Issuance Date specified above or from the most recent Interest Payment Date
specified above to which interest has been paid or duly provided for at the
rate per annum determined in accordance with the provisions on the reverse
hereof and as specified above, until the principal hereof is paid or made
available for payment. Unless otherwise specified above, payments of
principal, premium, if any, and interest hereon will be made in the lawful
currency of the United States of America ("U.S. Dollars" or "United States

This Note will mature on the Stated Maturity Date, unless its principal (or
any installment of its principal) becomes due and payable prior to the Stated
Maturity Date, whether, as applicable, by the declaration of acceleration of
maturity, notice of redemption by the Trust or otherwise (the Stated Maturity
Date or any date prior to the Stated Maturity Date on which this Note becomes
due and payable, as the case may be, is referred to as the "Maturity Date").
A "Discount Note" is any Note that has an Issue Price that is less than
100% of the Principal Amount thereof by more than a percentage equal to the
product of 0.25% and the number of full years to the Stated Maturity Date.
Unless otherwise specified above, the interest payable on each Interest
Payment Date or the Maturity Date will be the amount of interest accrued from
and including the Issuance Date or from and including the last Interest Payment
Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be,
to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as the case
may be.

calendar day, whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding the related
Interest Payment Date; PROVIDED that, notwithstanding any provision of the
Indenture to the contrary, interest payable on any Maturity Date shall be
payable to the Person to whom principal shall be payable; and PROVIDED, FURTHER,
that unless otherwise specified above, in the case of a Note initially issued
between a Regular Record Date and the Interest Payment Date relating to such
Regular Record Date, interest for the period beginning on the Issuance Date and
ending on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on the Interest Payment Date
following the next succeeding Regular Record Date to the Holder on such next
succeeding Regular Record Date.
The Trust will make payments of principal of, and premium, if any, on the
Maturity Date of this Note in immediately available funds against presentation
and surrender hereof (and, in the case of any repayment on a Repayment Date,
upon submission of a duly completed election form if and as required by the
provisions described on the reverse hereof) at the office or agency maintained
by the Trust for this purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.
The Trust will make payments of interest and other amounts due and owing, if
any, on the Maturity Date of this Note in immediately available funds and upon
the same conditions (as set forth in the preceding sentence) to the Person to
whom payment of the principal hereof and premium, if any, hereon shall be made.
The Trust will make payments of interest and other amounts due and owing, if
any, on this Note on any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date by
check mailed to the Holder hereof as of the preceding Regular Record Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Paying Agent will make, or cause to be made,
payments of interest and other amounts due and owing, if any, on this Note on
any Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date to any Holder hereof as
of the preceding Regular Record Date of $10,000,000 (or, if the Specified
Currency is other than U.S. Dollars, the equivalent thereof in the particular
Specified Currency) or more in aggregate principal amount of the Note by wire
transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder hereof has delivered
appropriate wire transfer instructions in writing to the Indenture Trustee not
less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the particular Interest Payment
Date. Any wire transfer instructions received by the Indenture Trustee shall
remain in effect until revoked by the Holder hereof.

in immediately available funds by the Trust. Unless otherwise specified on the
face hereof, any tax assessment or governmental charge imposed upon payments

SECTION 2. CURRENCY.
(a) Unless specified otherwise on the face hereof, this Note is
denominated in, and payments of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if
any, will be made in U.S. Dollars. If specified as the Specified Currency, this
Note may be denominated in, and payments of principal, premium, if any, and/or
interest, if any, may be made in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars (a
"Foreign Currency"). If this Note is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the
Holder of this Note is required to pay for this Note in the Specified Currency.
(b) Unless specified otherwise on the face hereof, if this Note is
denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Trust is obligated to make payments of
principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, this Note in the
Specified Currency. Any amounts so payable by the Trust in the Specified
Currency will be converted by the Exchange Rate Agent into U.S. Dollars for
payment to the Holder hereof unless otherwise specified on the face of this
Note or the Holder elects, in the manner described below, to receive these
amounts in the Specified Currency. If this Note is denominated in a Foreign
Currency, any U.S. Dollar amount to be received by the Holder hereof will be
based on the highest bid quotation in The City of New York received by the
Exchange Rate Agent at approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the
second Business Day preceding the applicable payment date from a recognized
foreign exchange dealer (which may be the Exchange Rate Agent) selected by the
Exchange Rate Agent and approved by the Trust for the purchase by the quoting
dealer of the Specified Currency for U.S. Dollars for settlement on that
payment date in the aggregate amount of the Specified Currency payable to all
Holders of the Notes scheduled to receive U.S. Dollar payments and at which
the applicable dealer commits to execute a contract. All currency exchange
costs will be borne by the Holders of the Notes by deductions from any
payments. If a bid quotation is not available, payments will be made in the
Specified Currency. If this Note is denominated in a Foreign Currency, the
Holder of this Note may elect to receive all or a specified portion of any
payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest, if any, in the
Specified Currency by submitting a written request to the Indenture Trustee at
its Corporate Trust Office in The City of New York on or prior to the
applicable Regular Record Date or at least 15 calendar days prior to the
Maturity Date, as the case may be. This written request may be mailed or hand
delivered or sent by cable, telex or other form of facsimile transmission.
This election will remain in effect until revoked by written notice delivered
to the Indenture Trustee on or prior to a Regular Record Date or at least 15
calendar days prior to the Maturity Date, as the case may be.
(c) The Trust will indemnify the Holder hereof against any loss incurred
as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due
under this Note and that judgment or order requiring payment in a currency (the
"Judgment Currency") other than the Specified Currency, and as a result of any
variation between: (i) the rate of exchange at which the Specified Currency
amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of that
A-3-5
<Page>
judgment or order; and (ii) the rate of exchange at which the Holder, on the
date of payment of that judgment or order, is able to purchase the Specified
Currency with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received.
(d) Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, if payment hereon is
required to be made in a Foreign Currency and such currency is unavailable due
to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Trust's
control, then the Trust will be entitled to make payments with respect hereto in
U.S. Dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate (as hereinafter defined),
computed by the Exchange Rate Agent, on the second Business Day prior to the
particular payment or, if the Market Exchange Rate is not then available, on the
basis of the most recently available Market Exchange Rate.
(e) The "Market Exchange Rate" for the Foreign Currency shall mean the
noon dollar buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for the
Foreign Currency as certified for customs purposes (or, if not so certified, as
otherwise determined) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
(f) All determinations made by the Exchange Rate Agent shall be at its
sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for
all purposes and binding on the Holder hereof.
(g) All costs of exchange in respect of this Note, if denominated in a
Foreign Currency, will be borne by the Holder hereof.

falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Trust will make the
required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest or
other amounts on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional
interest will accrue in respect of the payment made on that next
succeeding Business Day.
(b) FLOATING RATE NOTES. If this Note is specified on the face hereof as

reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate
Bases, which may, as described below, include the CD Rate, the CMT
Rate, the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR, the
Prime Rate or the Treasury Rate (each as defined below).
(ii) EFFECTIVE RATE. The rate derived from the applicable Interest
Rate Basis will be determined in accordance with the related
provisions below. The interest rate in effect on each day will be
based on: (1) if that day is an Interest Reset Date, the rate
determined as of the Interest Determination Date immediately
preceding that Interest Reset Date; or (2) if that day is not an
Interest Reset Date, the rate determined as of the Interest
Determination Date immediately preceding the most recent Interest
Reset Date.
(iii) SPREAD; SPREAD MULTIPLIER; INDEX MATURITY. The "Spread" is the
number of basis points (one one-hundredth of a percentage point)
specified on the face hereof to be added to or subtracted from the
related Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases applicable to this
Note. The "Spread Multiplier" is the percentage specified on the face
hereof of the related Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases
applicable to this Note by which the Interest Rate Basis or Interest
Rate Bases will be multiplied to determine the applicable interest
rate. The "Index Maturity" is the period to maturity of the
instrument or obligation with respect to which the related Interest
Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases will be calculated.
(iv) REGULAR FLOATING RATE NOTE. Unless this Note is specified on the
face hereof as a Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note or an Inverse Floating
Rate Note, this Note (a "Regular Floating Rate Note") will bear
interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable
Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases: (1) plus or minus the
applicable Spread, if any; and/or (2) multiplied by the applicable
Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the first Interest Reset
Date, the rate at which interest on this Regular Floating Rate Note
is payable will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if any,
from the Issuance Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the
Initial Interest Rate.
A-3-7
<Page>
(v) FLOATING RATE/FIXED RATE NOTES. If this Note is specified on the
face hereof as a "Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note", this Note will bear
interest at the rate determined by reference to the applicable
Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate Bases: (1) plus or minus the
applicable Spread, if any; and/or (2) multiplied by the applicable
Spread Multiplier, if any. Commencing on the first Interest Reset
Date, the rate at which this Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note is payable
will be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that: (A) the interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from
the Issuance Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the
Initial Interest Rate specified on the face hereof; and (B) the
interest rate in effect commencing on the Fixed Rate Commencement
Date will be the Fixed Interest Rate, if specified on the face
hereof, or, if not so specified, the interest rate in effect on the
day immediately preceding the Fixed Rate Commencement Date.
(vi) INVERSE FLOATING RATE NOTES. If this Note is specified on the
face hereof as an "Inverse Floating Rate Note", this Note will bear
interest at the Fixed Interest Rate minus the rate determined by
reference to the applicable Interest Rate Basis or Interest Rate
Bases: (1) plus or minus the applicable Spread, if any; and/or (2)
multiplied by the applicable Spread Multiplier, if any; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that interest on this Inverse Floating Rate Note will not be
less than zero. Commencing on the first Interest Reset Date, the rate
at which interest on this Inverse Floating Rate Note is payable will
be reset as of each Interest Reset Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
interest rate in effect for the period, if any, from the Issuance
Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest
Rate.
(vii) INTEREST RESET DATES. The period between Interest Reset Dates
will be the "Interest Reset Period." Unless otherwise specified on
the face hereof, the Interest Reset Dates will be, in the case of
this Floating Rate Note if by its terms it resets: (1) daily--each
Business Day; (2) weekly--the Wednesday of each week, with the
exception of any weekly reset Floating Rate Note as to which the
Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, which will reset
the Tuesday of each week; (3) monthly--the fifteenth day of each
calendar month; (4) quarterly--the fifteenth day of March, June,
September and December of each year; (5) semi-annually--the fifteenth
day of the two months of each year specified on the face hereof; and
(6) annually--the fifteenth day of the month of each year specified
on the face hereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, with respect to a
Floating Rate/Fixed Rate Note, the rate of interest thereon will not
reset after the particular Fixed Rate Commencement Date. If any
Interest Reset Date for this Floating Rate Note would otherwise be a
day that is not a Business Day, the particular Interest Reset Date
will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that in
the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which LIBOR is an applicable
Interest Rate Basis and that Business Day falls in the next
succeeding calendar month, the particular Interest Reset Date will be
the immediately preceding Business Day.
(viii) INTEREST DETERMINATION DATES. The interest rate applicable to
a Floating Rate Note for an Interest Reset Period commencing on the
related Interest Reset Date will be determined by reference to the
applicable Interest Rate Basis as of the particular "Interest
Determination Date", which will be: (1) with respect to the
Commercial
A-3-8
<Page>
Paper Rate, Federal Funds Rate and the Prime Rate--the Business Day
immediately preceding the related Interest Reset Date; (2) with
respect to the CD Rate and the CMT Rate--the second Business
Day preceding the related Interest Reset Date; (3) with respect to
LIBOR--the second London Banking Day preceding the related Interest
Reset Date, unless the applicable LIBOR Currency is (A) pounds
sterling, in which case the Interest Determination Date will be the
related Interest Reset Date, or (B) euro, in which case the Interest
Determination Date will be the second TARGET Settlement Day preceding
the applicable Interest Reset Date; and (4) with respect to the
Treasury Rate--the day of the week in which the related Interest
Reset Date falls on which day Treasury Bills (as defined below)
are normally auctioned (i.e., Treasury Bills are normally
sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal
holiday, in which case the auction is normally held on the
following Tuesday, except that the auction may be held on the
preceding Friday); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if an auction is held on
the Friday of the week preceding the related Interest Reset Date,
the Interest Determination Date will be the preceding Friday. The
Interest Determination Date pertaining to a Floating Rate Note, the
interest rate of which is determined with reference to two or more
Interest Rate Bases, will be the latest Business Day which is at
least two Business Days before the related Interest Reset Date for
the applicable Floating Rate Note on which each Interest Reset
Basis is determinable. "TARGET Settlement Day" means a day on which
the TARGET System is open.
(ix) CALCULATION DATES. The interest rate applicable to each Interest
Reset Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent on or prior
to the Calculation Date (as defined below), except with respect to
LIBOR, which will be determined on the particular Interest
Determination Date. Upon request of the Holder of a Floating Rate
Note, the Calculation Agent will disclose the interest rate then in
effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become
effective as a result of a determination made for the next succeeding
Interest Reset Date with respect to such Floating Rate Note. The
"Calculation Date", if applicable, pertaining to any Interest
Determination Date will be the earlier of: (1) the tenth calendar day
after the particular Interest Determination Date or, if such day is
not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day; or (2) the
Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment
Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be.
(x) MAXIMUM OR MINIMUM INTEREST RATE. If specified on the face
hereof, this Note may have either or both of a Maximum Interest Rate
or a Minimum Interest Rate. If a Maximum Interest Rate is so
designated, the interest rate for a Floating Rate Note cannot ever
exceed such Maximum Interest Rate and in the event that the interest
rate on any Interest Reset Date would exceed such Maximum Interest
Rate (as if no Maximum Interest Rate were in effect) then the
interest rate on such Interest Reset Date shall be the Maximum
Interest Rate. If a Minimum Interest Rate is so designated, the
interest rate for a Floating Rate Note cannot ever be less than such
Minimum Interest Rate and in the event that the interest rate on any
Interest Reset Date would be less than such Minimum Interest Rate (as
if no Minimum Interest Rate were in effect) then the interest rate on
such Interest Reset Date shall be the Minimum Interest Rate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
interest rate on a Floating Rate Note shall not exceed the maximum
interest rate permitted by applicable law.
(xi) INTEREST PAYMENTS. Unless otherwise specified on the face
hereof, the Interest Payment Dates will be, in the case of a Floating
Rate Note which resets: (1) daily,
A-3-9
<Page>
weekly or monthly--the fifteenth day of each calendar month or on the
fifteenth day of March, June, September and December of each year, as
specified on the face hereof; (2) quarterly--the fifteenth day of
March, June, September and December of each year; (3)
semi-annually--the fifteenth day of the two months of each year
specified on the face hereof; and (4) annually--the fifteenth day of
the month of each year as specified on the face hereof. In addition,
the Maturity Date will also be an Interest Payment Date. If any
Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date for this Floating
Rate Note would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such
Interest Payment Date will be postponed to the next succeeding
Business Day, except that in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to
which LIBOR is an applicable Interest Rate Basis and that Business
Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the particular
Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.
If the Maturity Date of a Floating Rate Note falls on a day that is
not a Business Day, the Trust will make the required payment of
principal, premium, if any, and interest or other amounts on the next
succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue in
respect of the payment made on that next succeeding Business Day.
(xii) ROUNDING. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, all
percentages resulting from any calculation on this Floating Rate Note
will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage
point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded
upwards. All dollar amounts used in or resulting from any calculation
on this Floating Rate Note will be rounded, in the case of U.S.
Dollars, to the nearest cent or, in the case of a Foreign Currency,
to the nearest unit (with one-half cent or unit being rounded
upwards).
(xiii) INTEREST FACTOR. With respect to a Floating Rate Note, accrued
interest is calculated by multiplying the principal amount of such
Note by an accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor is
computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the
particular Interest Reset Period. The interest factor for each day
will be computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day
by 360, in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the CD Rate,
the Commercial Paper Rate, the Federal Funds Rate, LIBOR or the Prime
Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis, or by the actual number of
days in the year, in the case of a Floating Rate Note as to which the
CMT Rate or the Treasury Rate is an applicable Interest Rate Basis.
The interest factor for a Floating Rate Note as to which the interest
rate is calculated with reference to two or more Interest Rate Bases
will be calculated in each period in the same manner as if only the
Interest Rate Basis specified under "Additional/Other Terms" applied.
(xiv) DETERMINATION OF INTEREST RATE BASIS. The Calculation Agent
shall determine the rate derived from each Interest Rate Basis in
accordance with the following provisions.
(1) CD RATE NOTES. If the Interest Rate Basis is the CD Rate,
this Note shall be deemed a "CD Rate Note." Unless otherwise
specified on the face hereof, "CD Rate" means, from the Issuance
Date to the first Interest Reset Date, the Initial Interest Rate,
if any, and thereafter:

manner as set forth in Section 3(a) above, and payments of principal
and interest shall be made as set forth on the face hereof. Discount
Notes may not bear any interest currently or may bear interest at a
rate that is below market rates at the time of issuance. The
difference between the Issue Price of a Discount Note and par is
referred to as the "Discount".
(ii) REDEMPTION; REPAYMENT; ACCELERATION. In the event a Discount
Note is redeemed, repaid or accelerated, the amount payable to the
Holder of such Discount Note will be equal to the sum of: (A) the
Issue Price (increased by any accruals of Discount) and, in the event
of any redemption of such Discount Note, if applicable, multiplied by
the Initial Redemption Percentage (as adjusted by the Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction, if applicable); and (B) any unpaid
interest accrued on such Discount Note to the Maturity Date
("Amortized Face Amount"). Unless otherwise specified on the face
hereof, for purposes of determining the amount of Discount that has
accrued as of any date on which a redemption, repayment or

Dates for the applicable Discount Note (with ratable accruals within
a compounding period), a coupon rate equal to the initial coupon rate
applicable to the applicable Discount Note and an assumption that the
maturity of such Discount Note will not be accelerated. If the period
from the date of issue to the first Interest Payment Date for a
Discount Note (the "Initial Period") is shorter than the compounding
period for such Discount Note, a proportionate amount of the yield
for an entire compounding period will be accrued. If the Initial
Period is longer than the compounding period, then the period will be
divided into a regular compounding period and a short period with the
short period being treated as provided above.

I attached hereto. The Trust will make payments combining principal, premium (if
any) and interest, if applicable, on the dates and in the amounts set forth in
the table appearing in SCHEDULE I, attached to this Note or in accordance with
the formula specified on the face hereof. Payments made hereon will be applied
first to interest due and payable hereon and then to the reduction of the unpaid

Funding Agreement is to be redeemed in whole or in part by Hartford Life
Insurance Company ("Hartford Life") (each, a "Redemption Date"), in which case
this Note must be redeemed on such Redemption Date in whole or in part, as
applicable, prior to the Stated Maturity Date, in increments equal to the
Authorized Denominations (provided that any
A-3-21
<Page>
remaining Principal Amount hereof shall be at least equal to the Authorized
Denomination) at the applicable Redemption Price (as defined below), together
with unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the applicable
Redemption Date. "Redemption Price" shall mean an amount equal to the Initial
Redemption Percentage (as adjusted by the Annual Redemption Percentage
Reduction, if applicable) multiplied by the unpaid Principal Amount of this Note
to be redeemed (or in the case of Dicsount Notes, multiplied as set forth in
Section 3(c)(ii) above). The unpaid Principal Amount of this Note to be redeemed
shall be determined by multiplying (1) the Outstanding Principal Amount of this
Note by (2) the quotient derived by dividing (A) the outstanding principal
amount of the Funding Agreement to be redeemed by Hartford Life by (B) the
outstanding principal amount of the Funding Agreement. The Initial Redemption
Percentage, if any, applicable to this Note shall decline at each anniversary of
the Initial Redemption Date by an amount equal to the applicable Annual
Redemption Percentage Reduction, if any, until the Redemption Price is equal to
100% of the unpaid amount thereof to be redeemed. Notice must be given not more
than seventy-five (75) nor less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the
proposed Redemption Date. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only,

specified on the face hereof, this Note shall be repayable in whole or in part
in increments equal to the Authorized Denominations (provided that any
remaining Principal Amount hereof shall be at least equal to the Authorized
Denomination) at the option of the Holder hereof at the Repayment Price equal
to the percentage of the Principal Amount to be repaid specified on the face
hereof, together with interest thereon payable to the Repayment Date. For
this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof,
the Indenture Trustee (or the Paying Agent on behalf of the Indenture Trustee)

change in, an interpretation or application of any such laws or regulations by
any governmental authority in the United States, which amendment or change is
