     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and of the mutual
promises set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties
agree as follows:

     1.    SERVICES.

           (a) Subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations of this
Agreement, the party providing a service hereunder ("Service Provider") will
perform for the party requesting a service hereunder ("Company") such of the
Services described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference, as the Company may from time to time request.

           (b) The Service Provider shall employ all operating and management
personnel necessary to provide the Services required by this Agreement. The
Service Provider shall also maintain such facilities and equipment, as it deems
reasonably necessary in order to provide the Services required by the Agreement.
Subject to the terms (including any limitations and restrictions) of any
applicable software or hardware licensing agreement then in effect between the
Service Provider and any licensor, the Service Provider shall, upon termination
of this

                                        1
<Page>

Agreement, grant to the Company a perpetual license, without payment of
any fee, in any electronic data processing software developed or used by the
Service Provider in connection with the Services provided to the Company, if
such software is not commercially available and is necessary, in the Company's
reasonable judgment, for the Company to perform the functions provided by the
Service Provider hereunder after termination of this Agreement.

           (c) The parties agree that all documents, reports, records, books,
files and other materials relative to the Services performed for the Company
under this Agreement shall be the sole property of the Company. The Service
Provider shall keep and maintain or cause to be kept and maintained full and
complete documentation and records related to the Services provided including
the accounting necessary to support charges for Services. The Service Provider
shall maintain custody of said documentation and records and shall make them
available to the Company and the appropriate insurance regulator of the Company
upon request.

     2.    CHARGES FOR SERVICES.

           (a) It is the intention of the parties that the charges for the
Services provided under this Agreement be determined in accordance with fair and
reasonable standards and that no party realize a profit nor incur a loss as a
result of the Services rendered pursuant to this Agreement.

           (b) The Company agrees to reimburse the Service Provider for all
direct costs incurred on behalf of the Company and for all indirect costs, which
may be charged to the Company as follows:

               (i)  "Direct Costs" include costs incurred by the Service
Provider for Services provided directly to the Company, including but not
limited to: (a) All costs incident to any employee or employees who are employed
in rendering Services to the Company, such as salary, payroll taxes, and
benefits and (b) the cost of other reasonable and necessary business expenses
incurred by employees who are employed in rendering Services to the Company such
as training, travel and lodging. Direct Costs shall be charged in accordance
with reasonable functional cost studies and/or other information and
methodologies used by the Service Provider for internal cost distribution
including, where appropriate, an analysis of time spent by each employee
providing Services to the Company and/or the percentage of administrative
systems utilized. Data for this analysis will be collected through tracking of
unit costs of Services, through time studies conducted periodically, or through
other methods consistent with customary insurance accounting practices
consistently applied. Annually, the bases for determining direct costs shall be
modified and adjusted by mutual agreement of the Service Provider and the
Company, where necessary or appropriate, to fairly and equitably reflect the
actual cost incurred by the Service Provider on behalf of the Company.

               (ii) "Indirect Costs" include all other costs incurred by the
Service Provider in rendering Services to the Company, including but not
limited to the cost of rent or depreciation of office space, utilities,
office equipment, and supplies utilized by employees who are employed in
rendering Services to the Company. Indirect costs shall be charged to the
Company based on the proportion of total direct costs chargeable to the
Company under subparagraph (i), herein. In other words, if the direct costs
chargeable to the Company represents 20% of the Service

                                        2
<Page>

Provider's total direct costs, then 20% of the Service Provider's indirect
costs will be charged to the Company.

           (c) The charges for Direct Costs and Indirect Costs referred to above
shall be made by the Service Provider on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis as
appropriate for the particular Service. Charges paid by any party to the Service
Provider may be net of charges for Direct and Indirect Costs charged by such
party as Service Provider to the other party.

           (d) In the event the Service Provider or the Company should discover
upon review of its accounting by its internal auditors, independent auditor, any
state insurance department, or other regulatory agency, that an amount charged
for Services provided hereunder was erroneous, the party discovering the error
will give prompt notice of such error to the affected party under this
Agreement. Such notice shall contain a description of the accounting error,
corrective action and supporting documentation. Any amounts owing, as a result
of the correction shall be paid within sixty (60) days after notice has been
given.

           (e) The Company stall have the right to inspect and audit, upon
reasonable notice to the Service Provider, all books and records of the Service
Provider related to the provision of the Services so as to verify the accuracy
of all expenses reimbursed under this Agreement.

     3.    TERM.

           This Agreement shall be effective on the first day of January, 2001,
and shall end on the 31st day of December, 2001. This Agreement shall be

twelve-month period under the same terms and conditions, subject to the
provisions for termination set forth herein.

     4.    TERMINATION.

           This Agreement may be terminated by the Service Provider or by the
Company by providing thirty (30) days' written notice to that effect addressed
to the other party. Any Services provided following the date of termination
which, by their nature, continue after termination shall be provided under the
same terms and conditions which prevailed at the time of such notice.

     5.    STANDARD OF SERVICE.

           The Service Provider shall perform the Services in a competent and
professional manner according to standards agreed upon by the Service Provider
and the Company. The Service Provider agrees that it will exercise due diligence
to abide by and comply with all laws, statutes, rules, regulations, and orders
of any governmental authority in the performance of its Services under this
Agreement. The Service Provider will conduct its business and perform its
obligations in a manner which will not cause the possible revocation or
suspension of the Company's Certificate(s) of Authority or cause the Company to
sustain any fines, penalties, or other disciplinary action of any nature
whatsoever.

     6.    LIMITATION OF AUTHORITY.

           The Company shall retain ultimate control and responsibility for all
Services that it has delegated to the Service Provider under this Agreement. In
no event shall the Services involve control of the management of the business
and affairs of the Company. The Service Provider shall provide Services
hereunder as an independent contractor, and shall act hereunder so as to assure

employees shall not at any time or for any purpose be considered agents of the

Services hereunder, or out of any action taken by the Service Provider beyond
the scope of the Service Provider's duties or authority hereunder. The
provisions of this section shall survive termination of this Agreement.
