                                   ARTICLE VI

            EXTRA CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND EXCESS LIMITS LIABILITY

                  "Extra Contractual Obligations" as used in this Agreement
shall mean those liabilities not covered under any other provision of this
Agreement, including third party claims against XLCA, which arise from the
handling of any claim on business covered hereunder, such liabilities arising

faith in rejecting an offer of settlement, in the preparation of the defense, in
the trial of any action against the insured or reinsured, or in the preparation

preparation or prosecution of an appeal consequent upon such action. Excess
Limits Liability is any amount for which XLCA would have been contractually
liable to pay, as determined by XLCA in its sole discretion, had it not been for
the limits of the reinsured Policy.

Excess Limits Liability is incurred by XLCA shall be deemed, in all
circumstances, to be the date of the original loss.

enforceability of any other provision of this Article VI in that jurisdiction
nor the enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

                  In no event shall coverage be provided to the extent that such

                             REPORTS AND REMITTANCES

                  A.       As respects the Subject Business, XLFA shall furnish
to XLIB within fifty (50) days after the end of each calendar quarter:

<PAGE>

                           1.       The quarterly account of Ultimate Net Loss
         paid as of the end of the calendar quarter and on a cumulative basis
         from the effective date of this Agreement; and

                           2.       XLFA's estimate of case reserves for

quarterly report as called for above, XLIB shall pay to XLFA the positive
amount, if any, by which paid Ultimate Net Loss from the effective date of this
Agreement through the end of the calendar quarter, both dates inclusive, exceeds
the Retained Reserves, minus any Ultimate Net Loss (net of any Ultimate Net Loss
overpayments paid by XLFA) previously paid by XLIB under this Agreement. If XLIB
shall dispute the amount owing by the debtor party as set forth in the report,
the debtor party nevertheless shall pay the amount in dispute to the creditor
party as provided in this paragraph pending resolution of the dispute as
provided in this Agreement.

                  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 Business
("Policy Payment") exceeds US $500,000, XLFA shall be paid by special remittance
within five (5) business days upon receipt of a special account, which shall be
prepared by XLFA and shall contain all relevant details in connection with the
claim.

provide XLIB with a copy of XLFA's Annual Report and/or statutory Annual
Statement.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                  LOSS SETTLEMENTS AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES

                  XLCA shall be the sole judge as to what shall constitute a
claim or loss covered under the Subject Business. XLCA shall, in its sole
discretion, monitor, evaluate, negotiate, adjust, investigate, settle, defend or
compromise all claims or potential claims and all losses or potential losses,
including Extra Contractual Obligations and Excess Limits Liability. All such
negotiations, adjustments, investigations, settlements, defenses and compromises
shall be unconditionally binding on XLIB. In addition to amounts paid in
settlement of losses, XLIB shall be liable for its proportionate share of all
reasonable Loss Adjustment Expenses.

                  XLFA shall at all times use reasonable best efforts to keep
XLIB apprised of the status of any material events with respect to the Subject
Business and shall consult with XLIB as respects exercise of its rights and
obligations under the QSA in respect of any material aspect of the Subject
Business.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                               FOLLOW THE FORTUNES

                  A.       XLIB's liability shall attach simultaneously with
that of XLFA and shall be subject in all respects to the same risks, terms,
rates, conditions, interpretations, assessments, waivers, and to 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,

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

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.

                  B.       Nothing shall in any manner create any obligations or
establish any rights against XLIB in favor of any third parties or any persons
not parties to this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                     OFFSET

                  In the event of insolvency of either XLFA or XLIB, offset
shall be permitted in accordance with the terms of this Article. Subject to the
foregoing, each party hereto shall have, and may exercise at any time and from
time to time, the right to offset any balances due from such party to the other
party hereto under this Agreement or under any other agreement heretofore or
hereafter entered into by and between them, and may offset the same 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 in
which each party acted under the agreement or, if more than one, the different
agreements involved.

                                   ARTICLE XIV

                  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.

                                   ARTICLE XVI

parties may agree, provided such change, alteration, or amendment is evidenced
in writing or by endorsement executed by XLFA and XLIB.

                                ACCESS TO RECORDS

                  Provided XLIB gives at least fifteen (15) days prior written
notice, it or its designated representatives, provided such representatives are
reasonably acceptable to XLFA, shall have the right to inspect at any reasonable
time, in the office of XLFA where the files are located, all records of XLFA
that pertain in any way to this Agreement; XLIB's right of inspection shall
survive expiration or cancellation of this Agreement, so long as any claim or
premium matters remain outstanding.

                  All non-public information provided in the course of the
inspection shall be kept confidential by XLIB as against third parties, except
as respects any obligation to do so by law or contract.

                                   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 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

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

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.

                              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") by XL Capital or one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries;

                  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

                  WHEREAS, XLCA will value the Note and Preferred Stock as of

including without limitation loss adjustment expenses, pertaining to the Policy,

                  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:

<PAGE>

                  (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

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

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 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).

                  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.
