shares and the ongoing relationships between The St. Xxxx and its
subsidiaries and Platinum Holdings and its subsidiaries after the effective
date of the Public Offering (the "CLOSING DATE").
B. Pursuant to the Formation Agreement, The St. Xxxx and Platinum Holdings
agreed to procure that St. Xxxx Re UK and Platinum Re UK would enter into
an agreement (the "Business Transfer Agreement") under which St. Xxxx Re UK

writing and renewal of reinsurance business on behalf of St. Xxxx Re UK (on
the terms and conditions set out below).
E. The Parties wish to provide, subject to and upon Platinum Re UK becoming
authorised to write insurance business in the United Kingdom, for certain
specific reinsurance business as specified in Schedule C which is currently
written by St. Xxxx Re UK to continue to be so written by St. Xxxx Re UK
under the management of Platinum Re UK and on the basis that the same is
the subject of a 100% quota share reinsurance in favour of Platinum Re UK
or Platinum Underwriters Reinsurance Inc..
F. The Parties have agreed that the performance of their respective
obligations hereunder shall be conducted in a manner that is consistent
