Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 31, 2010, The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“HFSG”), Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company (“HLA”) and certain affiliates, including the Registrant, entered into an Intercompany Liquidity Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement establishes a process for making short-term loans between affiliates for liquidity and other general corporate purposes. A copy of the Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Under the terms of the Agreement, neither any individual loan nor the total aggregate outstanding loans made between the parties shall exceed $2 billion in principal. The maturity dates of the individual loans made between the parties will be less than or equal to 364 days from the date of issuance and may be extended subject to the request of the borrower and approval of the lender. Interest rates will be determined at the time of borrowing (or extension if applicable) based on market rates. The Agreement does not establish a commitment to advance funds. Advances under the Agreement are made at the sole discretion of the party being asked to make an advance and can be prepaid without penalty. Any party can terminate its participation in the Agreement at any time. As of the date of this Form 8-K, no amounts have been drawn under the Agreement.

The Registrant is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HLA, which is, in turn, an indirect subsidiary of HFSG.
