2 Narrative Summary The Company: Policy Description: About this Inforce Illustration: "The Hartford" is The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., and its subsidiaries, including the issuing companies of Hartford Life Insurance Company (New York) and Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company (outside New York), Simsbury, CT. The mailing address for both issuers is P.O. Box 2999, Hartford, CT Variable life insurance products discussed in this material are distributed by Hartford Equity Sales Company, Inc. (HESCO), a broker/dealer affiliate of The Hartford. Hartford Leaders VUL Legacy is an individual flexible premium variable universal life insurance policy. This policy offers you premium payment and death benefit flexibility, as well as a No Lapse Guarantee provision, which can protect your policy from lapse. Please see your contract for details regarding this No Lapse Guarantee feature. The policy values depend on the timing and amount of your premium payments, the monthly policy charges and the investment performance of your selected Investment Choices. Policy charges are subject to change, but will never be less favorable than those guaranteed in the policy. Premium payments may be made at any time up to the Scheduled Maturity Date (Age 120) subject to the minimum and maximum premium requirements explained in your policy. If higher premium payments are made, coverage may continue for a longer period than if lower premium payments are made. Regardless of premium outlay, monthly policy charges are deducted from the policy account value in all years up the Scheduled Maturity Date. This illustration is intended to help you understand how your policy works, not to predict performance. It assumes that the non-guaranteed elements will not change in future years. This is not likely to occur, and actual results will either be more or less favorable than those shown. The illustrated investment results are hypothetical. They should not be viewed as representative of past performance nor indicative of future results. Actual investment performance will differ depending on the investment allocation chosen and the actual return of the Investment Choices. This inforce illustration is based on your Policy's current values and death benefit as of the last month-a-versary date. These values are used as the starting value in the current policy year. No values are shown for previous policy years. The illustration uses these values, planned future premium payments, a hypothetical rate of return (including a 0% return) and other factors to show hypothetical future values based on current and guaranteed policy charges. Planned Premium Outlay: The planned premium outlay shown each year in the illustration is the sum of the periodic premium payments you plan to make each policy year. Premium Payments are assumed to be paid at the beginning of each payment period, while the illustrated death benefits, account values, cash surrender values and any policy indebtedness are shown at the end of each policy year.

3 Narrative Summary Policy Withdrawals: Policy Loans: Indebtedness: This illustration assumes that planned withdrawals (if any) are distributed in annual payments, beginning on the policy anniversary of the year in which withdrawals begin. This illustration assumes that planned loans (if any) are distributed in annual payments, beginning on the policy anniversary of the year in which loans begin. Policy Indebtedness is equal to loans taken plus the interest charged to loans minus any loan repayments. Indebtedness is shown as of the end of the policy year. The Separate Account: The Sub-Accounts are subdivisions of the Company's Separate Account. The assets of the Separate Account are separate from the assets of the Company, and investment performance is independent from the investment performance of the Company's other assets. Separate Account assets are subject to possible investment loss, including loss of principal. Hypothetical Gross Investment Return: The hypothetical gross investment returns illustrated are not guaranteed and will vary according to the investment performance of the selected Investment Options. This illustration is based on Hypothetical 0.00% and 8.00% gross rates of return, which correspond to annual net rates of return of -0.88% and 7.12%, respectively. Account Value: The Account Value equals the sum of premiums paid plus investment performance credited minus policy charges and reductions due to withdrawals and other insurance benefits. This illustration shows your Account Value at the end of the policy year. Cash Surrender Value: The Cash Surrender Value is the Account Value less surrender charges and any Indebtedness. This illustration shows your Cash Surrender Value at the end of the policy year. Net Death Benefit: Guaranteed Elements of Your Policy: Non-Guaranteed Elements of Your Policy: The Net Death Benefit is the amount payable in the event of the insured's death assuming the death occurs at the end of the policy year shown. This is equal to the death benefit of the policy minus any Indebtedness. Net Death Benefit is referred to as Death Proceeds in your policy. Net Death Benefit is shown as of the end of the policy year. Your life insurance policy has guaranteed elements (e.g., maximum policy charges, maximum loan rates). All Guarantees within the policy are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company. Guarantees do not apply to the variable investment options. Your life insurance policy also has non-guaranteed elements. The non-guaranteed values illustrated reflect current company experience. They assume lower policy charges than those guaranteed.

4 Narrative Summary Policy Fees and Charges: Refer to your policy for a description of the policy fees and charges including premium loads, premium tax charges, administrative charges, monthly mortality and expense risk charge, investment management fees, charge per $1,000 of Face Amount, transfer charges, and surrender charges. Tax Considerations: Definition of Life Insurance (IRC 7702): Based on our interpretation, this illustrated policy meets the definition of a life insurance contract under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code by complying with the Guideline Premium Test. Current Guideline Single Premium = $34, Current Guideline Level Premium = $7, The illustrated values will show an increase in Death Benefits, if necessary, to comply with these guidelines. This increase may require evidence of insurability. Below, the Current Guideline Premium Limit is the maximum premiums allowed to date. This is the maximum of the Guideline Single Premium or the cumulative Guideline Level Premiums to date. The Current Premium Basis is the total premiums paid for guideline testing. Current Guideline Premium Limit = $34, Current Premium Basis = $1, Modified Endowment Contracts (IRC 7702A): In order to receive the most favorable income tax treatment of pre-death policy distributions from your policy (such as loans and withdrawals) under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702A, a life insurance policy must satisfy a 7-Pay Premium limitation test during the first 7 policy years and during the 7 years following certain policy changes. Premiums paid in excess of this limitation create a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) and thereby cause pre-death policy distributions to be taxable to the extent there is a gain in the contract. In addition there is a Federal Income Tax penalty of 10% of taxable income for pre-death policy distributions from MECs before the policy owner's age 59½ with certain exceptions. Current 7-Pay Premium = $5, Below, the Current 7-Pay Premium Limit is the maximum premiums allowed to date without becoming a MEC. The Current 7-Pay Premium Basis is the total premiums paid for MEC testing. Current 7-Pay Premium Limit = $5, Current 7-Pay Premium Basis = $1, Page 4 of 9 - Not valid without all pages

5 Narrative Summary Optional Riders/Benefits: Accelerated Death Benefit Rider (for terminal illness) Overloan Protection Rider Provides an accelerated payment of life insurance proceeds up to 100% of the Death Benefit discounted with interest one year if primary insured's diminished life expectancy is 12 months or less (24 months in some states) (subject to limitations). The sum of the Benefit you may request under this and any other policies issued by us on the life of an insured may not exceed $500,000. The rider must be elected at issue. There is no additional ongoing charge for the rider, but an administrative processing fee of up to $ applies if the rider is invoked. Gives you the option to continue your policy at a reduced Death Benefit with no further Monthly Deduction Amounts in the event your policy is in danger of policy default or termination due to excessive Indebtedness. At the time you elect the benefit under the rider, a transaction charge (maximum of 7% of Account Value) will be deducted from your Account Value. Page 5 of 9 - Not valid without all pages

P - For all or a portion of the policy year the No Lapse Guarantee became unavailable due to insufficient premiums. **** - Illustrated values assume you choose not to make any out-of-pocket premium outlay for this policy year. Policy charges continue in all years, but are paid from the Account Value. You may be required to resume premium outlays if actual policy results are less favorable than those illustrated. For the current year, if your payments are past due they are not included in the projected values. Paying past due premiums may change your MEC and guideline premium compliance. This illustration assumes that loans and withdrawals are distributed in annual payments, beginning on the policy anniversary of the year in which disbursements begin. Both loans and withdrawals from a permanent life insurance policy may be subject to penalties and fees and, along with any accrued loan interest, will reduce the policy's Account Value and Death Benefit. Depending upon the performance of a VUL policy's investment choices, the Account Value may be worth more or less than the original amount invested in the policy. Assuming a policy is not a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), withdrawals are taxed only to the extent that they exceed the policyowner's cost basis in the policy and usually loans are free from current Federal taxation. A policy loan could result in tax consequences if the policy lapses or is surrendered while a loan is outstanding. Distributions from MECs are subject to Federal income tax to the extent of the gain in the policy and taxable distributions are subject to a 10% additional tax prior to age 59 1/2, with certain exceptions.
