                         VARIABLE LIFE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                              NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Valley  Forge  Life  Insurance   Company  Variable  Life  Separate  Account
("Variable Account"), a unit investment trust registered with the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940,  is a separate
account of Valley Forge Life Insurance  Company  ("VFL").  The Variable  Account
began  operations  on February 24, 1997.  VFL is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of
Continental  Assurance  Company  ("Assurance").   Assurance  is  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Continental Casualty Company  ("Casualty"),  which is wholly-owned
by CNA Financial  Corporation ("CNA").  Loews Corporation owns approximately 86%
of the outstanding common stock of CNA.

     VFL sells a wide range of life  insurance  products,  including the Capital
Select  Variable  Life  Policy  ("Policy").  Under  the  terms  of  the  Policy,
policyowners  select where the net premium  payments of the Policy are invested.
The policyowner may choose to invest in either the Variable  Account,  the fixed
account of VFL ("Fixed Account") or both the Variable Account and Fixed Account.
Policyowners who invest in the Variable  Account are hereinafter  referred to as
the contractholder.

     The Variable Account  currently offers 18 subaccounts each of which invests
in shares of a corresponding fund ("Fund"),  in which the  contractholders  bear
all of the  investment  risk.  Each  Fund  is  either  an  open-end  diversified
management  investment  company or a  separate  investment  portfolio  of such a
company  and  is  managed  by  a  registered   investment  advisor  ("Investment
Advisor"). The Investment Advisors and subaccounts are identified in Notes 3.

     The  Fixed  Account  is  part  of the  general  account  of  VFL  and is an
investment option available to  contractholders.  The Fixed Account has not been
registered  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933 nor has the Fixed  Account  been
registered as an investment  company under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940.
The  accompanying  financial  statements do not reflect amounts  invested in the
Fixed Account.

     The assets of the  Variable  Account  are  segregated  from  VFL's  general
account and other separate  accounts.  The  contractholder  (before the maturity
date,  while the  contractholder  is still  living or the policy is inforce) may
transfer all or part of any subaccount value to another  subaccount(s) or to the
Fixed  Account or  transfer  all or part of amounts in the Fixed  Account to any
subaccount(s).

               NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS -- Investments  consist of shares of the Funds and
are  stated at  market  value  based on quoted  market  prices.  Changes  in the
difference  between market value and cost are reflected as net unrealized  gains
(losses) in the statement of operations.

     INVESTMENT  INCOME -- Investment  income consists of dividends  declared by
the Funds that are recognized on the date of record.

     REALIZED  INVESTMENT  GAINS AND  LOSSES --  Realized  investment  gains and
losses represent the difference between the proceeds from sales of shares of the
Funds  held by the  Variable  Account  and the cost of such  shares,  which  are
determined using the average cost method.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- Net investment income and realized gains and losses
on investments of the Variable Account are taxable to contractholders  generally
upon distribution.  Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded
in the accompanying financial statements.

     USE OF ESTIMATES -- The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity
with generally accepted  accounting  principles  ("GAAP") requires management to
make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and
liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses
during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of Variable  Account's  management,  these statements include all
adjustments,  consisting of normal recurring  accruals,  which are necessary for
the fair  presentation  of the financial  position,  results of  operations  and
changes in net assets in the accompanying financial statements.

                         NOTE 5. CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Monthly  deductions are made from each  contractholder's  account under the
terms of the Policy to compensate VFL for certain  administration  expenses. The
policy fee is $6 per month.  In addition,  in the first year of a policy another
$20 per month is deducted. Furthermore, in the event of an increase to the death
benefit of the Policy,  an  additional  fee of $10 per month is deducted for the
twelve months  subsequent to the death benefit  increase.  A daily  deduction is
also made for the cost of insurance and any charges for supplemental riders. The
cost of insurance  charge is based on the sex,  attained  age,  issue age,  risk
class,  and number of years that the policy or increment of specified amount has
been  in  force.   All  of  the   foregoing   charges  are  deducted   from  the
contractholder's  investment  in the Fixed  Account and the  subaccounts  of the
Variable  Account in  proportion  to the  contractholder's  investments  in such
accounts.

     VFL  deducts a daily  charge  from the  assets of the  Variable  Account to
compensate  it for mortality and expense risks that it assumes under the policy.
The daily  charge is equal to an annual  rate of 0.90% of the net  assets of the
Variable Account during the first 10 policy years and an annual rate of 0.45% of
the net assets of the Variable Account during policy years 11 and thereafter.

     VFL deducts an amount  equal to 3.5% from each  premium  payment  (deposit)
made by the  contractholder to cover federal tax liabilities and state and local
premium  taxes.  An additional  deduction for sales charges is made from premium
payments  (deposits).  Such  deduction is made under the terms of the Policy and
ranges from 2% to 4% of the premium payments (deposits).

     VFL permits 12 transfers  between and among the  subaccounts  (one of which
can be applied to the Fixed  Account) per policy year without an assessment of a
fee.  For each  additional  transfer,  VFL  charges  $25 at the time  each  such
transfer is processed. The fee is deducted from the amount being transferred.  -
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      NOTE 6. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
(the  Code),  a  variable  life  insurance  policy  will not be  treated as life
insurance  under  Section  7702  of the  Code  for  any  period  for  which  the
investments of the segregated asset account on which the policy is based are not
adequately  diversified.  The Code  provides that the  "adequately  diversified"
requirement may be met if the underlying  investments satisfy either a statutory
safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued
by the Secretary of the Treasury.  VFL believes,  based on the  prospectuses  of
each of the Funds that the  Variable  Account  participates  in,  that the Funds
satisfy the diversification requirement of the regulations.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the  Contractholders  of Valley Forge Life  Insurance  Company  Variable Life
Separate  Account  and the Board of  Directors  of Valley  Forge Life  Insurance
Company:

     We have audited the  accompanying  statements of assets and  liabilities of
the  subaccounts of Valley Forge Life Insurance  Company  Variable Life Separate
Account  (the  "Account")  as of December  31, 1998 and  related  1997,  and the
related  statements of  operations  and changes in net assets for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and the period from inception  through  December 31, 1997. The
subaccounts that collectively comprise the Account are the Federated Prime Money
Fund II, Federated Utility Fund II, Federated High Income Bond Fund II, Fidelity
Variable  Insurance  Products Fund  Equity-Income  Portfolio,  Fidelity Variable
Insurance Products Fund II Asset Manager Portfolio,  Fidelity Variable Insurance
Products Fund II Index 500 Portfolio,  Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund
II Contrafund Portfolio, The Alger American Small Capitalization  Portfolio, The
Alger American Growth Portfolio, The Alger American MidCap Growth Portfolio, MFS
Emerging Growth Series,  MFS Research Series, MFS Growth With Income Series, MFS
Limited Maturity Series, MFS Total Return Series,  SoGen Overseas Variable Fund,
Van Eck  Worldwide  Hard Assets Fund and Van Eck Emerging  Markets  Fund.  These
financial   statements  are  the   responsibility  of  the  Variable   Account's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation  of  securities  owned at December 31, 1998 and 1997. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by  management,   as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall   financial   statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

     In our opinion,  such financial  statements present fairly, in all material
respects,  the financial  position of each of the subaccounts  that comprise the
Account as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,  the results of their  operations  and
the  changes in their net assets for the year ended  December  31,  1998 and the
period from inception  through  December 31, 1997, in conformity  with generally
accepted accounting principles.

               NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS -- Investments  consist of shares of the Funds and
are  stated  at fair  value  based  on  quoted  market  prices.  Changes  in the
difference  between market value and cost are reflected as net unrealized  gains
(losses) in the statement of operations.

     INVESTMENT  INCOME -- Investment  income consists of dividends  declared by
the Funds which are recognized on the date of record.

     REALIZED  INVESTMENT  GAINS AND  LOSSES --  Realized  investment  gains and
losses represent the difference between the proceeds from sales of shares of the
Funds  held by the  Variable  Account  and the cost of such  shares,  which  are
determined using the average cost method.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- Net investment income and realized gains and losses
on investments of the Variable Account are taxable to contractholders  generally
upon distribution.  Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded
in the accompanying financial statements.

     USE OF ESTIMATES -- The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity
with generally accepted  accounting  principles  ("GAAP") requires management to
make estimates and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and
liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of
the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses
during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                         NOTE 3. CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Monthly  deductions are made from each  contractholder's  account under the
terms of the Policy to compensate VFL for certain  administration  expenses. The
policy fee is $6 per month.  In addition,  in the first year of a policy another
$20 per month is deducted. Furthermore, in the event of an increase to the death
benefit of the Policy,  an  additional  fee of $10 per month is deducted for the
twelve months subsequent to the death benefit increase. A deduction is also made
for the cost of insurance and any charges for supplemental  riders.  The cost of
insurance  charge is based on the sex,  attained age, issue age, risk class, and
number of years that the policy or  increment  of  specified  amount has been in
force.  All of the  foregoing  charges are  deducted  from the  contractholder's
investment in the Fixed Account and the  subaccounts of the Variable  Account in
proportion to the contractholder's investments in such accounts.

     VFL  deducts a daily  charge  from the  assets of the  Variable  Account to
compensate  it for mortality and expense risks that it assumes under the policy.
The daily  charge is equal to an annual  rate of 0.90% of the net  assets of the
Variable Account during the first 10 policy years and an annual rate of 0.45% of
the net assets of the Variable Account during policy years 11 and thereafter.

     VFL deducts an amount  equal to 3.5% from each  premium  payment  (deposit)
made by the  contractholder to cover federal tax liabilities and state and local
premium  taxes.  An additional  deduction for sales charges is made from premium
payments  (deposits).  Such  deduction is made under the terms of the Policy and
ranges from 2% to 4% of the premium payments (deposits).

     VFL permits 12 transfers  between and among the  subaccounts  (one of which
can be applied to the Fixed  Account) per policy year without an assessment of a
fee.  For each  additional  transfer,  VFL  charges  $25 at the time  each  such
transfer is processed. The fee is deducted from the amount being transferred.  -

                      NOTE 4. DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
(the  Code),  a  variable  life  insurance  policy  will not be  treated as life
insurance  under  Section  7702  of the  Code  for  any  period  for  which  the
investments of the segregated asset account on which the policy is based are not
adequately  diversified.  The Code  provides that the  "adequately  diversified"
requirement may be met if the underlying  investments satisfy either a statutory
safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued
by the Secretary of the Treasury.  VFL believes,  based on the  prospectuses  of
each of the Funds that the  Variable  Account  participates  in, that the mutual
funds satisfy the diversification requirement of the regulations.

    NOTE 5. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF YEAR 2000 IMPACT ON VARIABLE ACCOUNT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The  widespread  use of computer  programs,  both in the United  States and
internationally,  that rely on two digit date fields to perform computations and
decision  making  functions  may cause  computer  systems  to  malfunction  when
processing  information  involving dates  beginning in 1999.  Such  malfunctions
could  lead to  business  delays  and  disruptions.  Separate  Account  does not
maintain  any  systems.  Instead,  it relies on the systems of CNA,  third party
vendors and other business partners.  CNA, on behalf of Separate Account,  has a
plan under which it reviews  periodically  the progress  that these  parties are
making on this issue.  As of December 1, 1998,  CNA had certified  internally as
Year 2000-ready all of the internal systems used by Separate  Account.  However,
as business  conditions  change,  CNA may respond by revising previous Year 2000
strategies or solutions  affecting specific systems.  In limited cases, a system
that was to have been  replaced,  instead,  may be renovated to become Year 2000
ready prior to January 1, 2000.  Separate Account does not believe these changes
will have a material impact on the Company.

     CNA has also received  statements of Year 2000  compliance from certain key
business  partners.  Separate  Account  management  believes that the systems on
which it relies  does not have any  significant  remaining  exposure to the Year
2000 issue and,  therefore Separate Account does not have a material exposure to
the Year 2000  issue.  However,  due to the  interdependent  nature of  computer
systems,  there may be an adverse  impact on  Separate  Account if its  business
partners  fail to address the Year 2000 issue  successfully.  To  mitigate  this
impact,  if any, CNA on behalf of itself and Separate  Account is  communicating
with its business partners to coordinate Year 2000 conversion.  In addition, CNA
has developed  business  resumption plans to ensure that it and Separate Account
are able to continue critical processes through other means in the event that it
becomes  necessary to do so. Formal  strategies  have been  developed to include
appropriate recovery processes and use of alternative vendors.

     Based on its  current  assessment,  CNA  estimates  that the total  cost to
replace  and upgrade its systems to  accommodate  Year 2000  processing  will be
approximately $70 million.  As of June 30, 1999, CNA has spent approximately $60
million on Year 2000 readiness matter.

               NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
                                 JUNE 30, 1999
                                  (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     Valley Forge Life Insurance  Company (VFL) is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
Continental  Assurance  Company  (CAC).  CAC  is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of
Continental  Casualty Company  (Casualty) which is wholly-owned by CNA Financial
Corporation  (CNA  Financial).  CNA Financial is a holding company whose primary
subsidiaries  consist  of   property/casualty   and  life  insurance  companies,
collectively  CNA. Loews  Corporation owns  approximately 86% of the outstanding
common stock of CNA Financial.

     VFL  markets and  underwrites  insurance  products  designed to satisfy the
life, health and retirement needs of individuals and groups.  Products available
in individual  policy form include  annuities as well as term and universal life
insurance.  Products  available  in group  policy form  include  life,  pension,
accident and health.

     The  operations,  assets and  liabilities  of VFL and its parent,  CAC, are
managed on a combined basis pursuant to a Reinsurance  Pooling Agreement.  Under
this Reinsurance Pooling Agreement, VFL cedes all of its business, excluding its
Separate Account business, to its parent, CAC. This business is then pooled with
the business of CAC, which excludes CAC's  participating  contracts and separate
account business, and 10% of the combined pool is assumed by VFL.

     The  operating   results  for  the  interim  periods  are  not  necessarily
indicative  of the results to be expected  for the full year.  These  statements
should be read in  conjunction  with the financial  statements and notes thereto
included in VFL's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

     The  accompanying  condensed  financial  statements  have been  prepared in
conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  Certain  amounts
applicable to prior years have been  reclassified to conform to  classifications
followed in 1999.

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during  the
reporting  period.  Actual  results  could differ from those  estimates.  In the
opinion  of  VFL's  management,   these  statements   include  all  adjustments,
consisting  of  normal  recurring  accruals,  which are  necessary  for the fair
presentation of the financial position,  results of operations and cash flows in
the accompanying condensed financial statements.

               NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

NOTE 2. REINSURANCE:

     The ceding of insurance  does not  discharge  the primary  liability of the
original insurer.  VFL places reinsurance with other carriers only after careful
review  of  the  nature  of  the  contract  and a  thorough  assessment  of  the
reinsurers'  credit  quality  and claim  settlement  performance.  Further,  for
carriers  that are not  authorized  reinsurers  in VFL's state of domicile,  VFL
receives collateral, primarily in the form of bank letters of credit.

     In the table  below,  the  majority  of life  premium  revenue is from long
duration  type  contracts,  while the  majority  of accident  and health  earned
premiums is from short duration contracts. The effects of reinsurance on premium
revenues are shown in the following schedule:

</TABLE>



     Transactions with CAC, as part of the pooling  agreement  described in Note
1, are reflected in the above table.  Premium  revenues ceded to  non-affiliated
companies were $187.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999, and $111.0
million  for the six months  ended June 30,  1998.  Additionally,  benefits  and
expenses for insurance claims and policyholders' benefits are net of reinsurance
recoveries from non-affiliated  companies of $139.2 million for the period ended
June 30, 1999, and $77.5 million for the same period in 1998.

     Reinsurance  receivables  reflected  on  the  balance  sheets  are  amounts
recoverable  from  reinsurers  who have  assumed  a portion  of VFL's  insurance
reserves.   These  balances  are  principally  due  from  CAC  pursuant  to  the
Reinsurance Pooling Agreement.


NOTE 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:


     VFL is party to litigation in the ordinary course of business.  The outcome
of this litigation will not, in the opinion of management, materially affect the
results of operations or equity of VFL.

including net income,  except those changes  resulting from  investments by, and
distributions  to,  the  stockholder.   Other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  is
comprehensive  income  exclusive of net income.  The change in the components of

                       VALLEY FORGE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
               NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONCLUDED


NOTE 5. CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE:


     In December 1997, the American  Institute of Certified Public  Accountants'
Accounting  Standards  Executive  Committee  issued  Statement of Position (SOP)
97-3,  "Accounting  by Insurance  and Other  Enterprises  for  Insurance-Related
Assessments."  SOP  97-3  requires  that  entities  recognize   liabilities  for
insurance-related  assessments when all of the following criteria have been met:
an  assessment  has been imposed or it is probable  that an  assessment  will be
imposed; the event obligating an entity to pay an imposed or probable assessment
has occurred on or before the date of the financial  statements;  and the amount
of the  assessment  can be  reasonably  estimated.  This  SOP is  effective  for
financial  statements  for fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15,  1998.
Accordingly,  VFL adopted SOP 97-3  effective  January 1, 1999 and an  after-tax
charge of $234,000  ($360,000  pre-tax) was recorded  during 1999 to reflect the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.


9.   The  following  replaces the  information  under  "ILLUSTRATIONS  OF POLICY
     VALUES,  SURRENDER VALUES, DEATH BENEFITS AND ACCUMULATED PREMIUM PAYMENTS"
     in its entirety:

     The following  tables have been prepared to illustrate  hypothetically  how
certain  values  under a  Policy  change  with  investment  performance  over an
extended  period of time. The tables  illustrate  how Policy  Values,  Surrender
Values and Death Benefits  under a Policy  covering an Insured of a given age on
the Policy  Effective Date, would vary over time if the Planned Periodic Premium
Payments  were paid  annually  and the return on the assets in each fund were an
assumed  uniform  gross  annual  rate of 0%,  6% and 12%.  The  values  would be
different from those shown if the returns  averaged 0%, 6% or 12% but fluctuated
over and under those averages  throughout the years shown.  The tables also show
Planned  Periodic  Premium  Payments   accumulated  at  5%  interest  compounded
annually. THE HYPOTHETICAL  INVESTMENT RATES OF RETURN ARE ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY AND
SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION  OF PAST OR FUTURE INVESTMENT RATES OF
RETURN.  Actual rates of return for a particular Policy may be more or less than
the  hypothetical  investment  rates of return  illustrated and will depend on a
number of factors  including  the  investment  allocations  made by an Owner and
prevailing rates. These illustrations assume that the Net Premiums are allocated
equally among the 23 Subaccounts available under the Policy, and that no amounts
are allocated to the Fixed Account.

     The illustrations  reflect the fact that the net investment  returns on the
assets held in the  Subaccounts  is lower than the gross after tax return of the
selected  Funds.  The tables assume an average  annual expense ratio of 0.86% of
the average daily net assets of the Funds available.  The following  information
summarizes the expenses by fund:  Alger American Growth (0.79%),  Alger American
MidCap Growth (0.84%),  Alger American Small Capitalization  (0.89%),  Federated
High Income Bond II (0.78%),  Federated  Prime Money Fund II (0.80%),  Federated
Utility  Fund  II  (0.93%),  VIP II  Asset  Manager  Portfolio  (0.64%),  VIP II
Contrafund Portfolio (0.70%), VIP Equity-Income  Portfolio (0.58%), VIP II Index
500 Portfolio (0.35%), MFS Emerging Growth Series (.85%), MFS Growth With Income
Series (0.88%),  MFS Research Series (.86%),  SoGen Overseas  Portfolio (1.50%),
Worldwide Emerging Markets (1.50%), Worldwide Hard Assets Fund (1.16%) and Janus
Aspen  Capital  Appreciation  Portfolio  (0.92%),  Janus Asepn Growth  Portfolio
(0.68%),  Janus Aspen Balanced  Portfolio  (0.74%),  Janus Aspen Flexible Income
Portfolio (0.73%), Janus Aspen International Growth Portfolio (0.86%), and Janus
Aspen Worldwide Growth Portfolio (0.72%).

     In  addition,  the  illustrations  reflect the daily charge to the Variable
Account for assuming  mortality  and expense  risk,  which is  equivalent  to an
effective  annual  charge of 0.90%  during  Policy  Years 1-10 and 0.45%  during
Policy Years 11 and later.  After  deduction of Fund  expenses and the mortality
and expense risk charge, the illustrated gross annual investment rates of return
of 0%, 6% and 12% would  correspond to  approximate  net annual rates of -1.76%,
4.24% and 10.24% , respectively during Policy Years 1-10 and - 1.31% , 4.69% and
10.69% during Policy Years 11 and later.

     The illustrations also reflect the deduction of the Sales Charges,  Premium
Tax  Charge,  Federal Tax Charge and Monthly  Deduction  for the  hypothetically
insured.  The Surrender charge is reflected in the Surrender Value column. VFL's
current cost of insurance  charges and the guaranteed  maximum cost of insurance
charges that VFL has the contractual right to charge,  are reflected in separate
illustrations on each of the following pages. All the illustrations  reflect the
fact that no  charges  for  federal or state  income  taxes are  currently  made
against   the   Variable   Account   and  assumes  no  Loan  Amount  or  partial
withdrawals/surrenders or charges for supplemental and/or rider benefits.

     The illustrations  are based on VFL's Preferred  Nonsmoker risk class. Upon
request,  Owner(s) will be furnished with a comparable illustration based on the
proposed  Insured's  individual  circumstances.  Such  illustrations  may assume
different  hypothetical  rates of return than those illustrated in the following
tables.  Because the Death  Benefit  values vary  depending on the Death Benefit
Option in effect,  level and increasing  death benefit  options are  illustrated
separately.

     The  illustrations  show  contract  values that would result based upon the
hypothetical  investment  rates of return if premiums are paid as indicated  and
all net premiums are allocated to subaccounts.

persons of the registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,
the  registrant  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the  event  that a claim  for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer or  controlling
person of the  registrant  in the  successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or
proceeding)  is  asserted by such  director,  officer or  controlling  person in
connection with the securities being registered,  the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit  to a  court  of  appropriate  jurisdiction  the  question  whether  such
indemnification  by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     The registrant has no officers,  directors or employees.  The depositor and
the  registrant do not  indemnify  the  officers,  directors of employees of the
depositor.  CNA Financial  Corporation,  ("CNAFC")  a parent  of the  depositor,
indemnifies the depositor's officers,  directors and employees in their capacity
as such.  Most of the  depositor's  officers,  directors  and employees are also
officers, directors and/or employees of CNAFC.

     CNAFC  indemnifies  any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil,  criminal,  administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of CNAFC) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of CNAFC, or was serving at the request of CNAFC as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,  partnership, joint
venture,  trust or other  enterprise,  against  expenses  (including  attorney's
fees),  judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection  with such action,  suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to
the best  interests  of CNAFC,  and,  with  respect  to any  criminal  action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

     CNAFC  indemnifies  any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the
right of CNAFC to procure a judgment  in its favor by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of CNAFC, or was serving at the
request  of  CNAFC  as  a  director,  officer,  employee  or  agent  of  another
corporation,  partnership,  joint venture,  trust or other  enterprise,  against
expenses (including  attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection  with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of CNAFC. No indemnification is made,  however, in respect of any
claim,  issue or matter as to which such person  shall have been  adjudged to be
liable for  negligence  or misconduct  in the  performance  of his duty to CNAFC
unless  and  only  to the  extent  that a court  determines  that,  despite  the
adjudication of liability but in view of all of the  circumstances  of the case,
such person is fairly and  reasonably  entitled to indemnity  for such  expenses
which the court deems proper.

     To the extent that any person referred to above is successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action,  suit or proceeding referred to above, or
in defense of any claim,  issue or matter,  therein,  CNAFC will  indemnify such
person  against  expenses  (including  attorney's  fees) actually and reasonably
incurred  by him in  connection  therewith.  CNAFC may advance to such a person,
expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as
authorized by CNAFC's board of directors  upon receipt of an  undertaking by (or
on behalf of) such person to repay the amount  advanced  unless it is ultimately
determined that he is entitled to be indemnified.

     Indemnification   and  advancement  of  expenses  described  above  (unless
pursuant to a court order) is only made as  authorized in the specific case upon
a determination  that such  indemnification or advancement of expenses is proper
in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct. Such
determination  must be made by a majority  vote of a quorum of CNAFC's  board of
directors  who  are  not  parties  to  the  action,  suit  or  proceeding  or by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion or by CNAFC's stockholders.

                          FUND PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

     THIS  AGREEMENT  is made this 16 day of June,  1999,  between  JANUS  ASPEN
SERIES,  an  open-end  management  investment company  organized  as a  Delaware
business  trust  (the  "Trust"),  and  CONTINENTAL  ASSURANCE  COMPANY,  a  life
insurance  company  organized  under  the  laws of the  State of  Illinois  (the
"Company"),  on its own behalf and on behalf of each segregated asset account of
the Company  set forth on  Schedule A, as may be amended  from time to time (the
"Accounts").

                             W I T N E S S E T H :
                             ---------------------

     WHEREAS,  the  Trust  has  registered  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission as an open-end  management  investment  company under the  Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the " 1940 Act"),  and has registered the offer
and sale of its shares under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"); and

     WHEREAS,  the Trust  desires to act as an  investment  vehicle for separate
accounts  established for variable life insurance  policies and variable annuity
contracts  to  be  offered  by  insurance   companies  that  have  entered  into
participation   agreements   with  the  Trust  (the   "Participating   Insurance
Companies"); and

     WHEREAS,  the  beneficial  interest  in the Trust is divided  into  several
series of shares,  each series  representing an interest in a particular managed
portfolio of securities and other assets (the "Portfolios"); and

     WHEREAS,  the Trust has received an order from the  Securities and Exchange
Commission  granting  Participating   Insurance  Companies  and  their  separate
accounts exemptions from the provisions of Sections 9(a), 13(a), 15(a) and 15(b)
of the 1940 Act, and Rules  6e-2(b)(15) and  6e-3(T)(b)(15)  thereunder,  to the
extent  necessary  to  permit  shares  of the  Trust  to be sold to and  held by
variable  annuity  and  variable  life  insurance   separate  accounts  of  both
affiliated  and  unaffiliated  life  insurance  companies and certain  qualified
pension and retirement plans (the "Exemptive Order"); and

     WHEREAS,  the Company has registered or will register (unless  registration
is not required under applicable law) certain  variable life insurance  policies
and/or variable annuity contracts under the 1933 Act (the "Contracts"); and

     WHEREAS, the Company has registered or will register each Account as a unit
investment trust under the 1940 Act; and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to utilize shares of one or more Portfolios as
an investment vehicle of the Accounts;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration  of their mutual  promises,  the parties
agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I
                              Sale of Trust Shares
                              --------------------

     1.1 The Trust shall make shares of its Portfolios available to the Accounts
at the net asset value next computed after receipt of such purchase order by the
Trust (or its agent),  as established  in accordance  with the provisions of the
then current  prospectus of the Trust.  Shares of a particular  Portfolio of the
Trust shall be ordered in such quantities and at such times as determined by the
Company to be necessary to meet the requirements of the Contracts.  The Trustees
of the Trust (the  "Trustees") may refuse to sell shares of any Portfolio to any
person,  or suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Portfolio if such
action is required by law or by regulatory  authorities  having  jurisdiction or
is, in the sole  discretion of the Trustees acting in good faith and in light of
their fiduciary duties under federal and any applicable state laws, necessary in
the best interests of the shareholders of such Portfolio.

     1.2 The Trust will redeem any full or  fractional  shares of any  Portfolio
when  requested  by the  Company on behalf of an Account at the net asset  value
next  computed  after  receipt  by the Trust (or its agent) of the  request  for
redemption, as established in accordance with the provisions of the then current
prospectus  of the Trust.  The Trust  shall make  payment for such shares in the
manner established from time to time by the Trust, but in no event shall payment
be delayed for a greater period than is permitted by the 1940 Act.

     1.3 For the purposes of Sections 1.1 and 1.2, the Trust hereby appoints the
Company as its agent for the limited purpose of receiving and accepting purchase
and  redemption  orders  resulting  from  investment  in and payments  under the
Contracts. Receipt by the Company shall constitute receipt by the Trust provided
that i) such orders are  received by the Company in good order prior to the time
the net  asset  value  of each  Portfolio  is  priced  in  accordance  with  its
prospectus  and ii) the Trust  receives  notice of such orders by 10:00 a.m. New
York time on the next following  Business Day. "Business Day" shall mean any day
on which the New York Stock  Exchange is open for trading and on which the Trust
calculates  its net asset  value  pursuant  to the rules of the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission.

     1.4 Purchase  orders that are  transmitted to the Trust in accordance  with
Section 1.3 shall be paid for no later than 12:00 noon New York time on the same
Business Day that the Trust receives notice of the order. Payments shall be made
in federal funds transmitted by wire.

     1.5 Issuance and transfer of the Trust's shares will be by book entry only.
Stock  certificates  will not be issued to the  Company or the  Account.  Shares
ordered  from the  Trust  will be  recorded  in the  appropriate  title for each
Account or the appropriate subaccount of each Account.

     1.6 The Trust  shall  furnish  prompt  notice to the  Company of any income
dividends  or capital  gain  distributions  payable on the Trust's  shares.  The
Company  hereby  elects to receive all such income  dividends  and capital  gain
distributions  as are payable on a Portfolio's  shares in  additional  shares of
that  Portfolio.  The Trust shall  notify the Company of the number of shares so
issued as payment of such dividends and distributions.

     1.7 The Trust shall make the net asset  value per share for each  Portfolio
available to the Company on a daily basis as soon as reasonably  practical after
the net asset value per share is  calculated  and shall use its best  efforts to
make such net asset value per share available by 6 p.m. New York time.

     1.8 The Trust  agrees  that its shares  will be sold only to  Participating
Insurance Companies and their separate accounts and to certain qualified pension
and retirement  plans to the extent  permitted by the Exemptive Order. No shares
of any Portfolio will be sold directly to the general public. The Company agrees
that Trust  shares will be used only for the  purposes of funding the  Contracts
and Accounts listed in Schedule A, as amended from time to time.

     1.9 The Trust agrees that all Participating  Insurance Companies shall have
the obligations and responsibilities regarding pass-through voting and conflicts
of interest  corresponding  to those  contained in Section 2.8 and Article IV of
this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE II
                           Obligations of the Parties
                           --------------------------

     2.1 The  Trust  shall  prepare  and be  responsible  for  filing  with  the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission  and any state  regulators  requiring  such
filing all shareholder reports,  notices,  proxy materials (or similar materials
such as voting instruction solicitation materials),  prospectuses and statements
of  additional  information  of the  Trust.  The Trust  shall  bear the costs of
registration  and  qualification  of its shares,  preparation  and filing of the
documents listed in this Section 2.1 and all taxes to which an issuer is subject
on the issuance and transfer of its shares.

     2.2 At the option of the  Company,  the Trust shall  either (a) provide the
Company (at the Company's  expense)  with as many copies of the Trust's  current
prospectus,   annual   report,   semi-annual   report   and  other   shareholder
communications, including any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing,
as the Company  shall  reasonably  request;  or (b)  provide the Company  with a
camera ready copy of such  documents in a form suitable for printing.  The Trust
shall provide the Company with a copy of its statement of additional information
in a form suitable for  duplication  by the Company.  The Trust (at its expense)
shall provide the Company with copies of any Trust-sponsored  proxy materials in
such  quantity as the Company  shall  reasonably  require  for  distribution  to
Contract owners.

     2.3 (a) The Company shall bear the costs of printing and  distributing  the
Trust's prospectus, statement of additional information, shareholder reports and
other  shareholder  communications  to owners of and applicants for policies for
which the Trust is serving or is to serve as an investment vehicle.  The Company
shall bear the costs of distributing  proxy materials (or similar materials such
as voting  solicitation  instructions) to Contract  owners.  The Company assumes
sole  responsibility  for ensuring that such materials are delivered to Contract
owners in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws.

     (b) If the Company  elects to include any materials  provided by the Trust,
specifically prospectuses, SAIs, shareholder reports and proxy materials, on its
web site or in any other computer or electronic format, the Company assumes sole
responsibility  for maintaining such materials in the form provided by the Trust
and for  promptly  replacing  such  materials  with all updates  provided by the
Trust.

     2.4 The Company agrees and  acknowledges  that the Trust's  adviser,  Janus
Capital  Corporation (" Janus Capital"),  is the sole owner of the name and mark
"Janus" and that all use of any designation  comprised in whole or part of Janus
(a "Janus  Mark")  under  this  Agreement  shall  inure to the  benefit of Janus
Capital.  Except as provided in Section 2.5, the Company shall not use any Janus
Mark  on its own  behalf  or on  behalf  of the  Accounts  or  Contracts  in any
registration  statement,  advertisement,  sales  literature  or other  materials
relating to the Accounts or Contracts without the prior written consent of Janus
Capital.  Upon  termination of this Agreement for any reason,  the Company shall
cease all use of any Janus Mark(s) as soon as reasonably practicable.

     2.5 The Company shall  furnish,  or cause to be furnished,  to the Trust or
its  designee,  a copy of each  Contract  prospectus  or statement of additional
information in which the Trust or its  investment  adviser is named prior to the
filing of such document with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company
shall  furnish,  or shall cause to be  furnished,  to the Trust or its designee,
each piece of sales literature or other promotional  material in which the Trust
or its investment  adviser is named, at least fifteen Business Days prior to its
use.  No such  material  shall be used if the Trust or its  designee  reasonably
objects to such use within fifteen Business Days after receipt of such material.

     2.6 The Company shall not give any information or make any  representations
or statements on behalf of the Trust or concerning  the Trust or its  investment
adviser in connection with the sale of the Contracts  other than  information or
representations  contained  in and  accurately  derived  from  the  registration
statement or prospectus for the Trust shares (as such registration statement and
prospectus  may be amended or  supplemented  from time to time),  reports of the
Trust,  Trust-sponsored  proxy  statements,  or in  sales  literature  or  other
promotional  material approved by the Trust or its designee,  except as required
by legal process or regulatory authorities or with the written permission of the
Trust or its designee.

     2.7 The Trust shall not give any information or make any representations or
statements on behalf of the Company or concerning  the Company,  the Accounts or
the  Contracts  other  than  information  or  representations  contained  in and
accurately  derived  from  the  registration  statement  or  prospectus  for the
Contracts  (as such  registration  statement  and  prospectus  may be amended or
supplemented  from time to time),  or in  materials  approved by the Company for
distribution including sales literature or other promotional  materials,  except
as  required  by legal  process or  regulatory  authorities  or with the written
permission of the Company.

     2.8 So  long  as,  and to the  extent  that  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission interprets the 1940 Act to require pass-through voting privileges for
variable  policyowners,  the Company will provide pass-through voting privileges
to owners of policies whose cash values are invested,  through the Accounts,  in
shares of the  Trust.  The  Trust  shall  require  all  Participating  Insurance
Companies  to  calculate  voting  privileges  in the same manner and the Company
shall be responsible for assuring that the Accounts  calculate voting privileges
in the manner  established  by the Trust.  With  respect  to each  Account,  the
Company  will  vote  shares of the Trust  held by the  Account  and for which no
timely voting  instructions  from policyowners are received as well as shares it
owns that are held by that Account,  in the same  proportion as those shares for
which voting  instructions  are received.  The Company and its agents will in no
way recommend or oppose or interfere with the  solicitation of proxies for Trust
shares held by Contract  owners without the prior written  consent of the Trust,
which consent may be withheld in the Trust's sole discretion.

     2.9 The Company shall notify the Trust of any  applicable  state  insurance
laws that restrict the Portfolios' investments or otherwise affect the operation
of the Trust and shall notify the Trust of any changes in such laws.

                                  ARTICLE III
                         Representations and Warranties
                         ------------------------------

     3.1 The Company  represents  and warrants  that it is an insurance  company
duly  organized and in good standing under the laws of the State of Illinois and
that it has legally and validly  established  each Account as a segregated asset
account under such law on the date set forth in Schedule A.

     3.2 The  Company  represents  and  warrants  that  each  Account  has  been
registered  or,  prior  to any  issuance  or  sale  of the  Contracts,  will  be
registered as a unit  investment  trust in accordance with the provisions of the
1940 Act.

     3.3 The Company  represents and warrants that the Contracts or interests in
the Accounts (1) are or, prior to issuance,  will be  registered  as  securities
under the 1933 Act or,  alternatively  (2) are not  registered  because they are
properly  exempt  from  registration  under  the  1933  Act or will  be  offered
exclusively in transactions that are properly exempt from registration under the
1933  Act.  The  Company  further  represents  and  warrants  that it will  take
reasonable  steps  to  ensure  that the  Contracts  will be  issued  and sold in
compliance in all material  respects with all applicable  federal and state laws
and the sale of the Contracts  shall comply in all material  respects with state
insurance suitability requirements.

     3.4 Each party to this Agreement represents and warrants that it has taken,
or will take,  appropriate  measures to adjust its computer  systems so that its
operations  and services  provided  under this  agreement will not be materially
affected upon January 1, 2000.  If the  operations  and services are  materially
affected by a party's  failure to implement any Year 2000 required  adjustments,
such party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other parties to this Agreement
from and against all claims, demands,  actions,  losses,  damages,  liabilities,
costs,  charges,  reasonable  counsel fees and expenses  incurred as a result of
such  failure,  in  accordance  with Section 2. No party shall be liable for any
indirect,  special or consequential  losses, even if the party has notice of the
possibility of such losses.

     3.5 The Trust represents and warrants that it is duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

     3.6 The Trust  represents  and warrants  that the Trust shares  offered and
sold pursuant to this  Agreement  will be registered  under the 1933 Act and the
Trust shall be  registered  under the 1940 Act prior to any  issuance or sale of
such shares. The Trust shall amend its registration statement under the 1933 Act
and the 1940 Act from time to time as required in order to effect the continuous
offering of its shares. The Trust shall register and qualify its shares for sale
in  accordance  with the laws of the  various  states  only if and to the extent
deemed advisable by the Trust.

     3.7  The  Trust  represents  and  warrants  that  the  investments  of each
Portfolio will comply with the diversification requirements set forth in Section
817(h) of the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended,  and the rules and
regulations thereunder.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                              Potential Conflicts
                              -------------------

     4.1 The parties  acknowledge  that the Trust's shares may be made available
for investment to other Participating  Insurance  Companies.  In such event, the
Trustees will monitor the Trust for the existence of any material irreconcilable
conflict  between the  interests  of the  contract  owners of all  Participating
Insurance Companies. An irreconcilable material conflict may arise for a variety
of  reasons,  including:  (a)  an  action  by  any  state  insurance  regulatory
authority;  (b) a change in  applicable  federal  or state  insurance,  tax,  or
securities  laws or  regulations,  or a public  ruling,  private  letter ruling,
no-action or interpretative letter, or any similar action by insurance,  tax, or
securities regulatory authorities; (c) an administrative or judicial decision in
any  relevant  proceeding;  (d) the  manner  in  which  the  investments  of any
Portfolio are being managed;  (e) a difference in voting  instructions  given by
variable annuity contract and variable life insurance  contract owners; or (f) a
decision by an insurer to disregard the voting  instructions of contract owners.
The  Trustees  shall  promptly  inform  the  Company if they  determine  that an
irreconcilable material conflict exists and the implications thereof.

     4.2 The  Company  agrees to  promptly  report  any  potential  or  existing
conflicts  of which it is aware to the  Trustees.  The  Company  will assist the
Trustees in carrying out their  responsibilities  under the  Exemptive  Order by
providing  the  Trustees  with  all  information  reasonably  necessary  for the
Trustees  to  consider  any  issues  raised  including,   but  not  limited  to,
information  as to a decision by the Company to disregard  Contract owner voting
instructions.

     4.3 If it is determined by a majority of the Trustees, or a majority of its
disinterested  Trustees,  that a material  irreconcilable  conflict  exists that
affects the interests of Contract owners, the Company shall, in cooperation with
other Participating Insurance Companies whose contract owners are also affected,
at its expense and to the extent  reasonably  practicable  (as determined by the
Trustees)  take  whatever  steps  are  necessary  to  remedy  or  eliminate  the
irreconcilable material conflict, which steps could include: (a) withdrawing the
assets  allocable to some or all of the Accounts from the Trust or any Portfolio
and reinvesting such assets in a different investment medium, including (but not
limited  to) another  Portfolio  of the Trust,  or  submitting  the  question of
whether or not such segregation  should be implemented to a vote of all affected
Contract owners and, as  appropriate,  segregating the assets of any appropriate
group (i.e.,  annuity  contract  owners,  life  insurance  contract  owners,  or
variable contract owners of one or more Participating  Insurance Companies) that
votes in favor of such segregation,  or offering to the affected Contract owners
the  option  of making  such a change;  and (b)  establishing  a new  registered
management investment company or managed separate account.

     4.4 If a material  irreconcilable  conflict arises because of a decision by
the Company to disregard  Contract owner voting  instructions  and that decision
represents a minority  position or would  preclude a majority  vote, the Company
may be required,  at the Trust's  election,  to withdraw the affected  Account's
investment  in the Trust and  terminate  this  Agreement  with  respect  to such
Account; provided, however that such withdrawal and termination shall be limited
to the extent  required by the  foregoing  material  irreconcilable  conflict as
determined by a majority of the disinterested  Trustees. Any such withdrawal and
termination  must take place within six (6) months after the Trust gives written
notice that this provision is being  implemented.  Until the end of such six (6)
month period,  the Trust shall  continue to accept and  implement  orders by the
Company for the purchase and redemption of shares of the Trust.

     4.5 If a material irreconcilable conflict arises because a particular state
insurance  regulator's  decision  applicable to the Company  conflicts  with the
majority of other state regulators,  then the Company will withdraw the affected
Account's  investment in the Trust and terminate  this Agreement with respect to
such  Account  within six (6) months  after the  Trustees  inform the Company in
writing that it has determined that such decision has created an  irreconcilable
material conflict; provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall
be limited to the  extent  required  by the  foregoing  material  irreconcilable
conflict as determined by a majority of the  disinterested  Trustees.  Until the
end of such six (6)  month  period,  the Trust  shall  continue  to  accept  and
implement orders by the Company for the purchase and redemption of shares of the
Trust.

     4.6 For purposes of Sections 4.3 through 4.6 of this Agreement,  a majority
of the  disinterested  Trustees  shall  determine  whether any  proposed  action
adequately remedies any irreconcilable  material conflict,  but in no event will
the Company be required to establish a new funding  medium for the  Contracts if
an offer to do so has been  declined by vote of a majority  of  Contract  owners
materially  adversely affected by the irreconcilable  material conflict.  In the
event that the Trustees  determine that any proposed  action does not adequately
remedy any irreconcilable  material conflict, then the Company will withdraw the
Account's  investment in the Trust and terminate this  Agreement  within six (6)
months  after the  Trustees  inform the  Company  in  writing  of the  foregoing
determination;  provided, however, that such withdrawal and termination shall be
limited to the extent required by any such material  irreconcilable  conflict as
determined by a majority of the disinterested Trustees.

     4.7 The  Company  shall at  least  annually  submit  to the  Trustees  such
reports,  materials or data as the Trustees may  reasonably  request so that the
Trustees  may fully  carry out the  duties  imposed  upon them by the  Exemptive
Order,  and said reports,  materials and data shall be submitted more frequently
if deemed appropriate by the Trustees.

     4.8 If and to the extent that Rule 6e-2 and Rule  6e-3(T) are  amended,  or
Rule 6e-3 is adopted, to provide exemptive relief from any provision of the 1940
Act or the rules promulgated  thereunder with respect to mixed or shared funding
(as defined in the Exemptive Order) on terms and conditions materially different
from  those  contained  in the  Exemptive  Order,  then  the  Trust  and/or  the
Participating Insurance Companies, as appropriate,  shall take such steps as may
be  necessary  to comply with Rules 6e-2 6e-3,  as  adopted,  to the extent such
rules are applicable.

                                Indemnification
                                ---------------

     5.1  Indemnification  By the Company.  The Company  agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Trust and each of its Trustees, officers, employees and agents
and each person, if any, who controls the Trust within the meaning of Section 15
of the 1933 Act  (collectively,  the "Indemnified  Parties" for purposes of this
Article V) against any and all losses, claims,  damages,  liabilities (including
amounts paid in settlement  with the written consent of the Company) or expenses
(including the reasonable  costs of investigating or defending any alleged loss,
claim,  damage,  liability or expense and reasonable legal counsel fees incurred
in connection  therewith)  (collectively,  "Losses"),  to which the  Indemnified
Parties may become subject under any statute or regulation,  or at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such Losses:

          (a) arise out of or are based  upon any untrue  statements  or alleged
     untrue  statements  of  any  material  fact  contained  in  a  registration
     statement or prospectus for the Contracts or in the Contracts themselves or
     in sales  literature  generated or approved by the Company on behalf of the
     Contracts  or  Accounts  (or  any  amendment  or  supplement  to any of the
     foregoing)  (collectively,  "Company  Documents"  for the  purposes of this
     Article  V), or arise out of or are based upon the  omission or the alleged
     omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated  therein or
     necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that this
     indemnity shall not apply as to any Indemnified  Party if such statement or
     omission or such alleged  statement  or omission was made in reliance  upon
     and was  accurately  derived  from  written  information  furnished  to the
     Company  by or on  behalf  of the Trust  for use in  Company  Documents  or
     otherwise  for use in  connection  with the sale of the  Contracts or Trust
     shares; or

          (b) arise out of or result from statements or  representations  (other
     than statements or representations contained in and accurately derived from
     Trust  Documents as defined in Section  5.2(a)) or wrongful  conduct of the
     Company  or  persons  under  its  control,  with  respect  to the  sale  or
     acquisition of the Contracts or Trust shares; or

          (c) arise out of or result from any untrue statement or alleged untrue
     statement of a material  fact  contained  in Trust  Documents as defined in
     Section  5.2(a) or the  omission  or alleged  omission  to state  therein a
     material  fact  required  to be stated  therein  or  necessary  to make the
     statements therein not misleading if such statement or omission was made in
     reliance upon and accurately derived from written information  furnished to
     the Trust by or on behalf of the Company; or

          (d) arise out of or result  from any failure by the Company to provide
     the  services or furnish  the  materials  required  under the terms of this
     Agreement; or

          (e)  arise  out  of  or  result  from  any  material   breach  of  any
     representation  and/or  warranty  made by the Company in this  Agreement or
     arise out of or result from any other material  breach of this Agreement by
     the Company.

     5.2  Indemnification  By the Trust.  The Trust agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company and each of its directors,  officers,  employees and agents
and each person,  if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section
15 of the 1933 Act (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties" for purposes of this
Article V) against any and all losses, claims,  damages,  liabilities (including
amounts paid in  settlement  with the written  consent of the Trust) or expenses
(including the reasonable  costs of investigating or defending any alleged loss,
claim,  damage,  liability or expense and reasonable legal counsel fees incurred
in connection  therewith)  (collectively,  "Losses"),  to which the  Indemnified
Parties may become subject under any statute or regulation,  or at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such Losses:

          (a) arise out of or are based  upon any untrue  statements  or alleged
     untrue  statements  of any  material  fact  contained  in the  registration
     statement  or  prospectus  for the Trust (or any  amendment  or  supplement
     thereto), (collectively, "Trust Documents" for the purposes of this Article
     V), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged  omission
     to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
     to make the statements therein not misleading, provided that this indemnity
     shall not apply as to any  Indemnified  Party if such statement or omission
     or such alleged  statement  or omission  was made in reliance  upon and was
     accurately derived from written information furnished to the Trust by or on
     behalf of the Company for use in Trust  Documents or  otherwise  for use in
     connection with the sale of the Contracts or Trust shares; or

          (b) arise out of or result from statements or  representations  (other
     than statements or representations contained in and accurately derived from
     Company  Documents)  or wrongful  conduct of the Trust or persons under its
     control,  with respect to the sale or acquisition of the Contracts or Trust
     shares; or

          (c) arise out of or result from any untrue statement or alleged untrue
     statement of a material fact contained in Company Documents or the omission
     or alleged  omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
     therein or necessary to make the statements  therein not misleading if such
     statement or omission was made in reliance upon and accurately derived from
     written information  furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Trust;
     or

          (d) arise out of or result  from any  failure  by the Trust to provide
     the  services or furnish  the  materials  required  under the terms of this
     Agreement; or

          (e)  arise  out  of  or  result  from  any  material   breach  of  any
     representation and/or warranty made by the Trust in this Agreement or arise
     out of or result from any other  material  breach of this  Agreement by the
     Trust.

     5.3  Neither  the  Company  nor  the  Trust  shall  be  liable   under  the
indemnification  provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2, as applicable,  with respect
to any Losses incurred or assessed against an Indemnified  Party that arise from
such  Indemnified  Party's willful  misfeasance,  bad faith or negligence in the
performance of such Indemnified  Party's duties or by reason of such Indemnified
Party's reckless disregard of obligations or duties under this Agreement.

     5.4  Neither  the  Company  nor  the  Trust  shall  be  liable   under  the
indemnification  provisions of Sections 5.1 or 5.2, as applicable,  with respect
to any claim made against an  Indemnified  Party unless such  Indemnified  Party
shall have  notified the other party in writing  within a reasonable  time after
the summons,  or other first written  notification,  giving  information  of the
nature of the claim shall have been served  upon or  otherwise  received by such
Indemnified Party (or after such Indemnified Party shall have received notice of
service upon or other  notification  to any  designated  agent),  but failure to
notify the party against whom  indemnification is sought of any such claim shall
not relieve that party from any liability  which it may have to the  Indemnified
Party in the absence of Sections 5.1 and 5.2.

     5.5 In case any such action is brought against the Indemnified Parties, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate,  at its own expense, in the
defense of such action.  The indemnifying party also shall be entitled to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably  satisfactory to the party named in
the action. After notice from the indemnifying party to the Indemnified Party of
an election to assume such defense,  the  Indemnified  Party shall bear the fees
and  expenses of any  additional  counsel  retained by it, and the  indemnifying
party will not be liable to the  Indemnified  Party under this Agreement for any
legal or other expenses  subsequently  incurred by such party  independently  in
connection   with  the  defense   thereof   other  than   reasonable   costs  of
investigation.

Agreement,  provided  that the Company  continues  to pay the costs set forth in
Section 2.3.

     6.3 The  provisions  of Article V shall  survive  the  termination  of this
Agreement,  and the  provisions  of Article IV and Section 2.8 shall survive the
termination  of this Agreement as long as shares of the Trust are held on behalf
of Contract owners in accordance with Section 6.2.

Re: Opinion of Counsel - Valley Forge Life Insurance Company Variable Life
    Separate Account
    File Nos. 333-01949 and 811-07569

Gentlemen:

This  Opinion of Counsel is  rendered  in  connection  with the filing  with the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission  pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, of Post-Effective  Amendment No. 6 to a Registration Statement filed on
Form S-6 for the variable life  insurance  policies to be issued by Valley Forge
Life  Insurance  Company and its separate  account,  Valley Forge Life Insurance
Company Variable Life Separate Account.  I have made such examination of the law
and have examined  such records and documents as, in my judgment,  are necessary
or appropriate to enable me to render the opinions expressed below.

I am of the following opinions:

1.   Valley Forge Life  Insurance  Company  Variable Life Separate  Account is a
     Unit  Investment  Trust as that  term is  defined  in  Section  4(2) of the
     Investment  Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"),  and is  currently  registered
     with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission,  pursuant to Section 8(a) of
     the Act.

2.   Upon the  acceptance  of  premiums  paid by an Owner  pursuant  to a policy
     issued in  accordance  with the  Prospectus  contained in the  Registration
     Statement and upon  compliance with applicable law, such an Owner will have
     a legally-issued,  fully-paid,  non-assessable  contractual  interest under
     such policy.

You may use  this  opinion  letter,  or a copy  thereof,  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,

                          ACTUARIAL OPINION AND CONSENT

This opinion is furnished in connection with  Post-Effective  Amendment No. 6 to
the  registration  of the Individual  Variable  Flexible  Premium Life Insurance
policy of the Valley Forge Life Insurance Company Separate Account, file numbers
333-01949 and 888-07569.

I am familiar with the terms of the Registration  Statement and the accompanying
exhibits. The prospectus included in Registration Statement describes the policy
issued by Valley Forge Life Insurance Company. In my professional opinion:

1.   The charges on the policy are  reasonable in relation to industry norms and
     in relation to the  expenses  expected to be incurred by Valley  Forge Life
     Insurance Company in connection with this policy.

2.   The illustrations of accumulated premium,  death benefits,  account values,
     and cash surrender values that appear in the prospectus are consistent with
     the provisions of the policy and are based on the assumptions stated in the
     accompanying text.

3.   The  illustrations  show  values on both a current  basis and a  guaranteed
     basis.

4.   The specific ages,  sex, rate class,  and the premium amounts used in these
     illustrations are representative of the typical purchases that Valley Forge
     Life   Insurance   Company   expects  will  purchase  the  product.   These
     characteristics  have not  been  selected  so as to make  the  relationship
     between  premiums  and  benefits  look  more  favorable  in these  specific
     instances   than  it  would  for   prospective   purchases  with  different
     characteristics.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the registration.
