2 How the Policy Works Your policy premiums buy life insurance with the potential growth of account value. Once applicable sales charges and taxes are deducted, the net premiums are invested in the investment choices you select. The performance of the investment choices will determine your policy s account value, which will fluctuate. Charges are deducted monthly from the policy account value. The policy value must be sufficient to cover the monthly charges and help ensure that the death benefit is funded. Upon your death, your beneficiary will receive the income tax-free death benefit of the policy minus any outstanding loans or withdrawals. The death benefit may be included in your estate for Federal estate tax purposes. 12 Professional Money Managers Aggressive Growth Hartford Growth Opportunities HLS Fund Hartford International Small Company HLS Fund Putnam VT Capital Opportunities Fund Putnam VT New Opportunities Fund Income American Funds Bond Fund Hartford Mortgage Securities HLS Fund Hartford Total Return Bond HLS Fund Putnam VT High Yield Fund Putnam VT Income Fund Growth and Income American Funds Blue Chip Income and Growth Fund American Funds Growth-Income Fund Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio Franklin Income Securities Fund Hartford Disciplined Equity HLS Fund Hartford Dividend and Growth HLS Fund Hartford Index HLS Fund Lord Abbett America s Value Portfolio Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio MFS Investors Trust Series Mutual Shares Securities Fund Oppenheimer Main Street Fund /VA Putnam VT Equity Income Fund Putnam VT Growth and Income Fund Van Kampen LIT Comstock Portfolio A Fixed Account is available in certain states.

3 Features and Benefits Hartford Variable Universal Life Last Survivor is a life insurance policy covering two lives. The policy pays a death benefit upon the death of the second insured. When properly structured within the context of an estate plan and an irrevocable life insurance trust, the policy can provide income and estate tax-free liquidity. The policy offers a number of flexible features, policy access and tax advantages. Flexible Features Death Benefit Options At issue, you select one of three options where the death benefit equals: Option A (Level Option): the current face amount, subject to certain limitations. Option B (Return of Account Value Option): the current face amount plus the account value on the date proof of death is received. Option C (Return of Premium Option): the current face amount plus the lesser of a) the sum of all paid premiums, or b) the Return of Premium limit of $5 million. (Available only after issue) Option D (Decreasing Option): Death Benefit equals the current Face Amount plus the lesser of: a) the Account Value on the date we receive proof of the surviving insured s death, or b) the Account Value on the date the Death Benefit Option is changed from Option B to Option D, reduced by any withdrawals. Investment Choices The policy offers a diverse range of variable investment options and a Fixed Account. You may select up to 20 investment choices at any one time. Transfers are subject to changes and restrictions. Premium Payments Minimum Face Amount Face Amount Changes Policy Access Loans* You determine the premium amount and payment schedule. The amount of planned premium can be increased or decreased, with certain limitations. $100,000 (currently) Increase: A minimum increase of $100,000 (based on rules currently in effect) can be requested after your policy s 1 st anniversary.
