                       GLENBROOK LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)



1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  accompanying  financial  statements  include the accounts of Glenbrook
     Life and Annuity  Company (the  "Company"),  a wholly owned  subsidiary  of
     Allstate Life Insurance Company ("ALIC"), which is wholly owned by Allstate
     Insurance  Company  ("AIC"),  a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of The  Allstate
     Corporation  (the  "Corporation").  These  financial  statements  have been
     prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     The financial  statements  and notes as of March 31, 1999 and for the three
     month  periods  ended  March 31, 1999 and 1998 are  unaudited.  The interim
     financial  statements  reflect all adjustments  (consisting  only of normal
     recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management,  necessary for
     the fair presentation of the financial position,  results of operations and
     cash flows for the interim  periods.  These financial  statements and notes
     should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial  statements  and notes
     thereto included in the Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company Annual Report on
     Form 10K for 1998. The results of operations for the interim periods should
     not be considered indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

     Effective  January 1, 1999,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Position
     ("SOP")  97-3,   "Accounting  by  Insurance  and  Other   Enterprises   for
     Insurance-Related  Assessments." The SOP provides guidance  concerning when
     to recognize a liability for  insurance-related  assessments  and how those
     liabilities should be measured. Specifically, insurance-related assessments
     should be recognized as liabilities when all of the following criteria have
     been met:  1) an  assessment  has been  imposed or it is  probable  that an
     assessment  will be imposed,  2) the event  obligating  an entity to pay an
     assessment  has  occurred  and  3) the  amount  of  the  assessment  can be
     reasonably estimated.  The adoption of this statement was immaterial to the
     Company's results of operations and financial position.

     To conform with the 1999 presentation,  certain amounts in the prior years'
     financial statements and notes have been reclassified.


2.    REINSURANCE

     The Company has reinsurance  agreements whereby substantially all premiums,
     contract charges,  credited interest,  policy benefits and certain expenses
     are ceded to ALIC and reflected net of such  reinsurance  in the statements
     of operations.  The amounts shown in the Company's statements of operations
     relate  to the  investment  of those  assets  of the  Company  that are not
     transferred under reinsurance  agreements.  Reinsurance recoverable and the
     related  contractholder  funds are reported separately in the statements of
     financial position.  The Company continues to have primary liability as the
     direct insurer for risks reinsured.

     Investment income earned on the assets which support  contractholder  funds
     is not included in the Company's  financial  statements as those assets are
     owned and managed under the terms of reinsurance agreements.  The following
     amounts were ceded to ALIC under reinsurance agreements.

4.     REGULATION AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

       The Company is subject to the effects of a changing social,  economic and
       regulatory environment. Public and regulatory initiatives have varied and
       have included efforts to adversely  influence and restrict premium rates,
       restrict the Company's  ability to cancel policies,  impose  underwriting
       standards  and  expand  overall  regulation.  The  ultimate  changes  and
       eventual effects, if any, of these initiatives are uncertain.

       Various other legal and  regulatory  actions are  currently  pending that
       involve the Company and specific  aspects of its conduct of business.  In
       the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, in one or more
       of these actions in excess of amounts currently  reserved is not expected
       to have a material  effect on the  results of  operations,  liquidity  or
       financial position of the Company.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                                    
      The  following  discussion  highlights   significant  factors  influencing
results of operations  and changes in financial  position of Glenbrook  Life and
Annuity  Company  (the  "Company").  It should be read in  conjunction  with the
financial statements and related notes thereto found under items 7 and 8 of Part
II of the Glenbrook Life and Annuity  Company Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998.

      The Company,  a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life Insurance Company
("ALIC"),  which is wholly owned by Allstate Insurance Company ("AIC"), a wholly
owned  subsidiary  of The  Allstate  Corporation  (the  "Corporation"),  markets
savings products and life insurance products through banks, direct marketing and
broker-dealers.  Savings products  consist of fixed annuity  products  including
indexed and market value adjusted annuities, as well as variable annuities. Life
insurance  includes  universal  life and  variable  life  products.  The Company
re-domesticated its operations from Illinois to Arizona in 1998. The Company has
identified itself as a single segment entity.

      The assets and liabilities  related to flexible premium deferred  variable
annuity  contracts  and  variable  life  policies  are  legally  segregated  and
reflected as Separate  Account  assets and  liabilities  and are carried at fair
value in the statements of financial  position.  Investment  income and realized
gains and losses of the Separate Accounts accrue directly to the contractholders
(net of fees) and,  therefore,  are not included in the Company's  statements of
operations.

       The Company has  reinsurance  agreements  under which  substantially  all
contract and policy related  transactions are transferred to ALIC. The Company's
results of operations  include only net investment  income and realized  capital
gains and losses  earned on the assets of the Company  that are not  transferred
under the reinsurance agreements.

       Net income was $1.0 million for the first three  months of 1999  compared
to $1.1  million  for the same period last year.  Pretax net  investment  income
declined slightly due to lower portfolio yields and higher investment  expenses.
Lower  investment  yields are due, in part,  to the  investment of proceeds from
calls and maturities  and the investment of positive cash flows from  operations
in securities  yielding less than the average  portfolio rate. In relatively low
interest rate environments, funds from maturing investments may be reinvested at
interest rates lower than those which  prevailed when the funds were  previously
invested, resulting in lower investment yields.

(1)  Fixed income securities are carried at fair value. Amortized cost for these
     securities was $91,508 and $87,415 at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
     respectively.

     Total  investments  were $98.2  million at March 31, 1999 compared to $99.0
million at December 31, 1998. Positive cash flows generated from operations were
more than offset by a decrease in  unrealized  net capital gains on fixed income
securities.  At March 31,  1999,  unrealized  net capital  gains on fixed income
securities were $4.8 million compared to $6.9 million at December 31, 1998.

     At March 31, 1999, all of the Company's fixed income  securities  portfolio
is rated investment grade,  which is defined by the Company as a security having
a National Association of Insurance  Commissioners  ("NAIC") rating of 1 or 2, a
Moody's rating of Aaa, Aa, A or Baa, or a comparable Company internal rating.

     During the three  months  ended March 31,  1999,  contractholder  funds and
reinsurance  recoverable  from ALIC  increased by $192.4  million.  The increase
resulted  from sales of the  Company's  fixed  annuity  contracts  and  interest
credited to  contractholders,  partially  offset by surrenders,  withdrawals and
benefits paid.  Reinsurance  recoverable  from ALIC relates to contract  benefit
obligations ceded to ALIC.

     Separate  Account assets and  liabilities  increased  $76.5 million to $1.1
billion at March 31, 1999. The increases were primarily attributable to sales of
variable annuity contracts and the favorable investment  performance of Separate
Account investment portfolios, partially offset by surrenders and withdrawals.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Under the terms of reinsurance agreements,  substantially all premiums and
deposits,  excluding  those relating to Separate  Accounts,  are  transferred to
ALIC,  which  maintains  the  investment   portfolio  supporting  the  Company's
products.  Substantially all payments of policyholder claims, benefits, contract
maturities,  contract surrenders and withdrawals and certain operating costs are
also  reimbursed  by ALIC  under the terms of the  reinsurance  agreements.  The
Company  continues  to have  primary  liability  as a direct  insurer  for risks
reinsured.  The  Company's  ability to meet  liquidity  demands is  dependant on
ALIC's ability to meet those  demands.  ALIC's  claims-paying  ability was rated
Aa2, AA+ and A+ by Moody's, Standard and Poor's and A.M. Best, respectively,  at
March 31, 1999.

      The  primary  sources  for  the  remainder  of  the  Company's  funds  are
collection of principal and interest from the  investment  portfolio and capital
contributions  from ALIC.  The primary uses for the  remainder of the  Company's
funds are to purchase  investments and pay costs associated with the maintenance
of the Company's investment portfolio.

YEAR 2000

     The Company is  dependent  upon  certain  services  provided  for it by the
Corporation including  computer-related  systems, and systems and equipment that
are not typically thought of as computer-related  (referred to as "non-IT"). For
this reason,  the Company is reliant upon the Corporation for the  establishment
and maintenance of its computer-related systems and non-IT.

     The Corporation is heavily  dependent upon complex computer systems for all
phases of its operations,  including  customer  service,  insurance  processing,
underwriting,  loss reserving,  investments and other enterprise systems.  Since
many of the Corporation's  older computer  software programs  recognize only the
last two  digits  of the year in any date,  some  software  may fail to  operate
properly  in or after  the  year  1999,  if the  software  is not  reprogrammed,
remediated, or replaced ("Year 2000"). Also, many systems and equipment that are
not typically thought of as  computer-related  (referred to as "non-IT") contain
embedded hardware or software that may have a Year 2000 sensitive component. The
Corporation  believes that many of its  counterparties  and suppliers  also have
Year 2000 issues and non-IT issues which could affect the Corporation.

     In 1995, the  Corporation  commenced a plan consisting of four phases which
are  intended to mitigate  and/or  prevent the adverse  affects of the Year 2000
issues on its  systems:  1) inventory  and  assessment  of affected  systems and
equipment,  2)  remediation  and  compliance  of systems and  equipment  through
strategies  that include the  replacement or  enhancement  of existing  systems,
upgrades to operating  systems  already  covered by  maintenance  agreements and
modifications to existing  systems to make them Year 2000 compliant,  3) testing
of systems using clock-forward testing for both current and future dates and for
dates which trigger specific processing,  and 4) contingency planning which will
address  possible  adverse  scenarios and the potential  financial impact to the
Corporation's results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

     The  Corporation  believes  that  the  first  three  steps  of  this  plan,
assessment,  remediation and testing,  including  clock-forward testing which is
being performed on the Corporation's systems and non-IT, are mostly complete for
the Corporation's  critical  systems.  The Corporation is relying on remediation
techniques  for its  midrange and personal  computer  environments,  and certain
mainframe applications.

                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                    (cont'd)


     Certain other processing systems are planned to be remediated by the middle
of 1999, and the implementation and rollout of the remediated  personal computer
environment  will continue  through the third quarter of 1999.  Some systems and
non-IT related to discontinued or non-critical  functions of the Corporation are
planned to be abandoned by the end of 1999.

     The Corporation is currently in the process of developing contingency plans
in the  event  that the  systems  supporting  key  processes  are not Year  2000
compliant in or after the year 1999. Management believes these contingency plans
should be completed by mid-1999 with testing of these plans conducted throughout
the second half of 1999.  Management  has also begun to  identify  and model the
impacts of the most reasonably  likely worst case  scenarios.  Until these plans
are  complete,  management  is  unable  to  determine  an  estimate  of the most
reasonably likely worst case scenario due to issues relating to the Year 2000.

     In addition,  the  Corporation is actively  working with its major external
counterparties  and  suppliers  to  assess  their  compliance  efforts  and  the
Corporation's  exposure to both their Year 2000 issues and non-IT  issues.  This
assessment  has  included  the  solicitation  of  external   counterparties  and
suppliers,  evaluating responses received and testing third party interfaces and
interactions  to determine  compliance.  Currently the Corporation has solicited
and  has  received  responses  from  the  majority  of  its  counterparties  and
suppliers.  These responses  generally state that they believe they will be Year
2000  compliant  and that no  transactions  will be affected.  However,  certain
vendors are also in ongoing  assessment  and testing of their  products  whereby
they are currently unable to identify all potential problems in certain products
which are used by the Corporation.  The Corporation  believes that these vendors
will make no  statements  regarding  their  Year 2000  readiness  other  than to
publish declarations addressing specific compliance issues identified with their
products.  The  Corporation  has begun to work with  these  key  vendors  and is
developing   procedures  in  order  to  stay  aware  of  any  compliance  issues
encountered by these vendors.  The  Corporation has also decided to test certain
interfaces  and  interactions  to  gain  additional  assurance  on  third  party
compliance.  If key  vendors are unable to meet the Year 2000  requirement,  the
Corporation is preparing  contingency  plans that will allow the  Corporation to
continue to sell its products and to service its customers.  Management believes
these  contingency  plans  should be  completed  by  mid-1999.  The  Corporation
currently does not have sufficient  information to determine  whether or not all
of its external counterparties and suppliers will be Year 2000 ready.

     The  Corporation may be exposed to the risk that the issuers of investments
in its portfolio will be adversely impacted by Year 2000 issues. The Corporation
assesses the impact which Year 2000 issues have on the Corporation's investments
as part of due diligence for proposed new  investments and in its ongoing review
of all current  portfolio  holdings.  Any  recommended  actions  with respect to
individual  investments  are  determined  by taking into  account the  potential
impact of Year  2000 on the  issuer.  The  Corporation  currently  does not have
sufficient  information  to  determine  the impacts of such  exposures  on their
results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

     The Corporation presently believes that it will resolve the Year 2000 issue
in a timely  manner.  Year 2000 costs are expensed as incurred,  therefore,  the
majority of the expenses  related to this project have been incurred as of March
31, 1999. The  Corporation  estimates that  approximately  $125 million in costs
will be incurred  between the years 1995 and 2000.  These amounts  include costs
directly  related to fixing Year 2000  issues,  such as  modifying  software and
hiring  Year 2000  solution  providers,  as well as costs  incurred  to  replace
certain  non-compliant  systems which would not have been otherwise replaced.  A
portion of these  costs will be  incurred  by the Company on a pro rata basis of
usage of the  computer-related  systems and non-IT,  as compared to the usage of
all entities which share these services with the Corporation.  These amounts are
not  expected  to be  material  to the  results of  operations  of the  Company.

Item 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The  Company  and  its  Board  of  Directors  know  of  no  material  legal
     proceedings  pending  to  which  the  Company  is a party  or  which  would
     materially  affect the  Company.  The  Company is  involved  in pending and

     for monetary  damages are asserted.  Management,  after  consultation  with
     legal counsel, does not anticipate the ultimate liability arising from such
     pending or threatened litigation to have a material effect on the financial
     condition of the Company.

                          TO THE REINSURANCE AGREEMENT
                             EFFECTIVE JUNE 5, 1992

                                     BETWEEN

                       GLENBROOK LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
                        (HEREINAFTER CALLED "GLENBROOK")

                                       AND

                         ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                         (HEREINAFTER CALLED "ALLSTATE")





WHEREAS,  GLENBROOK and ALLSTATE entered into a Reinsurance  Agreement effective
June 5, 1992 (hereinafter "Agreement"); and

WHEREAS,  the parties now believe that the Agreement does not accurately reflect
their existing  practices  relating to settlements  for certain tax benefits and
liabilities; and

WHEREAS,  the parties  desire to amend the  Agreement  to reflect  the  existing
practices with respect to such tax settlements;

NOW,  THEREFORE,  IT IS HEREBY AGREED, that the Agreement is amended as provided
below.


          1.)  Article III,  paragraph  2, is amended by replacing  subparagraph
               (d) with a new subparagraph (d), as follows:

                  (d)  Insurance  taxes,  licenses and fees  (excluding  Federal
                  Income  Tax that is not  related  to the  contracts  reinsured
                  under this  Agreement ), incurred by GLENBROOK with respect to
                  the contracts reinsured under this Agreement.

          2.)  Article III is further  amended by adding a new  paragraph  3, as
               follows:

                  3. No less frequently than quarterly,  ALLSTATE will calculate
                  the  amount  of  federal  and  state  income  tax  liabilities
                  incurred by GLENBROOK for the quarter related to the contracts
                  reinsured under this Agreement,  and the amount of federal and
                  state income tax benefits  earned by GLENBROOK for the quarter
                  related to the contracts  reinsured under this  Agreement.  If
                  tax liabilities  exceed tax benefits,  the difference,  plus a
                  gross-up for additional  federal and state income taxes,  will
                  be paid by ALLSTATE to GLENBROOK.  If tax benefits  exceed tax
                  liabilities,  the  difference,  plus a gross-up for additional
                  federal and state income  taxes,  will be paid by GLENBROOK to
                  ALLSTATE.


Except as amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain unchanged.

IN WITNESS HEREOF, the parties to the Agreement have caused this Amendment to be
duly  executed  in  duplicate  by their  respective  officers on the dates shown
below.

                                  REINSURANCE AGREEMENT

                                         between

                GLENBROOK LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY, NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS
                                (hereinafter "GLENBROOK")

                                           and

                  ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS
                                (hereinafter "ALLSTATE")


                                        Article I

                                  BASIS of REINSURANCE

1.   ALLSTATE  will  indemnify and GLENBROOK  will  automatically  reinsure with
     ALLSTATE,  according to the terms and conditions  hereof, the net liability
     for contracts in force (or no longer in force but with remaining liability)
     on the  Effective  Date and  contracts  directly  issued  subsequent to the
     Effective Date by GLENBROOK on the contracts listed in Schedule A.

2.   The  indemnity  reinsurance  provided  hereunder  shall  be  on a  modified
     coinsurance  basis.  GLENBROOK shall retain,  maintain,  and own all assets
     held  in  relation  to the  Reserve,  as  defined  in  Article  II of  this
     Agreement.

3.   In no event  will  reinsurance  on an  application  or a policy  under this
     Agreement be in force unless the corresponding  application is pending with
     GLENBROOK or policy issued by  GLENBROOK,  or the  reinsurance  accepted by
     GLENBROOK, as the case may be, is in force.

                                       Article II

                                  LIABILITY of ALLSTATE

1.   The liability of ALLSTATE with respect to any contract reinsured  hereunder
     will begin simultaneously with that of GLENBROOK. ALLSTATE's liability with
     respect to any  contract  reinsured  hereunder  will  terminate on the date
     GLENBROOK's  liability  on  such  contract  terminates  or  the  date  this
     Agreement is terminated, whichever is earlier. However, termination of this
     Agreement  will not terminate  ALLSTATE's  liability  for benefit  payments
     incurred prior to the date of termination.

2.   For the purpose of this  Agreement,  the term  "Reserve" will be the "Total
     Liabilities"   of   GLENBROOK's    Variable   Annuity   Separate   Accounts
     (corresponding  to  amounts  shown  on  page 3,  line  17 of 1992  Separate
     Accounts Statutory Statements).


                                       Article III

                                   MONTHLY SETTLEMENTS

1.   While this  Agreement  is in effect,  GLENBROOK  shall pay to ALLSTATE on a
     daily basis,  with respect to eligible  policies  under this  Agreement,  a
     reinsurance  premium  equal to the sum of Items (a) and (b) below  less the
     sum of Items (c) and (d) below.

     (a)  Gross  premiums   (direct  and  reinsurance   assumed)   collected  by
          GLENBROOK.

     (b)  Reserves transferred from the GLENBROOK General Account to a GLENBROOK
          Separate Account.

     (c)  Gross premiums refunded by GLENBROOK to policyholders.

     (d)  Reserves   transferred  from  a  GLENBROOK  Separate  Account  to  the
          GLENBROOK General Account.

2.   While this  Agreement  is in effect,  ALLSTATE  shall pay to GLENBROOK on a
     daily basis a benefit and expense  allowance equal to the sum of Items (a),
     (b), (c) and (d) below.

     (a)  Net  benefits  (as defined in Paragraph 3 of this Article III) paid by
          GLENBROOK  with  respect  to  the  contracts   reinsured   under  this
          Agreement.

     (b)  Commissions  and other sales  compensation  incurred by GLENBROOK with
          respect to the contracts reinsured under this Agreement.

     (c)  General  insurance  expenses incurred by GLENBROOK with respect to the
          contracts reinsured under this Agreement.

     (d)  Insurance  taxes,  licenses and fees  (excluding  Federal  Income Tax)
          incurred by GLENBROOK  with respect to the contracts  reinsured  under
          this Agreement.

3.   Net Benefits are defined as follows:

     (a)  For a contract  issued  directly by GLENBROOK and reinsured under this
          Agreement, net benefits are the actual amounts payable by GLENBROOK to
          the  contractholder,  less any amounts payable to GLENBROOK by another
          reinsurer with respect to the contract.  These payments  include death
          benefits,  endowment benefits, annuity benefits,  disability benefits,
          benefits  under A & H policies,  withdrawals,  surrender  benefits and
          payments   on   supplementary   contracts   with  and   without   life
          contingencies.

     (b)  For  contracts  reinsured  by  GLENBROOK  and  retroceded  under  this
          Agreement,  net benefits and commission and expense allowances are the
          actual amounts payable by GLENBROOK to the ceding company with respect
          to the contract reinsured by GLENBROOK.

                                   Article IV

                            DAILY RESERVE ADJUSTMENTS


     While this Agreement is in effect,  a reserve  adjustment  equal to (or the
     accounting equivalent of) the amount defined below shall be paid.

         Let:

                  RC=      The Reserve  change in GLENBROOK'S  Variable  Annuity
                           Separate   Accounts   from  the  end  of  the   prior
                           accounting   period   to  the  end  of  the   current
                           accounting   period  for  the   reinsured   contracts
                           (corresponding  to the sum of the  amounts on page 4,
                           lines  10,  11,  12  and  13  1992  Separate  Account
                           Statutory
                           Statements).

                  NII=     The net  investment  income in  GLENBROOK's  Variable
                           Annuity Separate  Accounts  (corresponding to the sum
                           of the  amounts  on page 4,  line 2 of 1992  Separate
                           Account Statutory Statements),  minus interest income
                           on  GLENBROOK'S  capital  investment  in the Separate
                           Accounts.

     If RC is greater than NII then a reserve adjustment of RC-NII is payable by
     ALLSTATE to GLENBROOK.

     If NII is greater than RC, then a reserve  adjustment  of NII-RC is payable
     by GLENBROOK to ALLSTATE.

                                    Article V

                                   OVERSIGHTS

ALLSTATE  shall be bound as GLENBROOK is bound,  and it is expressly  understood
and agreed  that if failure to  reinsure  or failure to comply with any terms of
this Agreement is shown to be unintentional  and the result of  misunderstanding
or oversight on the part of either  GLENBROOK or ALLSTATE,  both  GLENBROOK  and
ALLSTATE shall be restored to the positions they would have occupied had no such
error or oversight occurred.

                                   Article VI

                              INSPECTION OF RECORDS

GLENBROOK and ALLSTATE shall have the right, at any reasonable  time, to examine
at the  office of the  other,  any books,  documents,  reports or records  which
pertain in any way to the contracts reinsured under this Agreement.

                                   Article VII

                                   INSOLVENCY

1.   In the event of the  insolvency  of  GLENBROOK,  reinsurance  hereunder  is
     payable  by  ALLSTATE  on the  basis  of its  liability  hereunder  without
     diminution because of the insolvency of GLENBROOK.

2.   Further,  in the event of the  insolvency  of  GLENBROOK,  the  liquidator,
     receiver or  statutory  successor  of the  insolvent  GLENBROOK  shall give
     written  notice  to  ALLSTATE  of the  pendency  of any  obligation  of the
     insolvent  GLENBROOK  on  any  policy  reinsured,  whereupon  ALLSTATE  may
     investigate such claim and interpose at its own expense,  in the proceeding
     where such claim is to be adjudicated, any defense or defenses which it may
     deem available to GLENBROOK or its liquidator or statutory  successor.  The
     expense thus  incurred by ALLSTATE  shall be  chargeable,  subject to court
     approval,  against  the  insolvent  GLENBROOK  as part of the  expenses  of
     liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may
     accrue  to  GLENBROOK  solely  as a result  of the  defense  undertaken  by
     ALLSTATE.

3.   All moneys due GLENBROOK or ALLSTATE under this  Agreement  shall be offset
     against each other,  dollar for dollar,  regardless  of any  insolvency  of
     either party.

                                   Article VII

                                   ARBITRATION

Any  dispute  arising  with  respect to this  Agreement  which is not settled by
mutual agreement of the parties shall be referred to arbitration.  Within twenty
(20) days from receipt of written  notice from one party that an arbitrator  has
been  appointed,  the  other  party  shall  also  name  an  arbitrator.  The two
arbitrators  shall  choose a third  arbitrator  and shall  forthwith  notify the
contracting parties of such choice. Each arbitrator shall be a present or former
officer  of a life  insurance  company  and  should  have  no  present  or  past
affiliation  with this  Agreement or with either party.  The  arbitrators  shall
consider this Agreement as an honorable engagement rather than merely as a legal
obligation,  and shall be relieved of all judicial formalities.  The decision of
the arbitrators  shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto.  Each party
shall bear the expenses of its own arbitrator and shall jointly and equally bear
the  expenses  of  the  third  arbitrator  and  of  the  arbitration.  Any  such
arbitration shall take place at the Home Office of GLENBROOK,  unless some other
location is mutually agreed upon.

                                   Article IX

                              PARTIES TO AGREEMENT

This  Agreement is solely  between  GLENBROOK  and ALLSTATE.  The  acceptance of
reinsurance  hereunder  shall not  create any right or legal  relation  whatever
between  ALLSTATE  and any party in interest  under any  contract  of  GLENBROOK
reinsured hereunder. GLENBROOK shall be and remain solely liable to any insured,
contract owner, or beneficiary under any contract reinsured hereunder.

                                    Article X

                              DURATION OF AGREEMENT

This  Agreement will be effective as of September 1, 1993, and will be unlimited
as to its duration;  provided, however, it may be terminated with respect to the
reinsurance  of new  business by either  party giving the other party sixty (60)
days prior written notice of termination.

                                   Article XI

                                ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement  constitutes the entire contract  between ALLSTATE and GLENBROOK.
No variation,  modification or changes to this Agreement shall be binding unless
in writing and signed by an officer of each party.

WHEREAS, the California Insurance Department has determined that various changes
to the Agreement are required under California insurance law; and

WHEREAS,  GLENBROOK and ALLSTATE  desire to amend the Agreement  with respect to
coverage issued to California residents to meet the California requirements;

NOW,  THEREFORE,  the  Agreement is hereby  amended  with respect to  California
residents, as follows:

1.) Article VII,  "Insolvency",  hereby  amended by deleting said Article in its
entirety, and replacing it with the following new Article VII:

                                   Article VII

                                   INSOLVENCY

1. The portion of any risk or obligation assumed by Allstate,  when such portion
is  ascertained,  shall be  payable on demand of  Glenbrook  at the same time as
Glenbrook shall pay its net retained portion of such risk or obligation, and the
reinsurance  shall be  payable  by  Allstate  on the basis of the  liability  of
Glenbrook under the contract or contracts reinsured under this Agreement without
diminution  because of the  insolvency of Glenbrook.  In the event of insolvency
and the  appointment  of a  conservator,  liquidator  or statutory  successor of
Glenbrook,  such portion  shall be payable to such  conservator,  liquidator  or
statutory  successor  immediately  upon demand,  on the basis of claims  allowed
against Glenbrook by any court of competent jurisdiction or, by any conservator,
liquidator,  or statutory  successor of Glenbrook having authority to allow such
claims,   without   diminution  because  of  such  insolvency  or  because  such
conservator,  liquidator  or  statutory  successor  has  failed  to pay all or a
portion of any  claims.  Payment by  Allstate  as above set forth  shall be made
directly to Glenbrook or its conservator, liquidator or statutory successor.

2.  Further,  in the  event of the  insolvency  of  Glenbrook,  the  liquidator,
receiver or statutory  successor of the insolvent  Glenbrook  shall give written
notice to Allstate of the pendency of an obligation  of the insolvent  Glenbrook
on any policy  reinsured,  whereupon  Allstate  may  investigate  such claim and
interpose  at its own  expense,  in the  proceeding  where  such  claim is to be
adjudicated, any defense or defenses which it may deem available to Glenbrook or
its  liquidator  or statutory  successor.  The expense thus incurred by Allstate
shall be chargeable,  subject to court approval, against the insolvent Glenbrook
as part of the expenses of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of
the  benefit  which may accrue to  Glenbrook  solely as a result of the  defense
undertaken by Allstate.


2.)  Article  VIII,  Arbitration,  shall be  amended to  include  the  following
language at the end of that article:

         The decision of the Arbitrators  shall be handed down within 45 days of
         the date on which the arbitration is concluded.

3.) Article X, Duration of the  Agreement,  shall be deleted in its entirety and
shall be replaced with the following language:

         This Agreement  shall be effective as of September 1, 1993, and will be
unlimited as to its  duration;  provided,  however,  it may be  terminated  with
respect to the  reinsurance  of new  business by either  party  giving the other
party ninety (90) days prior written notice of termination to the other party.


4.) In addition, a new Article XII is added to the Agreement, as follows:

                                   Article XII

                                     OFFSET

All monies due  Glenbrook  or  Allstate  under  this  Agreement  shall be offset
against each other dollar for dollar.

5.) Finally,  the  definition  of "RC"  contained  in Article IV, Daily  Reserve
Adjustments, shall be deleted and replaced with the following language:
         RC = The  Reserve  change  in  GLENBROOK'S  Variable  Annuity  Separate
Accounts from the end of the prior  accounting  period to the end of the current
accounting period for the reinsured  contracts  (corresponding to the sum of the
amounts in page 4, lines 10, 11, 12 and 13 of 1992  Separate  Account  Statutory
Statements). An account period shall be defined as one day.

This amendment shall be effective  __________,  1995.  Except as amended hereby,
the Agreement shall remain unchanged.

IN WITNESS HEREOF, the parties to the Agreement have caused this Amendment to be
duly  executed  in  duplicate  by their  respective  officers on the dates shown
below.

                          TO THE REINSURANCE AGREEMENT
                           EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1, 1993

                                     BETWEEN

                       GLENBROOK LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY

                                       AND

                         ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
                         (HEREINAFTER CALLED "ALLSTATE")



WHEREAS,  GLENBROOK and ALLSTATE entered into a Reinsurance  Agreement effective
September 1, 1993 (hereinafter "Agreement"); and

WHEREAS,  the parties now believe that the Agreement does not accurately reflect
their existing  practices  relating to settlements  for certain tax benefits and
liabilities; and

WHEREAS,  the parties  desire to amend the  Agreement  to reflect  the  existing
practices with respect to such tax settlements;

NOW,  THEREFORE,  IT IS HEREBY AGREED, that the Agreement is amended as provided
below.


          1.)  Article III,  paragraph  2, is amended by replacing  subparagraph
               (d) with a new subparagraph (d), as follows:

                  (d)  Insurance  taxes,  licenses and fees  (excluding  Federal
                  Income  Tax that is not  related  to the  contracts  reinsured
                  under this  Agreement ), incurred by GLENBROOK with respect to
                  the contracts reinsured under this Agreement.

          2.)  Article III is further  amended by adding a new  paragraph  5, as
               follows:

                  5. No less frequently than quarterly,  ALLSTATE will calculate
                  the  amount  of  federal  and  state  income  tax  liabilities
                  incurred by GLENBROOK for the quarter related to the contracts
                  reinsured under this Agreement,  and the amount of federal and
                  state income tax benefits  earned by GLENBROOK for the quarter
                  related to the contracts  reinsured under this  Agreement.  If
                  tax liabilities  exceed tax benefits,  the difference,  plus a
                  gross-up for additional  federal and state income taxes,  will
                  be paid by ALLSTATE to GLENBROOK.  If tax benefits  exceed tax
                  liabilities,  the  difference,  plus a gross-up for additional
                  federal and state income  taxes,  will be paid by GLENBROOK to
                  ALLSTATE.


Except as amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain unchanged.
