THIS AGREEMENT is made on November 1, 2002

BETWEEN:

(1) ST. XXXX REINSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED (registered number 01460363) of
The St. Xxxx Xxxxx, 00 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx X0 0XX ("ST. XXXX RE
UK"); and

(2) PLATINUM RE (UK) LIMITED (registered number 4413755) of The St. Xxxx
Xxxxx, 00 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx X0 0XX ("PLATINUM RE UK"),

(each a "PARTY" and together the "PARTIES").

WHEREAS:

A. The St. Xxxx Companies, Inc. ("THE ST. XXXX") and Platinum Underwriters
Holdings, Ltd. ("PLATINUM HOLDINGS") entered into a Formation and
Separation Agreement dated 28th October, 2002 (as such agreement may be
amended from time to time) (the "FORMATION AGREEMENT") setting forth
certain terms governing The St. Paul's sponsorship of the organisation
of Platinum Holdings and its subsidiaries, actions to be taken in
respect of Platinum Holdings' initial public offering (the "PUBLIC
OFFERING") of its common 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, St. Xxxx Management Limited and
Platinum Re UK would enter into an agreement (the "Business Transfer
Agreement") under which St. Xxxx Re UK would transfer certain assets
associated with its reinsurance activities to Platinum Re UK with the
intention that Platinum Re UK shall carry on that business or part
thereof transferred in succession to St. Xxxx Re UK as a going concern.

C. Pursuant to the Formation Agreement, The St. Xxxx and Platinum Holdings
agreed to procure (inter alia) that St. Xxxx Re UK and Platinum Re UK
would enter into certain underwriting agency and underwriting
management arrangements under which Platinum Re UK would act as
underwriting agent of and/or perform certain underwriting functions on
behalf of St. Xxxx Re UK.

D. As part of the foregoing, the Parties have agreed to certain interim
arrangements which, following completion of the Public Offering, will
apply until the first anniversary of the completion of the Public
Offering. Pursuant to three quota share retrocession agreements of even
date between St. Xxxx Re UK and Platinum Underwriters Reinsurance Inc.,
a company licensed to carry on insurance and reinsurance business in
the United States of America, St. Xxxx Re UK has reinsured certain
reinsurance business written or renewed by it on or after 1st January,
2002 to Platinum Underwriters Reinsurance Inc., as more particularly
set out in those quota share retrocession agreements. Pursuant to
further quota share retrocession agreements between St. Xxxx Re UK and
Platinum Re UK to become effective immediately following receipt by

Platinum Re UK of authorisation to carry on reinsurance business in the
United Kingdom, St. Xxxx Re UK will reinsure to Platinum Re UK certain
reinsurance business written or renewed by St. Xxxx Re UK after receipt
by Platinum Re UK of such authorisation, as more particularly set out
in those quota share retrocession agreements. The Parties have also
agreed that until the first anniversary of the completion of the Public
Offering, Platinum Re UK shall act as the agent of St. Xxxx Re UK in
relation to the 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
with the regulatory requirements to which the Parties are respectively
subject from time to time.
