redemption or repayment that would not result in a Trust Material

PROSPECTUS". Each of the Company and the Trust represents, warrants, covenants
and agrees that each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, as of its first date of
use and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and
sale of the Notes or until any earlier date that the issuer of such Permitted
Free Writing Prospectus notified or gives notice to the Agent(s) in accordance

in the Registration Statement, any applicable Time of Sale Prospectus or the
Prospectus or included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or

statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were

Agent(s) and, if requested by the Agent(s), will prepare and furnish without
charge to each Agent a Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or other document that

filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement Amendment, as
applicable, or the date of the Company Periodic Report, as the case may

assurances referred to in Section 5.2.1 and Section 5.2.2 hereof, respectively,
but modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus as amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such negative
assurance or, in lieu of such negative assurance, counsel last furnishing such
negative assurance to the Agent(s) shall furnish such Agent(s) with a letter
substantially to the effect that the Agent(s) may rely on such last negative
assurance to the same extent as though it was dated the date of such letter

shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as
amended and supplemented to the time of delivery of such letter authorizing
reliance).
6.4 SUBSEQUENT DELIVERY OF COMFORT LETTER. In the event of:

supplemented solely to include unaudited financial information as of and for a
fiscal quarter, the Accountants may limit the scope of such letter to the

SECTION 7.
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
7.1 The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent,
its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls such Agent
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any and all loss,
liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the omission or alleged
omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any
preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or the
omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this indemnity does not apply to
(i) any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of
an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company or
Trust in writing by such Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement
(or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale
Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any
Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, or (ii) any loss, liability, claim, damage or
expense arising out of any statements in or omissions from that part of the
Registration Statement which constitutes the Statements of Eligibility (Form
T-1) under the 1939 Act of the Indenture Trustee.
7.2 Each Agent agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, the Trust and each of their respective directors,
officers and trustees (if applicable) that signed the Registration Statement and
each person, if any, who controls the Company or Trust within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage
and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 7.1 hereof, as
incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions,
Hartford Life Global Funding Trust 2006-033
Omnibus Instrument
45
or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement
(or any amendment thereto) or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus or any
preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished to the Company or the Trust in writing by such Agent
expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or
such preliminary prospectus, such Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus (or
any amendment or supplement thereto) or any such Permitted Free Writing
Prospectus.
7.3 Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as
reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced
against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to
so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from
any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a
result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it
may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of
parties indemnified pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, counsel to the indemnified
parties shall be selected by the Company and, in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be
selected by the Agent(s). Counsel to the indemnifying party may, with the
consent of the indemnified party, also be counsel to the indemnified party. In
no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more
than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own
counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or
separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of
the same general allegations or circumstances.
No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or
compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any
litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or
body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which
indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 7 (whether or
not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto); unless
such settlement, compromise or consent (i) is for monetary damages only, (ii)
includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (iii)
does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a
failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
7.4 If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 hereof is for
any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party
in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to
therein (other than as provided therein), then each indemnifying party shall
contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages
and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Company, on one hand, and the Agent(s), on the other hand, from the offering of
the Notes, as the case may be, that were the subject of the claim for
indemnification or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not
permitted by applicable law, in such
Hartford Life Global Funding Trust 2006-033
Omnibus Instrument
46
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred
to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and Trust, on
one hand, and the Agent(s), on the other hand, in connection with the statements
or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the
Agent(s), on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Notes, as
the case may be, that were the subject of the claim for indemnification shall be
deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from
the offering of such Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the Trust and
the total discount received by the Agent(s), as the case may be, bears to the
aggregate initial offering price of such Notes.
The relative fault of the Company and the Trust, on one hand, and the
Agent(s), on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by the Company or the Trust, on one hand, or by the Agent(s), on the
other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 were determined by pro rata allocation
(even if the Agent(s) were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any
other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this Section 7.4. The aggregate amount of
losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified
party and referred to above in this Section 7.4 shall be deemed to include any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any applicable untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.4, (i) no Agent shall
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price, at which the Notes underwritten by such Agent and distributed to the
public, were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such
Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any applicable untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In addition, in connection with an
offering of Notes purchased from the Trust by two or more Agent(s) as principal,
the respective obligations of such Agent(s) to contribute pursuant to this
Section 7.4 are several, and not joint, in proportion to the aggregate principal
amount of Notes that each such Agent has agreed to purchase from the Trust.
For purposes of this Section 7.4, each director and officer of an agent
and each person, if any, who "controls," within the meaning of Section 15 of the
1933 Act, an
Hartford Life Global Funding Trust 2006-033
Omnibus Instrument
47
Agent, shall have the same rights to contribution as such Agent, and each
director, officer and trustee (if applicable) of the Company or Trust, as
applicable, and each person, if any, who "controls," within the meaning of
Section 15 of the 1933 Act, the Company or Trust, shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company or Trust, as applicable.
SECTION 8.
TERMINATION
8.1 TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE NOTES AS PRINCIPAL. The
Agent(s) (or the bookrunning lead manager(s), in the case of a syndicated issue)
may terminate any agreement by such Agent(s) (and any other Agent(s), in the
case of a syndicated issue) to purchase Notes immediately upon written notice to
the Trust and the Company, at any time on or prior to the Settlement Date
relating thereto, if (i) there has been, since the time of such agreement or
since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Time of Sale
Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or
otherwise, of (1) the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise,
or (2) the Trust, in each case, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of
business, or (ii) there has occurred any material adverse change in the
financial markets in the United States or any outbreak of hostilities or major
escalation of existing hostilities or other calamity or crisis or any similar
major change or event (including, without limitation, an act of terrorism)
involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial
or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it,
in the reasonable judgment of the Agent(s) (or the bookrunning lead manager(s),
in the case of a syndicated issue) after consultation with the Company,
impracticable to market such Notes or enforce contracts for the sale of such
Notes, (iii) trading in any securities of The Hartford Financial Services Group,
Inc. (the "Corporation"), the Company, or Trust has been suspended or materially
limited by the Commission or The New York Stock Exchange, or if trading
generally on The New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or in
the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended or materially limited, in each
case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of
the Agent(s) (or bookrunning lead manager(s), in the case of a syndicated issue)
after consultation with the Company, impracticable to market such Notes or
enforce contracts for the sale of such Notes, (iv) a banking moratorium has been
declared by either Federal or New York authorities or a material disruption has
occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in
the United States, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in
the reasonable judgment of the Agent(s) (or bookrunning lead manager(s), in the
case of a syndicated issue) after consultation with the Company, impracticable
to market such Notes or enforce contracts for the sale of such Notes or (v) the
rating assigned by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization to
the Program, any notes issued pursuant to the Registration Statement or any debt
securities (including the Notes) of the Trust or any securities or the financial
strength of the Company as of the date of such agreement shall have been lowered
or withdrawn since that date or if any such rating organization shall have
publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review its rating of the
Program, any notes issued pursuant to the
Hartford Life Global Funding Trust 2006-033
Omnibus Instrument
48
Registration Statement or any such debt securities (including the Notes) of the
Trust or any securities or the financial strength of the Company.
8.2 GENERAL. In the event of any termination under Section 8.1
above, neither party will have any liability to the other party hereto, except
that the covenant set forth in Section 2.3.7 hereof, the indemnity and
contribution agreements set forth in Section 7 hereof, the provisions of Section
10 and Section 11 hereof and the provisions of Section 12 hereof shall remain in
effect.
