TRANSFER AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

TRANSFER
AND  PURCHASE AGREEMENT(this Agreement), made and entered  into
this 2nd day of December, 2003, by and between Imagine Insurance  Company
Limited, a Barbados corporation (the Buyer), and PMA  Capital
Insurance Company, a Pennsylvania corporation (the  Seller).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS,
the Seller is engaged, in part, in the finite reinsurance business (the
"Business");

WHEREAS,
the Buyer desires to purchase and acquire from the Seller, and the Seller  desires to
sell and transfer to the Buyer, certain of the assets of the Seller  (excluding, for
greater clarity, those contracts listed on Schedule III hereto),  constituting part of
the Business, on the terms and subject to the conditions  hereinafter set forth; and

WHEREAS, unless
the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used in this Agreement  shall have the
meanings ascribed to such terms in Article VIII of this  Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the foregoing premises and of the mutual  covenants hereinafter
contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

CLOSING; PURCHASE AND SALE

1.1
The Closing. The closing (the  Closing) of the transactions set
forth in this Article I  shall take place on the date hereof at such time and place as
the Buyer and the  Seller may mutually agree. Hereinafter, such date is referred to as
the  Closing Date, such time on the Closing Date is referred to as
the ClosingTime and such place is referred to as the  Closing
Place.

1.2
Sale and Purchase of Assets.

(a)
Upon the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance  upon the representations and
warranties herein set forth, the Seller shall,  sell, convey, transfer, assign and
deliver (collectively,  Transfer) to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall
purchase and  acquire from the Seller:

| | (i) | the
Sellers right, title and interest in the renewals (the  Renewal Rights)
of the in-force reinsurance policies,  contracts, binders, endorsements and extensions
thereto issued or written by the  Seller which comprise the Business as of the Closing
Date and which are listed  on Schedule I hereto (each, a Reinsurance Contract and
collectively, the Reinsurance Contracts);
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (ii) | at
the option of the Buyer, which may be exercised by the Buyer from time to  time after the
Closing and until the expiration or termination date of a  Reinsurance Contract, any and
all of the Sellers right, title and interest  in and to each Reinsurance
| | ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---

| |  | Contract, ;subject
to the Sellers obligations and liabilities  thereunder (each, a Novated
Contract, and collectively, the Novated Contracts),
| |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (iii) | such
readily-marketable liquid assets or, as the case may be, rights to funds  withheld by the
ceding insurer, measured on a fair market value basis in amounts  equal to the fair value
of the assets and liabilities assumed under each Novated  Contract (the Reserve
Transfer Amount),
| | ----- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (iv) | such
additional assets owned by the Seller as the Buyer and the Seller may agree  to be
Transferred from time to time after the Closing Date (the  Additional Assets),
and
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (v) | all
of the Sellers original statistical and sales data, records, papers,  documents,
books, memoranda, files, and, to the extent owned by the Seller and  transferable without
the consent of any third party, all of the Sellers  pricing and financial models,
electronic databases and files and software, in  each case pertaining to the Novated
Contracts, and copies of all of the  Sellers original statistical and sales data,
records, papers, documents,  books, memoranda and files and, to the extent owned by the
Seller and  transferable without the consent of any third party, all of the Sellers
pricing and financial models, electronic databases and files and software, in  each case
pertaining to the Renewal Rights (the Records, together with the
Renewal Rights, the Novated Contracts, the Reserve Transfer  Amount and the Additional
Assets, the Assets), provided, that  in the event any such Record is
not so owned and transferable, the Seller shall  permit those of its employees who have
been offered and have accepted employment  by the Buyer pursuant to Section 1.8 below to
continue to use such Record  (provided, further, that such use is permitted without the
consent of the owner  or licensor of such Record) until the earlier of (x) the date on
which such  employee commences his or her employment with the Buyer and (y) the
termination  of the Sellers license to use such Record, and the Seller will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to (A) maintain the right of such employees to  continue
to use such Records during such period, and (B) facilitate the transfer  of the Sellers
right or license to use such Record to the Buyer for at  least so long as the Seller has
prepaid the license fees therefor, provided,  that any and all costs and expenses
incurred by the Seller in connection with  the use of such Record (above any license fees
previously paid by the Seller)  will be borne by the Buyer (it being understood that the
parties will use their  commercially reasonable efforts to limit the extent of such
costs, if  practicable to do so).
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer and the Seller  agree and acknowledge that the
Buyer will not acquire or assume any right, title  or interest in or to or liability
under any Novated Contract or Reserve Transfer  Amount until such time as (i) the Buyer
has provided written notice to the  Seller of the Buyers exercise of its right to
acquire such asset, (ii)  Novation Amendments (as defined below) have been fully executed
and delivered to  the Buyer and the Seller and (iii) all other consents and approvals
necessary to  the assignment and assumption of such Novated Contracts have been received
in  writing by the Buyer and the Seller (the date of the occurrence of the final of  such
events is a Transfer Date).

2

---

(c)
From the Closing Date until December 31, 2004, the Buyer  shall have reasonable access
during normal business hours to the Records and to  the employees of the Seller or its
affiliates for purposes of conducting its  review of the Reinsurance Contracts.

(d)
Other than the Assets (subject to Section 1.2(b) above), all  right, title and interest
in and to all other assets of the Seller will remain  the property of the Seller.

(e)
For greater certainty, in connection with paragraph  1.2(a)(ii) above, with respect to
any Reinsurance Contract, the Seller hereby  grants the Buyer the exclusive right from
the Closing Date until 120 days after  the expiration of such Reinsurance Contract
(except, in the case of (x)  Reinsurance Contracts which expire on December 31, 2003,
until 60 days after the  expiration of such contracts and (y) the Reinsurance Contracts
with Nova  Casualty Company and Associated Industries Insurance Company, until December
31,  2003, provided, that the Seller will not initiate discussions with Associated
Industries Insurance Company regarding the commutation of the Reinsurance  Contract to
which the Seller and Associated Industries Insurance Company are  parties prior to
December 19, 2003) (in each case, the Outside  Date) to novate or
otherwise assume the liabilities under such  Reinsurance Contract or to introduce the
Reinsurance Contracts to third parties  who are not affiliates of the Buyer and who may
offer finite reinsurance  business as set forth in Section 1.10. The Buyer will waive
this right only by  notice in writing to the Seller and such notice shall only apply in
respect of  the individual Reinsurance Contract referred to in such notice. The Seller
acknowledges that as part of any such novation or assumption, the Buyer may  amend the
terms and conditions of any Novated Contract in its discretion,  subject to agreement
with the Reinsured; provided, however, that the Buyer shall  not amend any Novated
Contract if the effect of such amendment would adversely  affect the amounts of Margin
Payments otherwise payable to the Seller in  accordance with the terms of the Novated
Contract without giving effect to such  amendment, unless the Seller consents to such
amendment in writing. Except as  contemplated by this Section 1.2(e), the Seller shall
not cancel, commute,  novate or otherwise alter or amend the terms of any Reinsurance
Contract until  after the applicable Outside Date. With respect to any particular
Reinsurance  Contract, after the earlier of (a) the time that the Buyer waives its rights
thereto as set forth in this Section 1.2(e), and (b) the applicable Outside  Date, the
Seller shall not be obligated to comply with this Section 1.2(e).

1.3
Assumption of Liabilities.

(a)
As of any Transfer Date, pursuant to the terms and  conditions of the Novation
Amendments, the Seller shall assign and transfer  tothe Buyer, and the Buyer
shall assume as legally binding and  enforceable direct obligations, without recourse to
Seller, one hundred percent  (100%) of the liabilities of the Seller as of the Transfer
Date, including,  without limitation, whether such liability is absolute, accrued,
contingent or  outstanding, asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, with respect to all
Liabilities (as defined in Section 1.3(b)) with respect to those Novated  Contracts
actually transferred to the Buyer pursuant to Section 1.2.

(b)
For purposes of this Agreement, the term  Liabilities means the gross
liability of the Sellers on a  Novated Contract, except for any liability of the Seller
which was not disclosed  to the Buyer and arises from the Sellers bad faith in
discharging its  duties under Novated Contracts prior to the applicable Transfer Date.

3

---

(c)
All Liabilities and Novated Contracts for which the Buyer is  liable under this Agreement
are subject in all respects to the same terms,  conditions, covenants, interpretations,
waivers, modifications, alterations and  cancellations as the original Reinsurance
Contracts, except that the  Reinsureds right of offset, if any, shall apply only in
respect of amounts  due under those Reinsurance Contracts that are Novated Contracts. The
Buyer  accepts and assumes as of the applicable Transfer Date the Liabilities subject  to
all defenses, setoffs and counterclaims to which the Seller would be entitled  with
respect to the Novated Contracts. It is expressly understood and agreed by  the parties
that, as between the Buyer and all Reinsureds (as defined in Section  1.3(d)) or third
persons or entities other than the Seller, no such defenses,  setoffs or counterclaims
are waived by the execution of this Agreement or the  consummation of the transaction
contemplated under this Agreement, and that as  of the applicable Transfer Date, the
Buyer shall be fully subrogated to all such  defenses, setoffs and counterclaims.

(d)
The Buyer acknowledges that as of the applicable Transfer  Date, the Buyer is the
successor to the Seller under the Novated Contracts  actually transferred to the Buyer
pursuant to Section 1.2. Such Novated  Contracts shall be legally binding, enforceable
and direct obligations of the  Buyer, without recourse to Seller, and the Seller shall
have no liabilities  therefor. The Buyer shall substitute itself in the place of the
Seller as if  named in the place of the Seller. The Reinsureds (as defined in the
following  sentence) shall thereafter disregard the Seller as a party to such Novated
Contracts, and shall treat the Buyer as if it had been originally obligated  under such
Novated Contracts. For the purposes of this Agreement,  Reinsured or
Reinsureds means the named  reinsureds under any Reinsurance Contract.
After the applicable Transfer Date,  Reinsureds shall only have the right to file claims
arising under such Novated  Contracts directly with the Buyer. The Reinsureds shall have
a direct right of  action against the Buyer and the Buyer hereby consents to be subject
to direct  action taken by any Reinsured. The rights of any Reinsured shall be limited to
and consist of those rights set forth in the applicable Novated Contract  (including any
amendment to such Novated Contract) and no Reinsured shall have  the right to receive a
greater amount under such Novated Contract than such  party would have had in the absence
of this Agreement.

(e)
In assessing the rights of any Reinsured under a Novated  Contract, no effect shall be
given to the bankruptcy, liquidation, insolvency,  reorganization or moratorium of the
Seller, or the effect of laws or legal  procedures affecting enforcement of creditors rights
against the Seller  generally.

1.4
Right to Receive Payments; Power of Attorney.  Premiums and other income amounts
due or paid on the Novated Contracts actually  transferred to the Buyer pursuant to
Section 1.2 on and after the applicable  Transfer Date shall be the sole property ofthe
Buyer. From and after the  applicable Transfer Date, all Reinsureds under the applicable
Novated Contracts  shall pay all premiums on such contracts directly to the Buyer. All
monies,  checks, drafts, wire transfers, orders, postal notes, other instruments and any
net set off to the benefit of any Seller Group Member in connection with a  Novated
Contract received by the Seller after the applicable Transfer Date for  such premiums,
loan repayments and other income amounts shall be transferred and  delivered to the
Buyer, and any such instruments when so delivered shall bear  all endorsements required
to effect such transfer and delivery. From and after  the applicable Transfer Date, the
Buyer shall be authorized, and hereby is  authorized, to endorse for payment any such
instruments payable to, or to the  order of, the Seller and received by the Buyer under
this Section 1.4. For each  Novated Contract actually transferred to the Buyer pursuant
to Section

4

---

1.2, the  Seller hereby constitutes and appoints, effective as of the
Transfer  Date with  respect to any such Novated Contract, the Buyer and its successors
and assigns  as the true and lawful attorney of the Seller with full power of
substitution in  the  name of the Buyer or in the name of the Seller, but for the benefit
of the  Buyer (i) to  collect for the account of the Buyer but as agent of the Seller any
items of Assets and  (ii) to institute and prosecute all proceedings which the  Buyer may
in its sole  discretion deem proper in order to assert or enforce any  right, title or
interest in, to  or under the Assets, and to defend or compromise  any and all actions,
suits or  proceedings in respect of the Assets. The Buyer  shall be entitled to retain
the Assets  actually transferred to the Buyer  pursuant to Section 1.2 for its account
any amounts  collected pursuant to the  foregoing powers, including any amounts payable
as interest in  respect thereof.  The Seller acknowledges that such powers are coupled
with an interest  and shall  not be revocable by it in any manner or for any reason,
including, without  limitation, the liquidation or dissolution of the Seller.

1.5
Excluded Liabilities. Except to the extent provided  in Section 1.3 and the
Novation Amendments, it is expressly agreed and  understood that the Buyer shall not have
any liability with respect to, and  shall not assume, and the Seller shall remain liable
for, any and all of the  Sellers liabilities, obligations, damages, payments,
costs, expenses or  claims (collectively, the Excluded Liabilities).

1.6
Novation Amendments. On or before any applicable  Transfer Date, the Buyer shall
present a Novation Amendment substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit A (or in such form and  containing such provisions as may be required by the
insurance regulatory  authorities in a particular jurisdiction) to each Reinsured that is
reinsured  under any Novated Contract, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to
arrange  for the execution and delivery of such Novation Amendment by such Reinsured as
promptly as is commercially practicable. Each such Novation Amendment shall  become
effective on the applicable Transfer Date and when executed by the  Reinsured. A Novated
Contract whose assignment to the Buyer is rejected by the  Reinsured or which assignment
is deemed by operation of law to have been  rejected shall hereinafter be referred to as
a Rejected Reinsurance  Contract and shall remain a direct obligation
of the Seller not  subject to this Agreement.

1.7
Renewal Rights. In connection with the sale of the  Renewal Rights, the Seller
will provide reasonable assistance to the Buyer in  establishing or expanding business
relationships with the Reinsureds under the  applicable Reinsurance Contracts, and shall
use its reasonable best efforts to  encourage its cedents and brokers to engage in the
Business with respect to the  Renewal Rights with the Buyer. The Seller will provide such
assistance by  cooperating with the Buyer in sending each reinsured a letter in a form to
be  agreed upon by the Buyer and the Seller. The Buyer expressly acknowledges that  its
purchase of the Renewal Rights is not a guarantee that the Reinsureds under  the
Reinsurance Contracts will each desire to have the Buyer continue as the  reinsurer
through which they obtain reinsurance. Other than the letters which  the Seller will
cooperate in sending to Reinsureds, the Seller will have no  responsibility for ensuring
that such Reinsureds establish or expand business  relationships with the Buyer. While
the Buyer shall consider the  existing terms and conditions provided by the Seller under
the Reinsurance  Contracts, the Buyer reserves the right to apply its own underwriting
guidelines  and judgement in the exercise of the Renewal Rights.

5

---

1.8
Employees. The Buyer shall, at its option, but not  later than December 31, 2003,
make offers of employment to at least four  employees of the Seller from the available
persons set forth in Schedule II,  provided that any such offer be on terms and
conditions that are substantially  the same, and no less favorable, as to base salary and
annual bonus only, as  those provided by the Seller to such employee immediately prior to
the Closing  Date (and excluding any extraordinary bonus, outside of or in addition to
such  employees regular annual bonus, paid by the Seller in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Other terms and conditions of such  offers
of employment shall be as agreed between the Buyer and such employees,  including that
such employees will be entitled to participate in the  Buyers existing benefit
arrangements, subject to normal eligibility and  vesting criteria. The Buyer shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to  credit periods of service prior to the Closing
for purposes of determining  eligibility and vesting of all Plans maintained by the Buyer
on or after the  Closing Date, except where such credit would result in the duplication
of  benefits or except with respect to any benefit where only future service is  taken
into account. The Buyer will advise the Seller in advance of any and all  discussions
with such employees regarding such employment.

1.9
Approvals. The Seller and the Buyer shall use their  reasonable best efforts to
cooperate in obtaining all consents, approvals and  agreements of, and to provide or make
all required notices to and filings with,  all regulatory authorities and other third
parties as may be necessary to  effect, authorize and permit the execution, delivery and
performance of each  Novation Agreement.

1.10
Buyer Exclusivity. The Seller agrees and  acknowledges that following the Closing
Date and subject to Section 1.2(e), the  Buyer shall have the right, at its sole
discretion, to introduce Reinsurance  Contracts not underwritten by the Buyer to
non-affiliated third parties who may  offer finite reinsurance business.

1.11
Administration and Servicing.

(a)
Commencing as of the applicable Transfer Date and except as  hereinafter provided, all
administration and servicing of the Novated Contracts  and the supervision and payment of
all claims incurred under the Novated  Contracts shall be provided by the Buyer, and the
expense of such  administration, servicing, supervision and payment shall be borne solely
by the  Buyer. Subject to any contrary provisions set out in any Novation Amendment or
as may otherwise be agreed between the Buyer and any Reinsured, the obligations  of the
Buyer under each Novated Contract shall be the same as those of the  Seller in accordance
with the terms of the Novated Contracts.

(b) The
Buyer reserves the right, and shall be authorized, to make any defense at law or in
equity to any action or claim instituted or made under any Novated Contract which could
have been instituted or made by the Seller had this Agreement not been executed. All of
the provisions, conditions, limitations and exclusions contained in such Novated
Contracts shall remain in effect and be applicable in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Novated Contracts, except as they may be specifically amended by the
Buyer after the applicable Transfer Date; provided, however, any such
amendments shall not impose any additional liability on the Seller under the Novated
Contracts. The Seller shall offer reasonable assistance to the Buyer in asserting its
rights under this paragraph 1.11(b).

ARTICLE II.

PURCHASE PRICE

2.1
Consideration.

(a)
As consideration for the Assets, the Buyer shall pay to the  Seller cash payments as
follows (each a Margin Payment):

| | (i) | amounts
equal to 67% of the cumulative Net Margin Earned by the Seller under the  Novated
Contracts from the effective date of such Novated Contract to the  applicable Transfer
Date, such amounts to accrue to the benefit of the Seller as  of the applicable Transfer
Date; plus
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (ii) | amounts
equal to 50% of the cumulative Net Margin Earned in connection with the  Novated
Contracts, such amounts, after deducting cumulative Net Margin Earned  under paragraph
2.1(a)(i), to accrue to the benefit of the Seller as such Net  Margin Earned is earned by
the Buyer after the applicable Transfer Date; plus
| | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (iii) | amounts
equal to 33% of the cumulative Net Margin Earned by the Buyer in  connection with
business written pursuant to the Renewal Rights during the  period ending one year from
the Closing Date, such amounts to accrue to the  benefit of the Seller as such Net Margin
Earned is earned by the Buyer.
| | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Margin
Payments  shall be calculated and paid quarterly as set forth in Section 2.2 and shall
only accrue on those Reinsurance Contracts which are subject to Renewal Rights  during
the first renewal period, regardless of the number of renewals  subsequently provided by
the Buyer. For greater certainty, for any Reinsurance  Contract covering a multi-year
period, the calculation of Net Margin Earned in  the first 12 months will be agreed
between the Seller and the Buyer for the  purpose of calculating the amount set forth
under Section 2.1(a)(iii). Net  Margin Earned will be calculated by the Seller for each
of the Reinsurance  Contracts listed on Schedule I as of September 30, 2003 and as of the
applicable  Transfer Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer and the Seller may
mutually agree to alternate calculations of Net Margin Earned on an individual  contract
basis.

(b)
Annually, or at such other time intervals as the parties may  agree, the Buyer and the
Seller shall each prepare and mutually agree to a  schedule of Direct Expenses
substantially in the form of Schedule IV attached  hereto. For purposes of this schedule,
Direct Expenses shall  be expenses not already explicitly included in
the definition of Net Margin  Earned, and shall be allocated to individual Novated
Contracts or renewed  Reinsurance Contracts based on the proportion that the initial
estimate of Net  Margin Earned on each Reinsurance Contract bears to the total Net Margin
Earned  initially estimated by the Seller on all Reinsurance Contracts. Direct Expenses
will be amortized in proportion to, and over, the period that Net Margin Earned  is
earned. Expenses shall be paid or allocated as Net Margin Earned is earned  and according
to the amounts set forth under Section 2.1(a).

(c)
The Buyer shall pay to the Seller by wire transfer of  immediately available funds at the
Closing an amount equal to $2,000,000 (the  Closing Payment). From the
Closing Payment, a total of  $750,000 will be placed into escrow (the Escrow Fund)
pursuant to an Escrow Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto,  until
the earlier of (i) January 31, 2004 or (ii) the occurrence of an Employee  Termination
Provision (as defined below). The Closing Payment shall be  non-refundable, subject to
the provisions of this Section 2.1(c) (the  Non-Refundable Amount). No
quarterly payments of Margin  Payments, as set forth in Section 2.2, shall be required to
be paid to the  Seller unless and until the aggregate Margin Payments accrued to the
Seller  exceeds $2,000,000, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.1(c) (the  Trigger
Amount). An Employee Termination  Provision shall occur in
the event Vic Baillargeon and any other three  persons listed in Schedule II either (x)
choose not to accept an offer of  permanent employment extended by the Buyer under
Section 1.8, or (y) having  accepted such offer, cease or provide written notice of his
or her intention to  cease to be employed by the Buyer (or, in the case of Vic
Baillargeon, by the  Buyer or the Seller, except where he ceases to be employed by the
Seller and  later becomes employed by the Buyer) for any reason (other than termination
by  the Buyer without cause) prior to February 1, 2004. If an Employee Termination
Provision does not occur, then the entire Escrow Fund will be released and paid  to the
Seller no later than ten business days after January 31, 2004. If an  Employee
Termination Provision does occur, then the entire Escrow Fund will be  released and paid
to the Buyer no later than ten business days after January 31,  2004. Each of the
Non-Refundable Amount and the Trigger Amount shall be reduced  by $750,000 if the Escrow
Fund is paid to the Buyer as provided in the previous  sentence. For the avoidance of
doubt, in no event shall the Seller earn less  than $2,000,000 if the Employee
Termination Provision is not triggered and if  triggered, not less than $1,250,000,
excluding any amounts received from the  sale of Additional Assets, if any, as a result
of this transaction.

(d)
As consideration for any Additional Assets acquired by the  Buyer pursuant to this
Agreement, the Buyer shall pay the Seller an amount to be  agreed upon by the Buyer and
the Seller at the time of the Transfer of such  Additional Assets.

(e)
In the event the Buyer requires the use of the Sellers  premises and infrastructure
beyond December 31, 2003, the Buyer will pay the  Seller its cost of rent as set out or
calculated in the Sellers existing  lease (equal to $2.00 per square foot per
month) in respect of the period from  January 1, 2004 through March 31, 2004 based on the
amount of space utilized.  For greater certainty, (i) the Seller shall be responsible for
all costs of the  Business relating to premises and infrastructure from the Closing Date
to and  including December 31, 2003 and (ii) any space requirements beyond March 31,
2004 will be negotiated by the parties in good faith.

2.2
Payments.

(a)
Margin Payments will be calculated quarterly as of the end  of each calendar quarter by
the Buyer, in conjunction with the Seller, in  accordance with Sections 2.1 and this 2.2,
and paid and reported (such payment  and report, a Payment Statement)
in substantially the form of  Exhibit D hereto by the Buyer to the Seller on a quarterly
basis within 30 days  from the end of each calendar quarter (subject to the Buyers
set off  rights in clause (b) below). The parties agree and understand that all Margin
Payments will be paid to the Seller in respect of the calendar quarter during  which such
Margin Payments accrue to the benefit of the Seller pursuant to  Section 2.1(a).

8

---

(b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in  Section 2.1 or this Section 2.2,
if at the time of any quarterly Margin Payment  calculation, the aggregate Margin
Payments as of the most recently completed  calendar quarter are less than the aggregate
Margin Payments calculated for the  calendar quarter immediately preceding the most
recently completed calendar  quarter, the Buyer shall be entitled to (i) set off such
shortfall against  future payments to the Seller under Section 2.1 and this Section 2.2,
or (ii)  request repayment of such shortfall from the Seller to the Buyer within 30 days
of such calculation; provided, however, that such set off or repayment shall not  cause
the total consideration to be paid to the Seller pursuant to this  Agreement to be less
than the Non-Refundable Amount.

(c)
All payments pursuant to this Article II shall be paid to an  account designated by the
Seller by wire transfer of immediately available  funds.

2.3
Accounting. The Buyer shall provide the Seller and  its agents, representatives
and advisors with access during normal business  hours and on at least 48 hours prior
notice to the Buyers books, records,  workpapers and employees supporting or
relating to the calculation of the Margin  Payments (or components of such calculations).
In addition, the Buyer shall  provide to the Seller, together with each Payment
Statement, a certificate from  the Chief Financial Officer of the Buyer to the effect
that to the best of such  persons knowledge, the financial data used to calculate
such Margin  Payment is true and complete, fairly states the amount of such Margin
Payment  based on the Buyers books and records, and the calculation of such Margin
Payment has been made in accordance with this Agreement.

2.4
Disputes. Within five (5) business days of receipt by  the Buyer of a written
request therefor from the Seller or its representative,  the Seller or its
representatives shall have the right to review the work  papers, schedules, memoranda and
other documents and information prepared or  reviewed by the Buyer and to communicate
with the persons who conducted such  preparation or review in connection with each
Payment Statement. Within 30 days  after the end of each calendar quarter, the Seller
shall notify the Buyer of any  objection to the Payment Statement delivered during such
calendar quarter,  specifying in reasonable detail any such objections. If the Seller
does not  notify the Buyer of any objections within such period the Seller shall be
deemed  to have agreed to such Payment Statement as prepared by the Buyer. If the Buyer
and the Seller agree on the resolution of all such objections, such Payment  Statement
(with any such changes as may be agreed) shall be final and binding.  The Buyer and the
Seller shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve any  such objections, provided
that the Buyer and the Seller shall each have the  right, at any time, to unilaterally
terminate in writing all discussions with  respect to such objections or changes. If the
Buyer or the Seller shall have  terminated such discussions and such dispute shall remain
unresolved, then the  Seller shall have the right to submit all such disputed items for
resolution to  a certified public accounting firm of national standing (an Accounting
Firm) mutually acceptable to the Buyer and the Seller or if the Buyer  and the
Seller are unable to agree on a single Accounting Firm, each shall  select an Accounting
Firm and such Accounting Firm shall, by mutual agreement,  select a third Accounting Firm
(the Designated Accounting  Firm). The Designated Accounting Firm
shall be independent of and have  no ongoing business relationship with the Seller or the
Buyer or their  respective affiliates. The Buyer and the Seller shall use reasonable
efforts to  cause the report of the Designated Accounting Firm to be rendered within 30
days  of its appointment, and the Designated Accounting Firms determination as  to
the appropriateness and extent of changes (if any) to any such Payment  Statement shall
be final and binding. The fees and expenses of the Accounting

---

Firms shall be borne one  half by the Seller and one half by the Buyer.
After the  resolution of any dispute with  respect to a Payment Statement in accordance
with  this Section 2.4, any adjustment to  any payment shall be made by wire transfer  of
immediately available funds by the Buyer  to the Seller or the Seller to the  Buyer, as
the case may be.
