These efforts include performing those services necessary (as determined by the
Primary Contacts) to be able to support the provision of any Basic Services as
well as any services necessary to segregate Customer's operations from
Supplier's to enable Customer to operate independently ("Initial Implementation
Services"). Supplier will work in good faith with Customer to complete the
Initial Implementation Services as soon as practicable after the date of this
Agreement.

               The parties agree that legal services performed by Supplier to
effect the legal transfer of Great Texas County Mutual Insurance Company, Great
American Contemporary Insurance Company, El Aguila Compania de Seguros, S.A. de
C.V., Insurance (GB) Limited and Leader National Agency of Texas, Inc. through a

subject to charge under this Agreement.

               The Parties' Primary Contacts shall communicate regularly
regarding the time and effort expended in providing Initial Implementation
Services, with the understanding that such services are to be transitory in
nature. Any request or series of requests for Initial Implementation Services

the Primary Contacts and shall be subject to charge as either a Basic Service at
rates set forth in the applicable Schedule 2.1 or as a Supplemental Service at
rates determined in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.1.

               2.2.2 Supplier and Customer will also cooperate in developing a
series of practices and procedures to be performed in connection with the
termination of this Agreement (whether as a result of the expiration of the Term
of this Agreement or an earlier termination as provided for in Section 9 of this
Agreement), which procedures (the "Transition Procedures") shall be designed to
satisfy Customer's reasonable requirements for transition of Services at
termination in such a manner that the performance of Services and the Business
are not adversely disrupted. All written Transition Procedures agreed to in
writing by the parties hereto shall be deemed to be amendments to this
Agreement, to be considered a part hereof as if fully incorporated herein.

               2.2.3 The "Transition Services" shall include (a) the Employees
of Supplier in (i) the development, review, and maintenance of Transition
Procedures and (ii) the performance and execution of the Transition Procedures
as contemplated by Section 2.3 of this Agreement and (b) all computer
processing, communication, financial, regulatory compliance and other services
provided in connection therewith which are not otherwise part of the Basic
Services, but shall exclude any programming of software (unless otherwise
agreed) performed with respect to Transition Services in connection with the
termination of this Agreement.

               2.2.4 The Transition Procedures shall expressly include (a)
detailed plans for the orderly removal and transfer between the parties of
assets which are the respective property of the other or to which the other has
no further right of use upon any termination, (b) plans for the orderly
transition of the Reinsured Business to Customer's paper, (c) an opportunity for
Customer to run, during the Term, the new information system to be utilized by
it after the Termination Date on a parallel basis with the system provided
herein, to ensure an orderly


                                       5
<PAGE>

transition, provided, however, Customer shall run the new information system on
its system without any material disruption to or interference with Supplier's
system and (d) access to the then existing Documentation and reasonable access
in Supplier's sole discretion to personnel engaged in the operation of
Supplier's information systems relating to the Services to support the
transition to Customer's systems.

               2.2.5 Except with respect to any Initial Implementation Services
described in Section 2.2.1, all costs and expenses of performing Transition
Services under this Section 2.2, specifically including software programming in
conjunction with proper formatting and transfer of data under Section 2.6.3,
shall be billed on a time and materials basis in accordance with Section 6.1.

         2.3 Single Point of Contact. Supplier hereby designates Robert E. Maly
and Customer hereby designates Roger Smith to be the Primary Contact (the
"Primary Contact") that the other party shall contact regarding any matter
relating to this Agreement. The Primary Contacts will endeavor to meet at least
quarterly to review contract issues, including the proper allocation of Pass
Through Charges (as described in the definition thereof) and the scope of Basic
Services provided under Section 2.1, and will specifically address any possible
elimination of Services under Section 9.2. In the event that the Primary Contact
designated by Customer or Supplier is unresponsive or otherwise unsatisfactory
to the other party in its reasonable judgment, Customer and Supplier agree to
replace the applicable designated Primary Contact upon receipt of a written
request setting forth the reasons for removal and signed by an officer of the
party requesting removal. Neither Customer nor Supplier shall request removal of
a Primary Contact for any reason that would give rise to any violation of law.

         2.4 Additional Operating Requirements. Provided that Supplier is able
to provide the Services to Customer at the quality levels set forth in Section
2.9, Supplier shall have the right from time to time, acting in good faith and
with reasonable discretion in accordance with its own internal policies and
procedures then in effect, and without the prior approval or consent of
Customer, to determine which Equipment (or other resources used to provide the
Services) shall be used to perform the Services.

         2.5 Third Parties. Supplier may use qualified independent contractors,
consultants and independent third parties (such independent contractors or other
independent third parties collectively referred to as "Independent Contractors")
to perform any of the Services. The applicable schedule will state if any such
charges for Basic Services may qualify as Pass Through Charges. To the extent
practicable, Supplier shall advise Customer of any other third party fees to be
considered Pass Through Charges in connection with any Basic Services or
Transition Services prior to contracting for such services and shall attempt to
secure Customer's approval thereof. Customer agrees to be responsible for
contractual commitments made by it or its Affiliates under any Enterprise
Contracts. Specifically with respect to the VESTA Contract (as identified on
Schedule 9.2/9.3), an existing Enterprise Contract for telecommunications
services and equipment benefiting Supplier and Customer, Customer acknowledges
its responsibilities and agrees to sign a "Specially Designated Affiliate User"
joinder agreement (substantially in the form contemplated by the VESTA Contract)
that will include provisions ensuring Customer's direct assumption of financial
responsibility for its proportionate share of


                                       6
<PAGE>

charges and minimum annual commitments for all service categories contemplated
by the VESTA Contract at the time of its execution.

control of Customer, including without limitation Customer Equipment and
Customer Software) required for the performance of the Services in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and specifically at the standard of care set
forth in Section 2.9, reasonable wear and tear excepted and (ii) Customer shall
maintain in Customer's offices (or any successor location) during the Term, at
no expense to the Supplier, all Customer Equipment and Customer Software
required in order to permit the Supplier to provide Services to Customer under
this Agreement. Customer Equipment and Customer Software shall be upgraded
consistent with reasonable business practices and Supplier's practices for
Services provided. Any Data migration or any implementation, maintenance or
Enhancements of Customer Equipment or Customer Software provided by Supplier
will be at an additional cost to be negotiated by Customer and Supplier at the
time of delivery.

            2.6.2 Customer shall provide to Supplier's Employees and Independent
Contractors such access to Customer's facilities, Customer Equipment, Software
and personnel as may be reasonably necessary to permit Supplier to perform the
Services in a manner consistent with the requirements established by this
Agreement.

            2.6.3 In conjunction with this Agreement and the Reinsurance
Agreement, Customer shall furnish to Supplier all instructions, data and
information in its possession, and take such other steps as may be reasonably
determined by Supplier, including the general performance requirements described
in Schedule 2.6.3, to be necessary (i) for Supplier to furnish the Services,
(ii) for Supplier to comply with all applicable regulatory and statutory
requirements or (iii) to maintain legal and regulatory compliance with respect
to the Reinsured Business. Customer and Supplier shall agree upon the format of
any information to be submitted to Supplier, and Customer shall maintain and
promptly provide in an accurate format all such information and shall promptly
correct, at Customer's sole cost, any errors identified by Supplier. Supplier
may rely upon any instructions or information provided by Customer and shall
incur no liability as a result of either incorrect data or its reasonable
reliance on such instructions, information or data. This provision shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.

         2.7 Compliance with Law. Supplier and Customer shall use reasonable
care to ensure material compliance with all applicable Laws in connection with
their respective obligations hereunder.

         2.8 Non-disruption of Services. Other than for disruptions scheduled
pursuant to Section 3 or excused pursuant to Section 12.6, Supplier shall
provide and perform the Services throughout the Term.


                                       7
<PAGE>

         2.9 Standard of Care. Supplier covenants to provide the Services at
standards and with a level of performance and scope in all events consistent
with the quality and level of performance and scope it would use in providing
similar services to itself or its Affiliates and consistent with the service
levels and workflow processes provided to the Business during the immediately
preceding calendar year.

       Section 3. Scheduled Interruptions. If, in addition to regularly
scheduled outage time for maintenance and backup, Supplier determines during the
Term to modify, repair or replace any Equipment or Software or other resources
used to perform the Services in such a manner as to require one or more
scheduled interruptions of Supplier's ability to perform the Services, Supplier
shall give reasonable advance written notice to Customer and cooperate in good

            4.1.2 In the event that Supplier obtains any licenses or pays any
fees, expenses or costs on behalf of Customer with respect to the continued use
of Software in the performance of the Services, Supplier shall prepare an
invoice and other supporting Documentation with respect to such amounts and

            4.2.1 Use of Customer Equipment and Customer Software. Supplier

from using Customer Software for which they independently acquire or previously
possess the necessary rights. Supplier shall not be responsible to Customer for
any Damages and Claims resulting from the installation or implementation of any
Customer Equipment and/or Customer Software unless caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Supplier, its employees, agents or
contractors.

Pass-Through Charges. The monthly invoice shall provide a detail of the
Pass-Through Charges as well as the items listed on each Schedule 2.1. At each
anniversary of this Agreement, Supplier shall apply a cost of living adjustment

included within the monthly invoice as described in Section 6.1. Transition
Services shall be provided at rates based on Supplier's costs then in effect at

invoice Customer on a monthly basis an amount equal to the sum of (a) the Basic
Costs for the preceding month and (b) Pass Through Charges for the preceding

charges for the preceding three months. All undisputed


                                       9
<PAGE>

amounts so invoiced will be due and payable 20 days after receipt of invoice.
Any disputed amounts shall be paid upon resolution in accordance with Section
6.8.

            6.4 Late Payment Penalty. Subject to Section 6.8, if Customer fails
to pay any invoice or other amount owed hereunder when due, Supplier may add an
interest charge of 1% per month, or the maximum rate allowed by law if less, on
the outstanding balance until paid in full.

            6.5 Taxes. Customer shall pay all taxes that are applicable to or
are measured directly by payments made under this Agreement, including without
limit, sales, use, excise or value-added taxes; provided, however, that Supplier
shall report and pay income taxes, if any, arising out of the payments made by
Customer to Supplier under this Agreement. Supplier shall also pay all payroll
taxes of its Employees providing Services under this Agreement.

            6.6 Audit Rights. With five business days prior written notice from
Customer, during reasonable business hours, Supplier shall make available its
financial books and records pertaining to the Services in an organized manner to
Customer to permit an efficient audit of the Pass-Through Charges; provided,
that Customer shall only have one opportunity to audit any specific period of
time and shall not be permitted to re-examine any prior audit materials unless
any dispute involving such prior audit materials remains unresolved. Any audit
shall be limited to a two week period of time, provided, however, that should
Supplier fail to comply with Customer's reasonable requests in connection with
such audit or otherwise fail to assist Customer in conducting such audit, the
period of time for the audit shall be extended for as long as Customer, in good
faith and in its reasonable discretion, determines is required to complete the
audit. Customer shall only request an audit in good faith and with a reasonable

audit under this Agreement more often than once every six months. All
information provided in connection with an audit shall be treated as
Confidential Information. If Supplier agrees with the results of the audit,
Supplier shall pay to Customer the amounts of any discrepancies discovered in an
audit conducted pursuant to this Section within two weeks of the conclusion of
such audit. If Supplier does not agree with the result of the audit, Supplier
shall, if required, pay the amounts of any discrepancies upon final resolution

bear the costs of the audit, unless the audit shall discover a discrepancy to
Customer's detriment greater than 5% in the amount of Pass-Through Charges
claimed by Supplier under this Agreement versus the actual amount for any
12-month period, in which case Supplier shall bear 75% of the cost of the audit
subject to a maximum amount of $10,000.

            6.7 Offsets. No party shall have any right to offset amounts due
under this Agreement against any sums owed to it by the other or their
respective Affiliates, without the express prior written consent of the party
against whom such right of offset is to be exercised.

Agreement that cannot be resolved by the parties shall be resolved following the
guidelines set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement. In addition, notice of any
disputed invoiced amounts shall be communicated orally by Customer to Supplier
within 20 days of receipt of invoice (except for the results of audits conducted
pursuant to Section 6.6), with the written submission required by


                                       10
<PAGE>

Section 11 of this Agreement required within 30 days of receipt of invoice.
Payments owed by either party and resolved prior to formal arbitration
proceedings shall be paid within 15 days of resolution. Payments owed by either

of this Agreement, shall be paid on the basis determined by the formal
proceeding.

    Section 7. Ownership of Property and Data.

       7.1 Copyright.

            7.1.1 Exclusive Results. Supplier expressly acknowledges that all
rights of any kind and character whatsoever in and to all Data and all of the
products resulting from the Services performed for Customer during the Term of
and pursuant to this Agreement, which pertain exclusively to the Business (the
"Exclusive Results"), including, without limitation, all compilations of such
Data created by Supplier as well as such Data previously owned by Supplier
shall, from the inception of creation, be owned by Customer for use in any
manner or media, whether now known or hereinafter discovered, throughout the
world in perpetuity. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, for
copyright purposes, the Exclusive Results were, are and shall be deemed "a work
made for hire" under the Copyright Act of 1976, as amended, 17 U.S.C. 101 et.
seq. (the "Copyright Act"). The Exclusive Results and any other works derived
from and/or embodying the Exclusive Results which pertains exclusively to the
Business shall be the sole and exclusive property of Customer, which shall have
all rights of ownership therein and incident thereto. To the extent that the
arbitration panel described in Section 11 of this Agreement (or, if required, a
court of competent jurisdiction) subsequently determines that the Exclusive
Results are not properly characterized as "works for hire" under the Copyright
Act, Supplier hereby irrevocably and absolutely assigns, conveys and grants to
Customer all right, title and interest in and to the Exclusive Results
(including but not limited to all copyrights and any renewals thereof), and any
ideas and information embodied therein, in perpetuity throughout the world.
Regardless of whether the Exclusive Results are deemed to be "a work for hire"
or not, Customer hereby grants to Supplier a non-exclusive, nontransferable,
worldwide, perpetual license to use and/or modify the Exclusive Results. The
terms of this paragraph shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.

            7.1.2 Non-Exclusive Results. Customer expressly acknowledges that
all rights of any kind and character whatsoever in and to all Data and all of
the products resulting from the Services performed for Customer during the Term
of and pursuant to this Agreement, which pertain to the business of Supplier and
its Affiliates, as well as the Business (the "Non-Exclusive Results"),
including, without limitation, all compilations of Data created by Supplier,
Data previously owned by Supplier, as well as any other works derived therefrom
or any work embodying the Non-Exclusive Results (and any works that are derived
from or embodying the Exclusive Results, but which do not pertain exclusively to
the Business) shall be the sole and exclusive property of Supplier. Customer
acknowledges and agrees that it shall not claim or attempt to claim, any
ownership or other intellectual property rights in any of the Non-Exclusive
Results except as provided under this Section 7.1.2. Supplier hereby grants to
Customer and its successors pursuant to Section 12.7 hereof a non-exclusive,
nontransferable, worldwide, perpetual license to use and/or modify the
Non-Exclusive Results, excluding, however, the Non-


                                       11
<PAGE>

Exclusive Results listed on Schedule 7.1.2. The terms of this paragraph shall
survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

        7.2 Other Interests. Subject to Section 7.1 hereof, Customer
acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement shall vest in Customer,
nor shall Customer claim or attempt to claim, any ownership or other
intellectual property rights in any Data of Supplier or in any of Supplier's
Software and Equipment (other than rights of use contemplated by Sections 4 and
7.1 of this Agreement and Customer Equipment). Subject to Section 7.1 hereof,
Supplier acknowledges that nothing contained in this Agreement shall vest in
Supplier, nor shall Supplier claim or attempt to claim, any ownership or other
intellectual property rights in any Customer Equipment or Customer Software, if
any (other than rights of use contemplated by Sections 4 and 7.1 of this
Agreement).

        7.3 License Agreement. Simultaneously with the execution of
this Agreement, Supplier and Customer shall enter into a License Agreement
granting to Customer the right to use certain intangible and intellectual
property assets of Supplier, including (a) a non-exclusive, royalty free,
limited license to use the name "Great American" in connection with (i) the
Reinsured Business during the term of the Reinsurance Agreement and (ii)
servicing the Direct Business of Supplier as described in a separate services
agreement, provided that Customer shall not misappropriate, misrepresent or
otherwise infringe, abuse or diminish the value of the name Great American, and
(b) a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty free license to the "Driver Club"
product and associated intellectual property rights.

    Section 8. Confidentiality.

        8.1 Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Confidential
Information" means the following items, whether currently existing or created in
the future:

            8.1.1 all knowledge or information concerning the Business or
concerning the proprietary information of the Supplier or Customer, or their
respective Affiliates, which is not already available to the public, such as
internal operating procedures; investment strategy; sales data and customer
lists; financial plans, projections and reports; insurance programs, plans and
products; Exclusive Results and Non-Exclusive Results.

            8.1.2 all knowledge or information concerning assets owned, leased,
licensed and/or developed by or for the Supplier or Customer, or their
respective Affiliates, and not available to the public, such as computer
systems, programs, Software and devices, plus information about the design,
methodology and Documentation relating to such assets;

            8.1.3 information about or personal to insureds, clients, agents,
Employees or applicants (for employment, products or services) of the Supplier
or Customer or their respective Affiliates or otherwise relating to the
Business;

            8.1.4 information, materials, products or any other tangible or
intangible assets in the possession or under the control of the Supplier or
Customer, or their respective Affiliates, which is proprietary to, or
confidential to or about any other Person; and

            8.1.5 records and repositories of the foregoing, however maintained.



                                       12
<PAGE>

The foregoing notwithstanding, "Confidential Information" shall not be
considered to include information which (i) was publicly known and made
generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure by the
disclosing party; (ii) becomes publicly known and made generally available after
disclosure by the disclosing party to the receiving party through no action or
inaction of the receiving party; (iii) is already in the possession of the
receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party as shown by
the receiving party's files and records immediately prior to the time of
disclosure; (iv) is obtained by the receiving party from a third party without a
breach of such third party's obligations of confidentiality; (v) is
independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to
the disclosing party's Confidential Information, as shown by documents and other
competent evidence in the receiving party's possession; (vi) is required to be
disclosed by the receiving party to a regulatory authority or (vii) is otherwise
required by law to be disclosed by the receiving party, provided that the
receiving party gives the disclosing party prompt written notice of such
requirement prior to such disclosure and assistance in obtaining an order
protecting the information from public disclosure. The failure to mark any
material or information "confidential" shall not affect the confidential nature
thereof.

            8.2 Obligations of Customer. Customer shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates to, hold all Confidential Information pertaining or belonging to
Supplier or its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, information relating
to third party owned software, in the strictest confidence at all times, making
no use thereof other than in connection with this Agreement or the negotiations
between the parties to this Agreement. Furthermore, Customer shall not, without
the prior approval of an appropriate officer of Supplier, release any such
Confidential Information to any Person not directly involved in the activities
contemplated under this Agreement. However, any such Confidential Information
may be disclosed to Persons employed or retained by Customer who are directly
involved in the activities contemplated hereby, it being understood that, in any
event, Customer shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 8 by any
such Person. Upon reasonable request by Supplier, Customer shall execute a
confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement in favor of any third party software
vendor and shall cause any Person employed or retained by it to sign a form of
confidentiality agreement previously approved by Supplier.

            8.3 Obligations of Supplier. Supplier shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates to, hold all Confidential Information pertaining or belonging to
Customer, or any of its Affiliates, in the strictest confidence at all times,
making no use thereof other than in connection with this Agreement or the
negotiations between the parties to this Agreement. Furthermore, without the
prior approval of an appropriate officer of Customer, Supplier shall not, and
shall not permit its Affiliates to, release any Confidential Information
pertaining or belonging to Customer, or any of its respective Affiliates, to any
Person not directly involved in the activities contemplated under this
Agreement. However, any such Confidential Information may be disclosed to
Persons employed or retained by Supplier who are directly involved in the
activities contemplated hereby, it being understood that, in any event, Supplier
shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 8 by any such Person.

            8.4 Relief. Each party agrees that if the arbitration panel
described in Section 11 herein determines that the receiving party has breached,
or attempted or threatened to breach, any of its confidentiality obligations to
the disclosing party or the disclosing party's proprietary


                                       13
<PAGE>

rights, the disclosing party will be entitled to obtain appropriate injunctive
relief and other measures restraining further, attempted or threatened breaches
of such obligations.

    Section 9. Term and Termination.

        9.1 Term. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the date of this
Agreement and shall continue for a three-year period ending on the third
anniversary of this Agreement.

        9.2 Mutual Termination of Services. The parties contemplate that many
of the Services will be gradually eliminated throughout the Term and agree to
the following procedures for eliminating a specific Service from the scope of
this Agreement:

            9.2.1 At any time, either of the parties' Primary Contacts may
notify the other (which notice must be in writing) that a particular Service
listed on an applicable Schedule 2.1 is no longer needed to be provided and can
be eliminated (including the associated Basic Costs, if inapplicable to any
remaining Services), effective as of the first day of the ensuing month or a
different period if mutually agreed to by the parties. If the Primary Contacts
agree that a particular Service or particular Services (and the associated Basic
Costs) can be eliminated, then they will promptly execute a service elimination
form, in the form attached hereto as Appendix II (each, an "Elimination Form").
Each party represents and warrants that their respective Primary Contacts shall
have the authority to execute an Elimination Form or the Final Elimination Form
(as defined below), and such document shall be binding on the party; provided,
however, that no termination affecting any Enterprise Contract specifically set
forth on Schedule 9.2/9.3 shall be effective until the end of such contract's
then-current term, unless otherwise agreed by Supplier. Upon execution, all
Elimination Forms will amend the remaining Services (and associated Basic Costs)
obligations of the parties as described herein.

            9.2.2 Except as expressly provided in an Elimination Form, such form
is not intended to modify, eliminate or alter any other Services (or associated
Basic Costs) obligation of the parties and in no event shall it modify,
eliminate or alter any other obligations, or any representations or warranties
of the parties.

            9.2.3 The parties anticipate that the parties will gradually
diminish the Services obligations. If all remaining Services are eliminated,
then that Elimination Form will be deemed to be the final one, must indicate the
same, and will terminate the Services obligations (and all associated Basic
Costs obligations) pursuant to this Agreement, effective at the end of the Term
or a shorter period, if mutually agreed to by the parties (the "Final
Elimination Form").

        9.3 Termination by Customer. Except as provided below in this Section,
in addition to its rights under Section 9.2, Customer shall have the right at
any time, upon 180 days written notice to Supplier, to terminate the obligation
of Supplier to perform any or all of the Services; provided, however, that no
termination affecting any Enterprise Contract specifically set forth on Schedule
9.2/9.3 shall be effective until the end of such contract's then-current term,
unless otherwise agreed by Supplier. Upon receiving any such notice, Supplier
shall, subject to the foregoing proviso, (a) terminate performance in accordance
with the terms specified in such notice and (b) cooperate with Customer in
accordance with any Transition Procedures related to


                                       14
<PAGE>

the Services being terminated to assure that performance of such Services may be
continued by Customer (or its designee) without adverse disruption to the
Business. Any such Transition Procedures shall account for Customer's continuing
obligation under Section 2.6.3 to provide timely and accurate data to Supplier.
Customer and Supplier shall execute an Elimination Form for any termination
under this Section.

            9.4 Termination by Supplier. If Customer fails to pay undisputed
invoiced amounts (including, without limitation, amounts determined pursuant to
Section 11 to be owing to Supplier) within thirty (30) days after receipt of a
written notice from Supplier, Supplier may terminate this Agreement. In the
event of a failure of Customer to perform any other obligation under this
Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of Supplier's
written notice, Supplier may terminate this Agreement provided that Supplier
shall be required to pursue the dispute resolution process in Section 11 prior
to exercising such right of termination.

            9.5 Obligations upon Termination. Upon any termination pursuant to
Section 9 of this Agreement, Customer shall have no further payment obligations
relating to the terminated Services; provided, however, that no such termination
relating to any or all of the Services shall relieve Customer of its obligation
(a) to pay Supplier the remaining unpaid balance of any Basic Costs (including
costs for any Transition Services) and Pass Through Charges due and payable
through the date of termination, as well as any Pass Through Charges that are
incurred during the Term but are not yet due and payable, (b) for contractual
commitments made on behalf of Customer or its Affiliates under any Enterprise
Contracts, or (c) to provide timely and accurate data to Supplier pursuant to
Section 2.6.3. Provided Supplier has acted in good faith, Supplier shall not be
required to perform its obligations under the Transition Procedures or any other
obligations under this Agreement beyond the date which is 180 days after the
Termination Date. Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall serve to relieve
Supplier from its payment obligations to Customer under this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, any amounts due Customer pursuant to Section 6,
Section 10 or Section 11.

    Section 10. Indemnification. Subject to the terms of Section 5, in addition
to any indemnity either party may be expressly entitled to under other
provisions of this Agreement, the parties shall be entitled to indemnification
to the extent and upon the terms set forth in this Section 10.

        10.1 Indemnification by Supplier. Supplier shall indemnify, defend and
hold Customer and its Affiliates harmless from and against any fines and
penalties (and any costs incident thereto) arising solely from Supplier's action
or inaction under the terms of this Agreement. In addition, Supplier shall
indemnify, defend and hold Customer harmless from and against any Damages and
Claims incurred by reason of:

            10.1.1 the breach by Supplier of this Agreement, including the
representations, warranties and covenants of Supplier contained herein;

            10.1.2 any Person acting on behalf of Supplier in connection with
this Agreement, including without limitation, any fee claimed by such Person;


                                       15
<PAGE>

            10.1.3 any claim that any Software utilized in providing the
Services (other than Customer Software) violates any patent, trademark,
copyright, trade secret or any other proprietary right of any Person, but in the
case of any such Software, only to the extent that Supplier is able to
successfully obtain indemnification therefor from the licensor thereof; or

            10.1.4 the performance by Supplier of the Services under this
Agreement to the extent caused by Supplier's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

            10.2 Indemnification by Customer. Customer shall indemnify, defend
and hold Supplier and its Affiliates harmless from and against any Damages and
Claims incurred by reason of:

            10.2.1 the breach by Customer of this Agreement, including the
representations, warranties and covenants of Customer contained herein;

            10.2.2 actions taken by Supplier in reliance upon written
instructions or orders received from Customer in connection with the Services
provided hereunder;

            10.2.3 any Person acting on behalf of Customer in connection with
this Agreement, including without limitation, any fee claimed by such Person;

            10.2.4 any claim that any Customer Software violates any patent,
trademark, copyright, trade secret or any other proprietary right of any Person,
but in the case of any such Customer Software, only to the extent that Customer
is able to successfully obtain indemnification therefor from the licensor
thereof; or

            10.2.5 subject to Section 10.1, the performance by Supplier of the
Services under this Agreement unless caused by Supplier's gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

        10.3 Notification. Any Person entitled to assert a claim or demand for
indemnification under this Section 10 (the "Indemnitee"), in order to secure
indemnification with respect to this Agreement, shall notify the indemnifying
party hereunder (the "Indemnitor") in writing of the existence of such matter
within a reasonable time based on the facts and circumstances of the situation,
including the necessities of court actions. The Indemnitee shall furnish to the
Indemnitor promptly such information as the Indemnitor may reasonably request in
respect to such claim or demand. The Indemnitor shall have the right (but not
the obligation) at its sole expense and in the name of the Indemnitee, to
compromise or defend any matter involving a third party (a "Third Party Claim")
for which indemnification has been sought hereunder. The Indemnitee shall
cooperate and cause its Affiliates to cooperate with the Indemnitor in
compromising or defending any such Third Party Claim, provided the actual
out-of-pocket expenditures (other than legal expenses) incurred in such
cooperation shall be paid by the Indemnitor. After notice from an Indemnitor to
an Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, such
Indemnitor shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Section 10 for any
legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the
defense thereof; provided that such Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate
in such defense and to employ counsel, at the Indemnitee's expense, to assist it
therein. If the Indemnitor does not provide the Indemnitee with a written notice
of its intention to defend the Third Party Claim



                                       16
<PAGE>

or does not commence to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim within
thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the Indemnitee of the existence of
such claim, or if the Indemnitor disputes its liability to the Indemnitee for
any sum pursuant to this Section 10 or otherwise, the Indemnitee may defend or
otherwise dispose of the Third Party Claim; provided that such Indemnitee shall
not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise
with respect to such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the
Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

         Any other provision in this Section 10 notwithstanding, if an offer of
settlement or compromise is received by an Indemnitor with respect to a Third
Party Claim and such Indemnitor notifies the related Indemnitee in writing of
such Indemnitor's willingness to settle or compromise such Third Party Claim on
the basis set forth in such notice and such Indemnitee declines to accept such
settlement or compromise, such Indemnitee may continue to contest such Third
Party Claim, free of any participation by such Indemnitor, at such Indemnitee's
sole expense. In such event, the obligation of such Indemnitor to such
Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim shall be equal to the lesser
of (a) the amount of the offer of settlement or compromise which such Indemnitee
declined to accept plus the amount of indemnifiable costs and expenses incurred
by such Indemnitee prior to the date such Indemnitor notifies such Indemnitee of
the offer to settle or compromise and (b) the actual out-of-pocket amounts such
Indemnitee is obligated to pay as a result of such Indemnitee's continuing to
contest such Third Party Claim.

            10.4 Sole Remedy. This section states the entire obligation and sole
remedy of each of the parties with respect to any claim of infringement.

        Section 11. Informal Dispute Resolution; Arbitration. Customer and
Supplier agree that any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or related
to this Agreement (the "dispute") shall go through the following informal
dispute resolution process prior to submission to arbitration. First, the
dispute, together with all relevant documentation, shall be submitted in writing
to a senior management representative of both Customer and Supplier and, in the
case of a disputed payment under Section 6.8, within thirty (30) days after
receipt of invoice. The representatives will negotiate in an effort to resolve
the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding. If the
representatives cannot resolve the dispute within fifteen business days of
receipt of written notice, the dispute may be submitted to arbitration.

         If any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or related to this
Agreement has not been resolved, the parties hereby agree to arbitration. All
matters referred to arbitration shall be determined and settled according to the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association except as
expressly set forth herein. Either party may demand arbitration by giving
written notice to the other party stating the nature of the controversy.
Arbitration shall be by three arbitrators, one of which is selected by each
party and the third of which is selected by the two arbitrators so selected.
Arbitrators shall have experience as insurance company executives. The
arbitration shall be held in Cincinnati, Ohio or such other place as agreed upon
by the parties. The arbitration panel shall allow discovery as is appropriate
for the purposes of the arbitration in accomplishing fair, speedy and
cost-effective resolution of disputes. The costs of arbitration, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorney fees, shall be apportioned between the
parties in the proportion to the amount of fault attributed to each party by the


                                       17
<PAGE>

arbitration panel. There shall be no award of punitive, consequential or
extra-contractual damages. The decision of the arbitration panel shall be final,
conclusive and binding upon the parties and a judgment upon the award rendered
by the arbitration panel may be entered into any court having jurisdiction
thereof. The parties agree and stipulate that time is of the essence in
conducting the arbitration of disputes. If either party unreasonably delays the
process of the arbitration, the other party shall not be obligated to continue
with the arbitration process, and shall have the right to legal review of the
dispute.

         Section 12. Miscellaneous.

            12.1 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all
costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Services
contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and
expenses.

            12.2 Notices. All notices and requests in connection with this
Agreement shall be given to or made upon the respective parties in writing and
shall be deemed given as of the day actually received if sent by telecopy,
facsimile transmission, some other form of instantaneous transmission, overnight
or faster private courier, or if otherwise hand-delivered, but if deposited in
the United States mails, shall not be deemed delivered until three (3) days
after being sent, with postage pre-paid, certified or registered, with return
receipt requested and addressed as follows:

            580 Walnut Street
            Cincinnati, Ohio  45202
            Attn:  General Counsel

         Either party may change its address for notices by giving notice of
same in the manner specified above.

            12.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Schedules
to this Agreement, and such further amendments as may be incorporated into this
Agreement from time to time, constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of
the parties' intentions with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or in writing,
with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Without limiting the
foregoing, this Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of
the parties' intentions with respect to any compensation or reimbursement for
which Customer shall be liable to Supplier or any Affiliate reinsurer of
Supplier in connection with any unallocated expenses for


                                       18
<PAGE>

employees and ordinary overhead expenses such as salaries, annual retainers,
office expenses and other fixed expenses of Supplier, including, without
limitation, any expenses in connection with the foregoing contained in the
Reinsurance Agreement.

            12.4 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the
State of Ohio, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

            12.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or
impaired thereby, unless such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality renders
the Agreement as a whole substantially unperformable.

            12.6 Force Majeure. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Agreement, neither party shall be liable in any manner for any failure to
perform their obligations under this Agreement resulting in any manner from
delay, failure in performance, loss or damage due to fire, strike, embargo,
explosion, power blackout, earthquake, flood, act of war, terrorism, riot,
governmental requirement or other causes beyond such party's reasonable control,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing (including, without limitation,
actions or inactions by unrelated Persons contributing to failures to perform),
for so long as such circumstances continue to exist and cause such failure to
perform. If a force majeure event causes a material failure in Supplier's
performance of any Services for more than two (2) consecutive days, Customer
shall not be required to pay any fees or expenses for such period of time. In
addition, if the force majeure event continues uninterrupted for a period of 30
consecutive days, Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon
immediate written notice but otherwise in accordance with Section 9.3.

            12.7 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective
successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended to confer on any Person other than the parties and their respective
successors and assigns any rights or remedies under or by this Agreement. The
foregoing notwithstanding, neither this Agreement nor the parties' rights and
obligations hereunder, nor any of these, may be assigned by either party to this
Agreement without the express written consent of the other party and any
purported assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Customer may designate an Affiliate to receive any of the
Services to be provided by Supplier provided that the scope of the Services is
not increased in Supplier's sole judgment. Supplier shall have the right,
without the consent of Customer but with 30 days prior written notice, to assign
its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate, provided that
(x) such Affiliate is capable of performing all of Supplier's obligations
hereunder, including, without limitation, the indemnification obligations and
(y) Customer shall incur no additional expense as a result of such assignment.

            12.8 Survival. The obligations and other provisions set forth in
Sections 2.6.3, 5, 7, 8, 9.5, 10, 11 and 12 of this Agreement, together with any
other indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement, shall survive any
expiration or termination of this Agreement.

            12.9 No Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed or construed by the parties or any other Person to create the
relationship of partnership or of joint venture. By this Agreement, Supplier and
Customer intend to create an independent contractor relationship.
