The registration fee of $430,138.77 due in connection with such offerings was offset by the registration fee of $324,727.20 that was paid by the registrants on November 30, 2005 and by $105,411.57 of the previously paid registration fee of $124,672.80 associated with the unsold securities referred to above pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act. With respect to any additional of amounts of XL Capital Ltd Ordinary Shares and XL Capital Ltd Ordinary Share Purchase Units and all other securities that may be offered and sold under this registration statement, the registrants have elected to rely on Rule 456(b) and Rule 457(r) under the Securities Act to defer all of the registration fee with respect to such securities. |

No separate consideration will be received for the Ordinary Share Purchase Contracts or the related beneficial interests. |
