               C.           Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the option and upon the demand of XLFA, when the amount due in the aggregate as a result of any payment(s) on a claim under the policies relating to the Subject

the same modification, alterations and cancellations as the policies, the true intent of this Agreement being that XLIB shall, in every case to which this Agreement applies, follow the underwriting fortunes of XLFA and XLIB shall be bound, without
limitation, by any payments and settlements entered into by XLFA in good faith.

against any balance or balances due or to become due to the former from the latter under the same or any other agreement between them; and the party asserting the right of offset shall have and may exercise such right and regardless of the capacity

  ARTICLE XV 

  DELAYS, ERRORS, AND OMISSIONS

               Any inadvertent delay, error, or omission made in connection with this Agreement or any transaction hereunder shall not relieve either party from any liability that would have attached had such delay,
error, or omission not occurred, provided that any error or omission is rectified as soon as reasonably practical.

-11-

shall survive expiration or cancellation of this Agreement,
so long as any claim or premium matters remain outstanding.

  RESERVES AND FUNDING

  

  [RESERVED]

  

  

  ARTICLE XIX

  INSOLVENCY 

               In the event of the insolvency of XLFA and the appointment of a liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor, reinsurance due under this Agreement shall be payable with reasonable
provision for verification, on the basis of the liability of XLFA resulting from claims allowed against XLFA by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor having authority to allow such
claims without diminution because of such insolvency or because such liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor has failed to pay all or a portion of any claims. 

               Payments by XLIB as set forth above shall be made directly and exclusively to XLFA or to its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor except (a) where this Agreement specifies another
payee in the event of the insolvency, or (b) XLIB, with the consent

-12-

of the direct insureds, has assumed such policy obligations of XLFA as direct obligations to the payees under such policies in substitution for the obligations of XLFA to such payees. 

               In the event of the insolvency of XLFA, the liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor shall give written notice of the pendency of a claim against XLFA under policies reinsured within a
reasonable time after such claim is filed in the insolvency proceeding. During the pendency of such claim, XLIB has the right but not the duty to investigate said claim and interpose in the proceeding where the claim is to be adjudicated, at its own
expense, any defense or defenses that it may deem available to XLFA, or its liquidator, receiver, conservator or statutory successor. The expense thus incurred by XLIB will be chargeable against XLFA, subject to court approval, as part of the
expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit which may accrue to XLFA solely as a result of the defense undertaken by XLIB. Should XLFA go into liquidation or should a receiver be appointed, XLIB will be entitled to
exercise any offset rights specifically provided by this Agreement and to offset any other sums permitted under applicable law. 

  ARTICLE XX 

  ARBITRATION

               Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any alleged breach thereof, shall be determined by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the Bermuda International Arbitration
and Conciliation Act 1992. The award of the arbitrator shall be final, binding and non-appealable, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All parties to any arbitration pursuant
to this clause shall bear their own costs (but not the costs of any other party) unless the arbitrator shall otherwise decide.

a Delaware corporation (“XL America”). 

  W I T N E S S E T H:

               WHEREAS, XLCA and XL America are both indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of XL Capital Ltd, a Cayman Islands corporation (“XL Capital”); 

               WHEREAS, the stock of XLCA will be transferred to a newly-formed holding company which will become the subject of an initial public offering (“IPO”) to be effective on August 4, 2006 (the “IPO Date ”) by XL Capital or one of its wholly-owned

               WHEREAS, XLCA issued a Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy (the “Policy”), effective [ * ] (the “Note”); 

               WHEREAS, in connection with the satisfaction of a claim under the Policy, XLCA acquired the Note that XLCA had insured; 

               WHEREAS, the Note was secured by a pool of loans made to medical providers;

               WHEREAS, the Note was partially paid down with a non-cash distribution of the loans made to one of the medical providers, [ * ];

               WHEREAS, pursuant to the [ * ], [ * ] loans were extinguished and XLCA received [ * ] (such stock, including any other instruments issued or to be issued in exchange for any thereof in connection with
further reorganizations of [ * ], “Preferred Stock”); 

               WHEREAS, XLCA will value the Note and Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2006 (“Valuation Date”) by a valuation to be done no later than the closing date of the IPO (the Guaranteed Carried

(ii) certain potential liabilities under the Policy, and (iii) existing or future litigation, including without limitation loss adjustment expenses, pertaining to the Policy, the Note and/or Preferred Stock. 

               NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

               1.           Indemnification Against Diminution in Value. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein:

	     	          (a)         XL
          America hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless XLCA, its subsidiaries,
          affiliates, successors and assigns from and against any diminution
          in the value of the Note and/or the Preferred Stock below their respective
          Guaranteed Carried Values as may be determined to have occurred after
          Valuation Date pursuant to a written valuation done as of the end of
          the relevant calendar quarter and notified to XL America in writing.
          The valuation shall be conducted by XLCA in connection with preparation
          of its quarterly financial statements in its reasonable discretion
          in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently
          applied and, where applicable, based upon information from its professional
          advisors) 

                (b)         XL
            America agrees, no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of a
          written demand after the close of any quarter, to be accompanied by
          a copy of the written valuation, to pay to XLCA the amounts of any
          net diminutions from the prior quarter in the estimated values of the
          Note and/or the Preferred Stock (the “Interim Carried Value”)
          to the extent such quarter’s Interim Carried Value is less than
          the least of the Guaranteed Carried Value or any prior quarter’s
          Interim Carried Value. 

                 (c)         In
          the event of appreciation in the Interim Carried Value of the Note
          and/or Preferred Stock subsequent to any payment pursuant to clause
          (b) above, XLCA will not be obligated to return any amount previously
          received from XL America pursuant to such clause (b) unless and until
          thirty (30) days after XLCA or any affiliate thereof receives cash
          or other readily marketable consideration (the amount of which shall
          be the “Sale Amount”) for the conveyance of the Note and/or
          the Preferred Stock, as the case may be, to an unaffiliated person
          and then XLCA will refund amounts previously received from XL America
          pursuant to such clause (b) only to the extent of the lesser of (i)
          the aggregate of the amounts paid in respect of diminution in Interim
          Carried Value by XL America to XLCA under clause (b), or (ii) the amount
          by which the Sale Amount received by XLCA exceeds the difference between
          the Guaranteed Carried Value and aggregate of the amounts paid in respect
          of diminution of value thereof by XL America to XLCA under clause (b).
          XLCA also shall pay XL America interest on any such amount at the simple
          annual interest rate of 5% running from the date of the payment being
          refunded (allocating the payments under clause (b) to the refund on
          a LIFO basis). 

                 (d)         If
          upon the conveyance of the Note and/or the Preferred Stock, as the
          case may be, to an unaffiliated person (i) the Sale Amount XLCA receives
          is less than (ii) the lowest Interim Carried Value for any prior quarter,
          XL America shall no later than thirty (30) days after demand pay XLCA
    the difference between (i) and (ii), without interest.

               2.           Indemnification Against Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, XL America
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless XLCA, its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns and their respective officers, directors and agents

from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs, penalties, fines, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and any and all expenses reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending any action, suit or proceeding, commenced or threatened and for consultants and advisors regarding preservation of value of the Note and/or Preferred Stock, collectively, “Loss Adjustment Expenses”) of
any kind and nature incurred after the date hereof (collectively, “Losses”) which relate to or arise out of any past, existing and/or future claim, action, suit or proceeding (i) arising under, out of or relating to the Policy, including,
without limitation, any recovery from any holder of the Note of any payment made pursuant thereto on the basis that such payment constituted an avoidable preference, and/or (ii) which relates to the Note and/or Preferred Stock, including, in each
case, without limitation, [ * ] (“Delaware Proceeding”); provided, however, such indemnity shall not apply to Loss
Adjustment Expenses except to the extent that such Loss Adjustment Expenses exceed the amount of XLCA’s reserve in respect thereof at the Valuation Date (in the amount of $[ * ]). 

               3.           Indemnification Procedure as Respects Liabilities. 

	     	          (a)         XL
          America shall pay to XLCA within thirty days upon demand, which demand
          shall itemize the Losses for which indemnity is claimed, any and all
          Losses paid by XLCA. If XL America shall dispute the amount owing by
          it as set forth in the demand, XL America shall nevertheless pay the
          amount in dispute to XLCA pending resolution of the dispute as provided
          in this Agreement.

                 (b)         Promptly
          after receipt by XLCA of notice of any complaint or the commencement
          of any action or proceeding with respect to which indemnification may
          be sought hereunder, XLCA will notify XL America of such complaint
          or of the commencement of such action or proceeding. XL America may,
          at its discretion, assume the defense of any such action or proceeding
          (including, without limitation, the Delaware Proceeding), including
          the employment of counsel and the payment of the fees and disbursements
          of such counsel. In the event, however, that (i) XL America elects
          not to assume the defense of the action or proceeding in a timely manner
          or (ii) the nature of any claim presents a conflict of interest between
          XLCA and XL America, then XLCA may assume and control its own defense,
          and XL America shall be liable for all reasonable costs and expenses
          paid or incurred by XLCA in connection therewith, and XLCA shall provide
          XL America with appropriate written documentation of such costs and
          expenses. In any action or proceeding with respect to which indemnification
          may be sought hereunder, XLCA or XL America, whichever is not assuming
          the defense of such action, as the case may be, will have the right
          to participate in such litigation and to retain its own counsel at
          such party’s own expense. XLCA or XL America, as the case may
          be, shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep XL America or
          XLCA, as the case may be, reasonably apprised of the status of the
          defense of any claim the defense of which they are maintaining. 

                 (c)         XLCA
          may not settle or compromise any claim with respect to which indemnification
          is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of XL America,
          which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. XL America may not,
          without the prior written consent of XLCA, settle or compromise or
          consent to the entry of any judgment in any claim with respect to which
    indemnification is being sought 

-3- 

	     	hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent
        includes an unconditional release of XLCA from all liability arising
    out of such claim. 

               4.           Non-Inuring Reinsurance. It is agreed that the reinsurance provided by XL
Financial Assurance Ltd. is not inuring (beyond the amount of any reduction to
XLCA’s Loss Adjustment Expense net reserve at the Valuation Date) , and XLCA shall be indemnified hereunder on a gross basis and not just in
respect of its net retained interest (net of any reduction to XLCA’s Loss
Adjustment Expense reserve at the Valuation Date). 

               5.           Representations and Warranties of XL America. XL America hereby represents and warrants to XLCA that this
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by XL America and is the legal, valid and binding agreement of XL America, enforceable against XL America in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether in equity or at law). 

               6.           Representations and Warranties of XLCA. XLCA hereby represents and warrants to XL America that this
Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by XLCA, and is the legal, valid and binding agreement of XLCA, enforceable against XLCA in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether in equity or at law). 

               7.           Notices. Unless specified otherwise in this Agreement, all requests, notices or other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made upon receipt) by delivery in person, by courier service, telecopy, or electronic transmission, if sent via facsimile (with confirmation of
receipt without error), to the respective Parties at the following addresses:

               8.           Miscellaneous. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall confer upon anyone other than the parties
hereto any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim. This 

-4-

Agreement shall be governed by, and its provisions construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be wholly performed within such state and may be modified only in writing
signed by each of the parties hereto. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Paragraph headings
contained in this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any term or provision hereof. 

               9.           Arbitration

	 	 
	     	          (a)         Any
          dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including
          its formation and validity, shall be referred to arbitration. Arbitration
          shall be initiated by the delivery, by mail, facsimile, or other reliable
          means, of a written demand for arbitration by one party to the other.
          The arbitration shall be held in New York or such other place as the
          parties may mutually agree. 

                 (b)         Arbitration
          shall be conducted before a three-person Arbitration Panel appointed
          as follows. Each party shall appoint one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators
          so appointed shall then appoint an impartial Umpire before proceeding.
          If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days
          after it receives a written request by the other party to do so, the
          other party may appoint an arbitrator for it. Should the two party-appointed
          arbitrators fail to choose an Umpire within thirty (30) days of the
          appointment of the second arbitrator, each arbitrator shall propose
          three names, of whom the other shall strike two, and the decision shall
          be made from the remaining two by drawing lots. The arbitrators and
          Umpire shall be present or former executives or officers of insurance
          or reinsurance companies or shall be arbitrators certified by ARIAS-U.S.
          The arbitrators and Umpire shall not be under the control of either
          party, and shall have no financial interest in the outcome of the arbitration. 

                 (c)         The
          decision of a majority of the Arbitration Panel shall be final and
          binding, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Federal Arbitration
          Act. The Arbitration Panel shall render its award in writing. Judgment
          upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, pursuant
          to the Federal Arbitration Act. Unless the Arbitration Panel orders
          otherwise, each party shall pay: (1) the fees and expenses of its own
          arbitrator, and (2) an equal share of the fees and expenses of the
    Umpire and of the other expenses of the arbitration. 

               10.         Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to
any person or  circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality
or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof.

               IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first above written.
