       from time to time) (collectively, the "TRANSITIONAL SERVICES").

3.2    St. Paul Re UK shall provide each of the Transitional Services in such
       manner as Platinum Re UK may from time to time reasonably request for the
       purposes of this agreement, provided that in no case shall St. Paul Re UK
       be required to provide any or all of the Transitional Services to a
       standard which is materially higher than that to which the equivalent
       service is generally provided by St. Paul Re UK in respect of its other
       business.

3.3    St. Paul Re UK shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining in full
       force and effect any and all licences and authorisations necessary for
       the lawful provision by it of any or all of the Transitional Services

3.4    St. Paul Re UK shall provide each of the Transitional Services up to and
       including 31st March, 2003 or such earlier date as is set out in Schedule

       shall consider in good faith any request by Platinum Re UK for the
       provision of a particular Transitional Service to be continued beyond the
       applicable Transitional Services End Date in the light of the
       circumstances subsisting at the time such request is made. St. Paul Re UK
       and Platinum Re UK shall agree upon the terms which will govern the
       provision of the particular Transitional Service to be so provided at the
       time Platinum Re UK makes such request.

3.5    St. Paul Re UK shall ensure that it does not breach any obligation owed
       by it to the regulator and that it does not cause Platinum Re UK to be in
       breach of its obligations owed to the regulator through the provision of
       the Transitional Services hereunder.

3.6    (A)   In consideration for the provision to it of each Transitional
             Service, Platinum Re UK shall reimburse St. Paul Re UK in respect
             of the actual cost to St. Paul Re UK, as certified in good faith by
             St. Paul Re UK, of providing each Transitional Service to Platinum
             Re UK.

       (B)   For the purposes of sub-clause 3.6(A) above, the actual cost to
             St. Paul Re UK shall consist of its direct and reasonable indirect
             costs and shall include any incremental and out-of-pocket costs
             incurred by St. Paul Re UK in connection with the Transitional

             providing the Transitional Services and the cost of establishing
             requisite systems and data feeds and hiring necessary personnel.

             Transitional Services as soon as reasonably practicable after the

       (B)   St. Paul Re UK shall assign its service co-ordinator (as described

                   Transitional Services;

             (iii) be available to the Parties during normal business hours; and

                   of, assistance regarding the Transitional Services.

             incurring of costs related thereto.

       (C)   Either Party may from time to time substitute the individual
             serving as its service co-ordinator with another individual
             qualified to serve in that position.

3.9    (A)   Subject to any relevant confidentiality or other obligations to or
             rights of third parties, St. Paul Re UK shall provide to Platinum
             Re UK all service operating manuals and other written materials
             relating to the Transitional Services, together with any
             supplements or updates thereto, as reasonably requested by Platinum
             Re UK.

       (B)   Platinum Re UK may, subject to complying with the terms of this
             agreement and any rights of third parties, at its own expense copy
             any material provided to it pursuant to sub-clause 3.9(A) above.

3.10   Platinum Re UK shall promptly notify St. Paul Re UK in writing if it
       becomes aware of any services different from or in addition to the
       Transitional Services as set out in Schedule 1 which are necessary and
       advisable for fulfilling any of the purposes set out in this agreement,
       and the Parties hereby undertake to co-operate in good faith promptly to
       agree revisions to this agreement as necessary and advisable to reflect
       the intention of the Parties as to the provision of those services and
       the payment therefor.

       assist and co-operate with the other Party in doing, all things which the
       Parties, acting reasonably, agree to be necessary or advisable to effect
       the transactions contemplated by this agreement.

3.12   Platinum Re UK shall fully comply with and shall procure that its
       officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents and other
       representatives fully comply with any security guidelines and other rules
       and regulations notified to it by St. Paul Re UK from time to time in

       added or transfer tax payable with respect to the provision of any

             reasonably required for the other Party to carry on its business.

       (B)   For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party shall be required under

8.     FORCE MAJEURE

10.    ARBITRATION

10.1   Subject to sub-clause 10.10, all matters in difference between the
       Parties arising under, out of or in connection with this agreement,
       including formation and validity, and whether arising during or after the
       period of this agreement, may be referred by either Party to an
       arbitration tribunal in the manner hereinafter set out.

10.2   Unless the Parties appoint a sole arbitrator within 14 days of one
       receiving a written request from the other for arbitration, the claimant
       (the Party requesting arbitration) shall appoint its arbitrator and give
       written notice thereof to the respondent. Within 14 days of receiving
       such notice the respondent shall appoint its arbitrator and give written
       notice thereof to the claimant, failing which the claimant may apply to
       the appointor hereafter named to nominate an arbitrator on behalf of the
       respondent.

10.3   The appointor shall be the Chairman for the time being of the A.I.D.A.
       Reinsurance and Insurance Arbitration Society of the UK ("ARIAS (UK)")
       or, if he is unavailable or it is inappropriate for him to act for any
       reason, such person as may be nominated by the Committee of ARIAS (UK).

10.4   Before they enter upon a reference the two arbitrators shall appoint a
       third arbitrator. Should they fail to appoint such a third arbitrator
       within 30 days of the appointment of the respondent's arbitrator then any
       of them or either of the Parties concerned may apply to the appointor for
       the appointment of the third arbitrator. The three arbitrators shall
       decide by majority. If no majority can be reached the verdict of the
       third arbitrator shall prevail. He shall also act as chairman of the
       tribunal.

10.5   Unless the Parties otherwise agree the arbitration tribunal shall consist
       of persons (including those who have retired) with not less than ten
       years' experience of insurance or reinsurance as persons engaged in the
       industry itself or as lawyers or other professional advisers.

10.6   The arbitration tribunal shall, so far as is permissible under the law
       and practice of the place of arbitration, have power to fix all
       procedural rules for the holding of the arbitration including
       discretionary power to make orders as to any matters which it may
       consider proper in the circumstances of the case with regard to
       pleadings, discovery, inspection of the documents, examination of
       witnesses and any other matter whatsoever relating to the conduct of the
       arbitration and may receive and act upon such evidence whether oral or
       written, strictly admissible or not as it shall in its discretion think
       fit.

10.7   All costs of the arbitration shall be determined by the arbitration
       tribunal who may, taking into account the law and practice of the place
       of arbitration, direct to and by whom and in what manner they shall be
       paid.

<Page>

10.8   Unless the Parties otherwise agree, the place of arbitration shall be
       London, England and, for the avoidance of doubt, the arbitration tribunal
       shall apply English law.

10.9   The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be in writing and binding
       upon the Parties who consent to carry out the same.

10.10  If any matter in difference between the Parties is related to a matter of
       difference in the United States of America, such matter will be subject
       to the arbitration procedure set out in Article XIV of the 100 per cent.
       Quota Share Retrocession Agreement [of even date] between St. Paul Fire
       and Marine Insurance Company and Platinum Underwriters Reinsurance, Inc.,
       provided that the panel of arbitrators shall apply English law in respect
       of those aspects of the matter which relate to the United Kingdom.

11.    MISCELLANEOUS

11.1   Neither Party may assign its rights under this agreement without the
       prior written consent of the other. Subject to the foregoing, this
       agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be
       enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

11.2   This agreement and the Formation Agreement constitute the whole and only
       agreement between the Parties in relation to the subject matter of this
       agreement and, save to the extent repeated in this agreement and/or the

       with respect thereto.

11.3   This agreement may only be varied in writing signed by each of the
       Parties.

11.4   (A)   No failure or delay on the part of either Party in exercising a
             right, power or remedy provided by this agreement or by law shall
             operate as a waiver of that right, power or remedy or a waiver of
             any other rights, powers or remedies.

       (B)   No single or partial exercise of a right, power or remedy provided
             by this agreement or by law shall prevent further exercise of that
             right, power or remedy or the exercise of another right, power or
             remedy.

       (C)   Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights, powers and
             remedies provided in this agreement shall be cumulative and not
             exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies provided by law.

11.5   If any provision of this agreement or any part of any such provision is
       held to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, such provision or part (as
       the case may be) shall be ineffective only to the extent of such
       invalidity, unlawfulness or unenforceability, without rendering invalid,
       unlawful or unenforceable or otherwise prejudicing or affecting the
       remainder of such provision or any other provision of this agreement.

11.6   The Parties hereto acknowledge that if any of the provisions of this
       agreement were not to be performed in accordance with their specific
       terms or were otherwise to be breached, irreparable damage would occur
       and damages would not be an adequate

<Page>

       remedy. In the event of any such breach, the aggrieved Party shall be
       entitled, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, to
       specific performance of the terms hereof and immediate injunctive or
       other equitable relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy
       of money damages as a remedy or of posting any bond or other security.

11.7   Nothing in this agreement shall require Platinum Re UK to purchase any
       particular quantity or level of any Transitional Service provided under
       this agreement.

11.8   The Parties do not intend that any term of this agreement shall be
       enforceable, by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act
       1999, by any person who is not a party to this agreement.

11.9   St. Paul Re UK shall co-operate with Platinum Re UK and any regulatory
       authority to satisfy any regulatory requirements applicable to St. Paul
       Re UK by virtue of its provision of Transitional Services to Platinum Re
       UK hereunder.

11.10  Nothing in this agreement and no action taken by the Parties under this
       agreement shall constitute a partnership, association, joint venture or
       other co-operative entity between the Parties.

11.11  Nothing in this agreement shall oblige either Party to act in breach of
       the requirements of any law, rule or regulation applicable to it,
       including securities and insurance laws, written policy statements of
       securities commissions, insurance and other regulatory authorities, and
       the by-laws, rules, regulations and written policy statements of relevant
       securities and self-regulatory organisations.
