Indenture and an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect
that any such action shall not cause the Trust not to be disregarded or treated
as a grantor trust (assuming such Trust were not disregarded) for United States
federal income tax purposes. The Delaware Trustee, upon a Responsible Officer
obtaining actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Funding Agreement Event of
Default, will notify the Indenture Trustee of any such Funding Agreement Event
of Default.

     (f)   Each of the Delaware Trustee and the Administrator is authorized and
directed to conduct the affairs of the Trust and to operate the Trust (i) so
that the Trust will not become required to register as an "investment company"

disregarded) for United States federal income tax purposes. In connection with
the preceding sentence, neither the Delaware Trustee nor the Administrator shall
have any duty to determine whether any action it takes complies with the
preceding sentence and shall be entitled to rely conclusively on an opinion of
counsel with respect to any such matters.

                                       18

governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind and in accordance
with payment or transfer instructions provided by Hartford Life;

     (n)   the Delaware Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to manage,
control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise deal with the Trust or to otherwise
take or refrain from taking any action under the Agreement, except as expressly
required by the terms hereof, or as expressly provided in written instructions
from the Trust Beneficial Owner, and in no event shall the Delaware Trustee have
any implied duties or obligations under the Agreement; the Delaware Trustee

are not related to the ownership or the administration of the property of the
Trust or the transactions contemplated by the Issuance Documents;

     (o)   the Delaware Trustee shall not be required to take any action under
the Agreement unless the Delaware Trustee shall have been indemnified by
Hartford Life, in manner and form satisfactory to the Delaware Trustee, against
any liability, cost or expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) which
may be incurred in connection therewith, and, if the Trust Beneficial Owner
shall have directed the Delaware Trustee to take any such action or refrain from
taking any action, the Trust Beneficial Owner agrees to furnish such indemnity
from Hartford Life as shall be required and, in addition, to cause Hartford Life
to pay the reasonable compensation of the Delaware Trustee for the services
performed or to be performed by it pursuant to such direction; PROVIDED, THAT
the Delaware Trustee may not be indemnified by Hartford Life, the Trust
Beneficial Owner or any other Person for the Delaware Trustee's willful
misconduct or gross negligence, its failure to use ordinary care to disburse

individual capacity, contained herein; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that any indemnity or
payment of compensation shall be made pursuant to the Expense and Indemnity
Agreements and shall be limited to the extent indicated therein;

     (p)   the Delaware Trustee shall not be required to take any action under
the Agreement if the Delaware Trustee shall reasonably determine or shall have
been advised by counsel that such action is contrary to the terms of the
Agreement or is otherwise contrary to law;

     (q)   the Delaware Trustee may fully rely upon and shall have no liability
in connection with calculations or instructions forwarded to the Delaware
Trustee by the Trust Beneficial Owner, the Administrator or the Indenture
Trustee, nor shall the Delaware Trustee have any obligation to furnish
information to any Trust Beneficial Owner or other Person if it has not received
such information as it may need from the Trust Beneficial Owner, the
Administrator or the Indenture Trustee or any other Person;

     (r)   the Delaware Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any act or
omission in good faith in accordance with the advice or direction of the Trust
Beneficial Owner, the Administrator or Indenture Trustee. Whenever the Delaware
Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted or
required by the terms of the Agreement, or is unsure as to the application,
intent, interpretation or meaning of any provision hereof, the Delaware Trustee
may give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances)
to the

                                       19
<Page>

Trust Beneficial Owner requesting instructions as to the course of action to be
adopted, and, to the extent the Delaware Trustee acts in good faith in
accordance with any such instruction received, the Delaware Trustee shall not be
liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Delaware Trustee shall
not have received appropriate instructions within ten days of such notice (or
within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice
or may be necessary under the circumstances), it may, but shall be under no duty
to, take or refrain from taking such action which is consistent, in its view,
with the Agreement and as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Trust
Beneficial Owner, and the Delaware Trustee shall have no liability to any Person
for such action or inaction;

     (s)   in no event whatsoever shall the Delaware Trustee be personally
liable for any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, indebtedness or
other obligation of the Trust;

     (t)   the Delaware Trustee shall incur no liability if, by reason of any
provision of any present or future law or regulation thereunder, or by any force
majeure event, including but not limited to natural disaster, war or other
circumstances beyond its control, the Delaware Trustee shall be prevented or
forbidden from doing or performing any act or thing which the terms of the
Agreement provide shall or may be done or performed; and

     (u)   notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Delaware Trustee shall not be required to execute, deliver or certify on behalf
of the Trust any filings, certificates, affidavits or other instruments required
under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and

     (v)   notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither
Wilmington Trust Company nor the Delaware Trustee shall be required to take any
action in any jurisdiction other than in the State of Delaware if the taking of
such action will (i) require the consent or approval or authorization or order
of or the giving of notice to, or the registration with or the taking of any
other action in respect of, any state or other governmental authority or agency
of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; (ii) result in any fee,
tax or other governmental charge under the laws of any jurisdiction or any
political subdivisions thereof in existence on the date hereof other than the
State of Delaware becoming payable by Wilmington Trust Company; or (iii) subject
Wilmington Trust Company to personal jurisdiction in any jurisdiction other than
the State of Delaware for causes of action arising from acts unrelated to the
consummation of the transactions by Wilmington Trust Company or the Delaware
Trustee, as the case may be, contemplated hereby. The Delaware Trustee shall be
entitled to obtain advice of counsel (which advice shall be an expense of
Hartford Life) to determine whether any action required to be taken pursuant to
the Agreement results in the consequences described in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) of the preceding sentence. In the event that said counsel advises the
Delaware Trustee that such action will result in such consequences, the Delaware
Trustee will appoint an additional trustee pursuant to SECTION 8.05 hereof to
proceed with such action.

     (a)   The Delaware Trustee shall incur no liability to anyone in acting
upon any signature, instrument, notice, resolution, request, consent, order,

parties. The Delaware Trustee may accept a certified copy of a resolution of

                                       20
<Page>

the board of directors or other governing body of any corporate party as
conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted by such body and
that the same is in full force and effect. As to any fact or matter the manner
of ascertainment of which is not specifically prescribed herein, the Delaware
Trustee may for all purposes hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the
president or any vice president or by the treasurer or any assistant treasurer
or the secretary or any assistant secretary of the relevant party, as to such
fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the
Delaware Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith
in reliance thereon.

     (b)   In the exercise or administration of the Trust, the Delaware Trustee
(i) may act directly or, at the expense of Hartford Life pursuant to the Expense
and Indemnity Agreements, through agents or attorneys pursuant to agreements
entered into with any of them, and the Delaware Trustee shall not be liable for
the action, inaction, default or misconduct of such agents or attorneys if such
agents or attorneys shall have been selected by the Delaware Trustee in good
faith and with reasonable care, and (ii) may, at the expense of Hartford Life
pursuant to the Expense and Indemnity Agreements, consult with counsel,
accountants and other skilled persons to be selected in good faith and with
reasonable care and employed by it, and it shall not be liable for anything
done, suffered or omitted to be done in good faith by it in accordance with the
written opinion or advice of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled
persons.

     Section 6.06   DELEGATION OF AUTHORITIES AND DUTIES. The Delaware Trustee
delegates to the Administrator all duties required to be performed by the
Administrator pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Administrative

performance, or non-performance, of any duties delegated to the Indenture
Trustee or the Administrator hereunder or thereunder.

     Section 6.07   COMPENSATION; INDEMNITIES. Notwithstanding anything in the
Agreement to the contrary, the Delaware Trustee will be entitled to payment of
fees, reimbursement and indemnification with respect to costs and expenses, for
services rendered hereunder to the extent provided in the applicable Expense and
Indemnity Agreement and the Delaware Trustee will not be entitled to seek any
payment from the Trust with respect to its services hereunder.

obligations with respect to the Trust or the Securityholders.

     Upon the last event to occur as described above, the Delaware Trustee shall

cancellation with the Secretary of State. Upon the filing of such certificate of
cancellation, the Agreement shall be of no function, form or effect and the
Trust shall terminate.

     Section 7.03   LIQUIDATION. Upon the Trust Expiration Date, the remaining
Collateral and any other assets held in the Trust shall be liquidated, and the
Trust shall be wound-up by the Administrator in accordance with Section 3808(d)
and (e) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. In such event, (i) the Trust shall

due on such Notes under the Indenture have been paid).

                                    ARTICLE 8

                   SUCCESSOR AND ADDITIONAL DELAWARE TRUSTEES

     Section 8.01   ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DELAWARE TRUSTEE. The
Delaware Trustee shall at all times (a) be a Person satisfying the provisions of
Section 3807(a) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, (b) be authorized to

the Delaware Trustee shall publish reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to applicable law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising
or examining authority, then for the purpose of this SECTION 8.01, the combined
capital and surplus of the Delaware Trustee shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time the Delaware Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this SECTION 8.01, the Delaware Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in SECTION 8.02.

     Section 8.02   RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF THE DELAWARE TRUSTEE. The Delaware
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder and
the Trust hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Trust
Beneficial Owner and Indenture Trustee at least 60 days before the date

                                       22
<Page>

Trust Beneficial Owner shall promptly appoint a successor Delaware Trustee
meeting the qualifications set forth in SECTION 8.01 by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the
resigning Delaware Trustee, the successor Delaware Trustee, any remaining
Delaware Trustees, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and Hartford Life.
If no successor Delaware Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 90 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Delaware Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Delaware Trustee.

     If at any time the Delaware Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of SECTION 8.01 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Trust Beneficial Owner and Indenture Trustee, or
if at any time the Delaware Trustee shall be legally unable to act or shall be
adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Delaware Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Delaware Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Trust Beneficial Owner and
Indenture Trustee may remove such Delaware Trustee. If the Trust Beneficial
Owner and Indenture Trustee shall remove the Delaware Trustee under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Trust Beneficial Owner
shall promptly appoint a successor Delaware Trustee meeting the qualification
requirements of SECTION 8.01 by (i) the execution of a written instrument, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to each of the outgoing Delaware
Trustee so removed, the successor Delaware Trustee, the Administrator, the
Indenture Trustee and Hartford Life and (ii) the payment of all fees and
expenses owed to the outgoing Delaware Trustee.

     Any resignation or removal of the Delaware Trustee and appointment of a
successor Delaware Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this SECTION
8.02 shall not become effective until all fees and expenses, including any
indemnity payments, due to the outgoing Delaware Trustee have been paid and
until acceptance of appointment by the successor Delaware Trustee pursuant to
SECTION 8.03.

     Section 8.03   SUCCESSOR DELAWARE TRUSTEE. Any successor Delaware Trustee
appointed pursuant to SECTION 8.02 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Trust Beneficial Owner, the Administrator, the Indenture Trustee and the
predecessor Delaware Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment under the
Agreement, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Delaware
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Delaware Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights,
powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor under the Agreement, with
like effect as if originally named as Delaware Trustee. The predecessor Delaware
Trustee shall deliver to the successor Delaware Trustee all documents and
statements and monies held by it under the Agreement; and the predecessor
Delaware Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other
things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor Delaware Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.

     No successor Delaware Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
SECTION 8.03 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Delaware
Trustee shall be eligible pursuant to SECTION 8.01.

     Section 8.04   MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF DELAWARE TRUSTEE. Any Person into
which the Delaware Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Delaware Trustee shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Delaware Trustee, shall, without the execution or filing of any instrument or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, be the successor of the Delaware Trustee hereunder;
PROVIDED, such Person shall be eligible pursuant to SECTION 8.01.

     Section 8.05   APPOINTMENT OF CO-DELAWARE TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE DELAWARE
TRUSTEE.

     (a)   Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Agreement, at any time,
for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which
any part of any Collateral may at the time be located, the Delaware Trustee
shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint
one or more Persons approved by the Delaware Trustee to act as co-trustee,
jointly with it, or as separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part
of any Collateral, and subject to SECTION 2.10 of the Agreement to vest in such
Person, in such capacity, such title to any Collateral, or any part thereof,
and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers, duties,
obligations, rights and trusts as the Delaware Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee under the Agreement shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Delaware Trustee
pursuant to SECTION 8.03 and no notice of the appointment of any co-trustee or
separate trustee shall be required; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any co-trustee or
separate trustee must be a "United States person" within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code and a "bank" within the meaning of Section 581 of the
Code.

     (b)   Each separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:

           (i)      all rights, powers, duties, and obligations conferred or
     imposed upon the Delaware Trustee shall be conferred upon and exercised or
     performed by the Delaware Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
     jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is
     not authorized to act separately without the Delaware Trustee joining in
     such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in
     which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Delaware Trustee
     shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which
     event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of
     title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall
     be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee,
     but solely at the discretion of the trustee;

           (ii)     the Administrator and the Delaware Trustee acting jointly
     may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or
     co-trustee; and

                                       24
<Page>

           (iii)    no trustee shall be personally liable by reason of the act
     or omission of any other trustee hereunder.

     (c)   Any notice, request or other writing given to the Delaware Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustee and
co-trustee, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this SECTION 8.05
and the conditions of this ARTICLE 8. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instruments of appointment, either jointly with the
Delaware Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of the Agreement, specifically including every provision of the
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Delaware Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with
the Delaware Trustee and a copy thereof given to the Administrator.

     (d)   Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the
Delaware Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority,
to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of
the Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of
its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Delaware Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor Delaware Trustee.

     Section 8.06   DELAWARE TRUSTEE MAY OWN NOTES. Except to the extent
prohibited under the terms of the Notes, the Delaware Trustee, in its individual
or any other capacity, may become the beneficial owner or pledgee of Notes, to
the extent that such ownership does not inhibit the Trust from relying on Rule
3a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, with the same rights as it
would have if it were not the Delaware Trustee; PROVIDED, THAT any Notes so
owned or pledged shall not be entitled to participate in any decisions made or
instructions given to the Delaware Trustee or the Indenture Trustee by the
Holders as a group. The Delaware Trustee may deal with the Trust and the Trust
Beneficial Owner in banking and trustee transactions with the same rights as it
would have if it were not the Delaware Trustee.

                    VOTING; ACTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS; MEETINGS

     Section 9.01   LIMITATIONS ON VOTING RIGHTS. Except as provided in the
Agreement or in the Indenture or as otherwise required by law, no Holder of
Trust Securities shall have any right to vote or in any manner otherwise control
the administration, operation and management of the Trust or the obligations of
the parties hereto, nor shall anything herein set forth, or contained in the
terms of the Trust Securities, be construed so as to constitute the
Securityholders from time to time as members of an association.

     Section 9.02   MEETINGS OF THE TRUST BENEFICIAL OWNER. No annual or other
meeting of the Trust Beneficial Owner is required to be held.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     Section 10.01  LIMITATION ON RIGHTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS.

     (a)   The death, bankruptcy, termination, dissolution or incapacity of any
Person having an interest, beneficial or otherwise, in Trust Securities or the
Trust shall not operate to terminate the Agreement, nor to annul, dissolve or
terminate the Trust, nor to entitle the legal successors, representatives or
heirs of such Person or any Securityholder for such Person, to claim an
accounting, take any action or bring any proceeding in any court for a partition
or winding up of the arrangements contemplated hereby, nor otherwise affect the
rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto or any of them.

     (b)   Except as provided in the Indenture, no Securityholder shall have any
right by virtue of any provision of the Agreement to institute any suit, action
or proceeding in equity or at law with respect to the Agreement, unless (i) the
Securityholders shall have made written request upon the Delaware Trustee to
institute such suit, action or proceeding in the name of the Trust and shall
have offered to the Delaware Trustee and the Trust such reasonable indemnity as
they may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
thereby and (ii) the Delaware Trustee, for 30 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to
institute any such suit, action or proceeding. It is expressly understood and
covenanted by each Securityholder with every other Securityholder, the Trust and
the Delaware Trustee, that no one or more Securityholder shall have any right in
any manner whatever by availing itself or themselves of any provision of the
Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other
Securityholder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to
any other such Securityholder, or to enforce any right under the Agreement,
except in the manner herein provided.

     Section 10.02  AMENDMENT.

     (a)   At any time before the issuance of any Notes, this Trust Agreement
may be amended by, and only by, a written instrument executed by Delaware
Trustee and the Trust Beneficial Owner.

     (b)   At any time after the issuance of any Notes, the Agreement may be
amended from time to time by the Delaware Trustee and the Trust Beneficial
Owner, by, and only by, a written instrument executed by the Delaware Trustee
and the Trust Beneficial Owner, in any way that is not inconsistent with the
intent of the Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) to cure any
ambiguity, (ii) to correct, supplement or modify any provision in the Agreement
that is inconsistent with another provision herein or, (iii) to modify,
eliminate or add to any provisions of the Agreement to the extent necessary to
ensure that the Trust will be classified for United States federal income tax
purposes as disregarded or treated as a grantor trust (assuming such Trust were
not disregarded) at all times or to ensure that the Trust will not be required
to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act and no
such amendment shall require the consent of any other Securityholder, except to
the extent specified in SECTIONS 10.02(c) and 10.02(d).

                                       26
<Page>

     (c)   At any time after the issuance of any Notes and for so long as any
Trust Securities remain outstanding, except as provided in SECTION 10.02(d), any
amendment to this Trust Agreement that would adversely affect, in any material
respect, the terms of any Notes, other then any amendment of the type
contemplated by clause (iii) of SECTION 10.02(b), shall require the prior
consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the
Notes.

     (d)   At any time after the issuance of any Notes and for so long as any
Notes remain outstanding, the Agreement may not be amended to (i) change the
amount or timing of any payment of any Notes or (ii) impair the right of any
Securityholder to institute suit for the enforcement of any right for principal
and interest or other distribution without the consent of each affected
Securityholder.

     (e)   The Delaware Trustee shall not be required to enter into any
amendment to the Agreement which affects its own rights, duties or immunities
under the Agreement.

     (f)   Prior to execution of any amendment to the Agreement, the Delaware
Trustee shall be entitled to an opinion of counsel as to whether such amendment
is permitted by the terms of the Agreement and whether all conditions precedent
to such amendment have been met.

     (g)   Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Administrator shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent (including those
obtained or effected hereby) to the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Beneficial
Owner, Hartford Life, the agents under the Distribution Agreement and the Rating
Agencies;

     (h)   Contemporaneously with, or promptly after, the execution of any
amendment hereto requiring amendment to the Certificate of Trust, the Delaware
Trustee shall cause the filing of such amendment to the Certificate of Trust
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

     (i)   Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, (i) no
amendment to the Agreement may be made if such amendment would cause the Trust
not to be disregarded or treated as a grantor trust (assuming such Trust were
not disregarded) for United States federal income tax purposes and (ii) no
amendment to the Agreement may be made without the prior consent of Hartford
Life.
