor Contract assume
male and female  of equal  ages, including  age 55 and  65 for  Face Amounts  of
$44,053 and $27,778.
 
    The death benefit and surrender value for a Contract would be different from
those  shown if the  rates of return  averaged 0%, 6%  and 12% over  a period of
years, but also fluctuated above or below those averages for individual Contract
Years. They would also differ if any  contract loan were made during the  period
of time illustrated.
 
    The tables reflect the deductions of current Contract charges and guaranteed
Contract  charges  for a  single  gross interest  rate.  The death  benefits and
surrender values would change if the current cost of insurance charges change.
 
    The amounts shown for the death benefit and surrender value as of the end of
each Contract Year take into account an average daily charge equal to an  annual
charge of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolios for investment
advisory  and administrative services  fees. The gross  annual investment return
rates of  0%, 6%  and 12%  on the  Portfolio's assets  are equal  to net  annual
investment return rates (net of the 0.75% average daily charge) of -0.75%, 5.25%
and 11.25%, respectively.
 
    In  addition the  death benefit and  surrender value  as of the  end of each
Contract Year take into account  the (1) tax expense  charge equal to an  annual
rate  of  0.40%  of  Account  Value  for  the  first  ten  Contract  Years;  (2)
administrative charge  equal  to  an  annual rate  of  0.40%  of  Account  Value
attributable  to the  Separate Account;  (3) mortality  and expense  risk charge
equal to an annual rate of 0.90%  of Account Value attributable to the  Separate
Account;  and (4)  any Contingent Deferred  Sales Charge and  Premium Tax Charge
which may be applicable in the first nine Contract Years.
 
    The hypothetical returns  shown in the  tables are without  any tax  charges
that  may be  attributable to the  Separate Account  in the future.  In order to
produce after tax returns of 0%, 6%, and 12%, the Separate Account would have to
earn a sufficient amount in excess of 0%  or 6% or 12% to cover any tax  charges
(see  "Deductions and Charges -- Charges Against The Separate Account -- Taxes,"
page 14).
 
    The "Premium Paid Plus Interest" column of each table shows the amount which
would accumulate if  the initial premium  was invested to  earn interest,  after
taxes of 5% per year, compounded annually.
 
    ITT Hartford will furnish upon request, a comparable illustration reflecting
the  proposed insureds age, risk classification,  Face Amount or initial premium
requested, and reflecting guaranteed cost of insurance rates. ITT Hartford  will
also  furnish  an additional  similar  illustration reflecting  current  cost of
insurance rates which may be less  than, but never greater than, the  guaranteed
cost of insurance rates.

not indicative of the results which may be expected for any other interim period
or  the  full year.  For  a description  of  accounting policies,  see  Notes to

INDIVIDUAL LIFE AND ANNUITY DIVISION (ILAD)
 
The premiums, investment  income, management  and maintenance fees  and cost  of
insurance  associated with this growing asset base  continue to be the source of
ILAD's increased revenues,  up 16% from  prior year. New  deposits of fixed  and
variable  annuities in the  three months ended June  30, 1996 were approximately
$2.7 billion, an increase of over 90% from prior year sales or $1.4 billion, but
are not reported as revenues. Net income, up 50% from the same period last year,
continues to  grow  as earnings  are  generated  from an  existing  asset  base.
Revenue,   new  deposit,  and  net  income   increases  are  all  indicative  of
exceptionally strong, stable growth.
 
ASSET MANAGEMENT SERVICES (AMS)
 
Continuing to be an industry leader in deferred compensation products,  revenues
in  this  segment grew  by approximately  14%  over the  same period  last year.
Included in 1995  results is  a one time  benefit of  approximately $2  million.
Excluding  this benefit, net  income rose 33% over  prior year. Asset Management
Services is currently engaged in a restructuring process that is anticipated  to
result in new product development as well as expense reductions.
 
SPECIALTY
 
Net  Income  in the  Specialty  segment held  steady  in the  second  quarter as
compared to the same period last year.  In August of 1996, Congress passed  COLI
legislation  which provides for a three year phase-out of the interest deduction
on loans. It is expected that the President will sign this bill. In anticipation
of unfavorable tax legislation there were no new deposits of leveraged COLI, but
new  products,  such   as  variable  COLI   and  other  non-qualified   deferred
compensation  vehicles, and  new international  ventures are  being developed to
mitigate lost earnings due to leveraged COLI.
 
RUNOFF
 
The Runoff segment consists of a closed block of guaranteed rate contracts (GRC)
formerly part of the AMS segment  of business. GRC results have been  negatively
affected  by  lower investment  earnings on  mortgaged-backed securities  due to
prepayments experienced in  excess of  assumed levels.  Hartford Life  Insurance
Company   (HLIC)  is  considering  portfolio  management  strategies  which  may
accelerate the recognition of  the closed book GRC  loss as disclosed in  HLIC's
1995 Form 10K Annual Report.

INDIVIDUAL LIFE AND ANNUITY DIVISION (ILAD)
 
Growth  in  fixed and  variable  annuity sales,  as  well as  several assumption
reinsurance transactions in  the last  several years have  increased the  assets
under management in this segment to approximately $39 billion through June 1996.
The  premiums, investment  income, management and  maintenance fees  and cost of
insurance associated with this growing asset  base continue to be the source  of
ILAD's  increased revenues. New deposits of  fixed and variable annuities in the
first six months of 1996 were approximately $5 billion, but are not reported  as
revenues, an increase over prior year sales of $1.5 billion or 42%.
 
ASSET MANAGEMENT SERVICES (AMS)
 
This  segment is one of  the top providers of  deferred compensation products in
the country. Net income increased by 14%  over prior year, excluding a one  time
benefit  of  approximately  $2 million  in  1995. Asset  Management  services is
currently engaged in a  restructuring process that is  anticipated to result  in
new product development as well as expense reductions.
 
SPECIALTY
 
Increased  net income in the Specialty segment is attributable to net investment
income and  other  revenues  on  the existing  block  of  corporate  owned  life
insurance  (COLI) business. In  August of 1996  Congress passed COLI legislation
which provides for a three year phase-out of the interest deduction on loans. It
is anticipated that the  President will sign this  bill. Although there were  no
new  deposits  of  leveraged COLI  in  the  first half  of  1996,  new products,
including variable COLI and other non-qualified deferred compensation  vehicles,
are  being  developed. Also,  expansion into  new international  ventures should
further mitigate the earnings lost due to leveraged COLI.
 
RUNOFF
 
The Runoff segment consists of a closed block of guaranteed rate contracts (GRC)
formerly part of the AMS segment  of business. GRC results have been  negatively
affected  by  lower investment  earnings on  mortgaged-backed securities  due to
prepayments experienced in  excess of  assumed levels.  Hartford Life  Insurance
Company   (HLIC)  is  considering  portfolio  management  strategies  which  may
accelerate the recognition of  the closed book GRC  loss as disclosed in  HLIC's
1995 Form 10K Annual Report.

            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.

                         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;
 
    (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:

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 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.

 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
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
<PAGE>
56                               ITT HARTFORD LIFE AND ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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:

    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 liabilities 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
<PAGE>

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.
 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.

             REPRESENTATION OF REASONABLENESS OF FEES
    

   
The undersigned Registrant hereby represents that the aggregate fees and 
charges under the Policy are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, 
the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by Hartford Life.
    


UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS

Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary and periodic 
information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by any rule or 
regulation of the Commission heretofore or hereafter duly adopted pursuant to 
authority conferred in that section.


UNDERTAKING ON INDEMNIFICATION

Article VIII of the Bylaws of ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance 
Company, a Connecticut corporation, provides for indemnification of its 
officers, directors and employees as follows:



SECTION 1.  No person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage 
suffered by it on account of any action taken or omitted to be taken by him 
as 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 threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed 
action, suit or proceeding, by or in the right of the Company to procure a 
judgment in its 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



<PAGE>

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 if any 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 the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a 
person.

The registrant hereby undertakes that insofar as indemnification for 
liability 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 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.

                         PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of the June 26, 1995, made by and between HARTFORD 
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ("HLIC" or the "Sponsor"), a corporation organized and 
existing under the laws of the State of Connecticut, 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 HLIC has made provision for the 
establishment of a separate account within HLIC in accordance with the laws 
of the State of Connecticut, 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 Hartford Life 
Insurance Company Separate Account Five (referred to as the "UIT"); and

WHEREAS, HSD offers to the public a certain Modified Single Premium Variable 
Life Insurance Policy (the "Policy") issued by HLIC 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 Policy under the terms and conditions set forth in 
this Principal Underwriter Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements made herein, HLIC 
and HSD agree as follows:

                                       I.

                                  HSD'S DUTIES

1.  HSD, as successor principal underwriter to Hartford Equity Sales Company, 
    Inc. for the Policy, will use its best efforts to effect offers and sales 
    of the Policy 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 HLIC.  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 Policy, the need for which 
    arises out of its duties as principal underwriter of said Policy 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 Policy if 
    any of the foregoing in any way represent the duties, obligations, or 
    liabilities of HLIC 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 Policies 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 Policy 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 Policies 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 advise 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 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.

    HLIC will furnish to HSD such information with respect to the UIT and the 
    Policies 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.  HLIC 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 HLIC 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 HLIC.  However, such resignation shall not become effective 
until either the UIT has been completed liquidated and the proceeds of the 
liquidation distributed through HLIC to the Policyowners 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

3.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of 
    which 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

        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 HLIC.

    (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 HLIC 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 HLIC,

        agreement with one or more persons to act as successor principal
        underwriter of the Policies.  HSD hereby agrees that it will continue

                             BROKER-DEALER SALES AND
                              SUPERVISION AGREEMENT

This Broker-Dealer Sales and Supervision Agreement ("Agreement")
dated ____________________ is made by and between Hartford Life Insurance
Company and ITT Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (referred to
collectively as "Companies"), Hartford Securities Distribution Company, Inc.
("Distributor"), a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act")
and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")
and __________________________________, who is also a broker-dealer registered
with the SEC under the 1934 Act and a member of the NASD ("Broker-Dealer"), and
any and all undersigned insurance agency affiliates ("Affiliates") of Broker-
Dealer.

WHEREAS, Companies offer certain variable life insurance policies and variable
and modified guaranteed annuity contracts which are deemed to be securities
under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Registered Products"); and

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

WHEREAS, Distributor is the principal underwriter of the Registered Products;
and

WHEREAS, Distributor anticipates having registered representatives who are
associated with Broker-Dealer ("Registered Representatives"), who are NASD
registered and are duly licensed under applicable state insurance law and
appointed as life insurance agents of Companies solicit and sell the Registered
Products; and

WHEREAS, Distributor acknowledges that the Broker-Dealer will provide certain
supervisory and administrative services to Registered Representatives who are
associated with the Broker-Dealer in connection with the solicitation, service
and sale of the Registered Products; and

WHEREAS, Broker-Dealer agrees to provide the aforementioned supervisory services
to its Registered Representatives who have been appointed by the Companies to
sell the Registered Products.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this
Agreement, the parties agree to the following:


  I. APPOINTMENT OF THE BROKER-DEALER

     The Companies hereby appoint Broker-Dealer as an agent of the Companies for
     the solicitation and procurement of applications for the Registered
     Products offered by the Companies, as outlined in Exhibit A attached
     herein, in all states in which the Companies are authorized to do business
     and in which Broker-Dealer or any Affiliates are properly licensed.
     Distributor hereby authorizes Broker-Dealer under the securities laws to
     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

           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

           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.

           purposes of payment of commission or otherwise.

   (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

<PAGE>


           material which has been filed with the NASD, and applicable state
           insurance departments.

   (b)     COMPENSATION
           Distributor will pay Broker-Dealer as full compensation for all
           services rendered by Broker-Dealer under this Agreement, commissions
           and/or service fees in the amounts, in the manner and for the period
           of time as set forth in the Commission Schedules attached to this
           Agreement or subsequently made a part hereof, and which are in
           effect at the time such Registered Products are sold.  The manner of
           commission payments (I.E. fronted or trail) is not subject to change
           after the effective date of a contract for which the compensation is
           payable.

           Distributor or Companies may change the Commission Schedules
           attached to this Agreement at any time.  Such change shall become
           effective only when Distributor or Companies provide the Broker-
           Dealer with written notice of the change.  No such change shall
           affect any contracts issued upon applications received by Companies
           at Companies' Home Office prior to the effective date of such
           change.

           Distributor agrees to identify to Broker-Dealer for each such
           payment, the name of the Registered Representative of Broker-Dealer
           who solicited each contract covered by the payment.  Distributor
           will not compensate Broker-Dealer for any Registered Product which
           is tendered for redemption after acceptance of the application.  Any
           chargebacks will be assessed against the Broker-Dealer of record at
           the time of the redemption.

           Distributor will only compensate Broker-Dealer or Affiliates, as
           outlined below, for those applications accepted by Companies, and
           only after receipt by Companies at Companies' Home Office or at such
           other location as Companies may designate from time to time for its
           various lines of business, of the required premium and compliance by
           Broker-Dealer with any outstanding contract and prospectus delivery
           requirements.

           In the event that this Agreement terminates for fraudulent
           activities or due to a material breach by the Broker-Dealer,
           Distributor will only pay to Broker-Dealer or Affiliate commissions
           or other compensation earned prior to discovery of events requiring
           termination. No further commissions or other compensation shall
           thereafter be payable.

   (c)     COMPENSATION PAYABLE TO AFFILIATES
           If Broker-Dealer is unable to comply with state licensing
           requirements because of a legal impediment which prohibits a non-
           domiciliary corporation from becoming a licensed insurance agency or
           prohibits non-resident ownership of a licensed insurance agency,
           Distributor agrees to pay compensation to Broker-Dealer's
           contractually affiliated insurance agency, a wholly-owned life
           agency affiliate of Broker-Dealer, or a Registered Representative or
           principal of Broker-Dealer who is properly state licensed.  As
           appropriate, any reference in this Agreement to Broker-Dealer shall
           apply equally to such Affiliate. Distributor agrees to pay
           compensation to an Affiliate subject to Affiliates agreement to
           comply with the requirements of Exhibit B, attached hereto.

                                    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.

SECTION 1.   No person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage
suffered by it on account of any action taken or omitted to be taken by him as
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

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.

be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its
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
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

                                   ARTICLE IX
