basis), respectively. Each of the Capital Z Reporting Persons has the shared
power to vote or direct the vote, and to dispose or to direct the disposition,
of such shares. Such shares represent, in the aggregate, approximately 22.3% of
the outstanding total Common Shares. Due to voting limitations set forth in the
Bye-laws of the Company which will affect the voting power of shares held by the

disposition, of such shares. Such shares represent, in the aggregate,
approximately 15.6% of the outstanding total Common Shares. Due to voting
limitations set forth in the Bye-laws of the Company, the shares held by the
Reservoir Reporting Persons will represent, in the aggregate, approximately 9.9%
of the total voting power of the Common Shares.

Agreement are consummated, be deemed to beneficially own 1,593,371 Common Shares

Shares during the past 60 days.

                                       14

           Share Purchase Agreement

           The following description of the Share Purchase Agreement is a
summary thereof and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Share Purchase Agreement (which is attached as
Exhibit 1 hereto and incorporated by reference).

           Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell
to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Company, a
total of 15,000 Preferred Shares for a price of $10,000 per share and an
aggregate purchase price of $150,000,000.

           The sale and purchase of the Preferred Shares (the "Closing") will
take place upon the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Share
Purchase Agreement, including the obtaining of approvals from the Connecticut
Department of Insurance and the Bermuda Monetary Authority.

           Under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company is
obligated to seek and obtain appropriate stockholder approval by the holders of
the Company's Common Shares, at a meeting of its stockholders, including
approval of (i) the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Convertible Common
Shares issuable upon conversion thereof, (ii) the creation of Convertible Common
Shares, (iii) an increase in the size of the Board of Directors from nine
members to eleven members and (iv) the establishment of Class IV Directors.
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company
shall recommend such approval, and the Company shall solicit such approval.

           In the event that the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase
Agreement are not consummated as a result of a breach by the Company of certain
of its obligations thereunder, a failure to obtain shareholder approval of the
transactions or acceptance by the Board of Directors of the Company of an
unsolicited proposal by a third party, then the Company is obligated to pay to
the Purchasers a termination fee of $7,000,000.

           Description of Stock

           The following description of the Description of Stock (the
"Description of Stock") is a summary thereof and does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Description of Stock (which
is attached as Exhibit 2 hereto and incorporated by reference).

           The Preferred Shares shall, with respect to dividend rights and
rights upon a Liquidation Event (as defined below), rank prior to any other
class or series of capital or preferred stock already established or that may be
established by the Board of Directors of the Company and shall rank pari passu
with each other.

           The holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive
quarterly dividends with respect to each Preferred Share equal to eight percent
(8%) per annum, payable for the first three years in additional Preferred
Shares. In the event that such payment in Preferred Shares would result in the
Purchasers and their affiliates owning more than 49.9% of the capital stock of
the Company on a fully diluted basis, then the Company, at its option, may pay
such dividends in cash. After the third anniversary of the Closing, dividends
are payable in cash.

           The Preferred Shares shall be convertible, at the option of the
holder, into shares of Convertible Common Stock at any time ("Optional
Conversion"). Upon the third anniversary of the Closing, if not previously
converted by the holders thereof, 10,000 Preferred Shares will be converted
("First Mandatory Conversion") to Class A Common Shares, Class B Common Shares
or Class C Common Shares (the "Convertible Common Shares"). Upon the sixth
anniversary of the Closing, all remaining Preferred Shares will be converted
into Convertible Common Shares ("Second Mandatory Conversion", and together with
the First Mandatory Conversion the "Mandatory Conversion"). The Convertible
Common Shares will be converted to Common Shares upon transfer of such shares by
the Purchasers to non-affiliated third parties.


                                       15

           Upon the First Mandatory Conversion, the Preferred Shares subject to
conversion will be convertible into the number of fully paid and non-assessable
Convertible Common Shares determined by dividing the Liquidation Preference (as
defined below) by the Current Conversion Price (as defined in the Description of
Stock), if the Current Conversion Price is equal to or less than the Fair Market
Value (as defined in the Description of Stock) of the Common Shares as of the
Conversion Date (the "Conversion Date FMV"). If the Conversion Date FMV is
greater than the Current Conversion Price, the Current Conversion Price used in
the quotient above will be adjusted to equal the sum of (x) the product obtained
by multiplying the Conversion Date FMV by 0.8 plus (y) the product obtained by
multiplying the Current Conversion Price as of the Conversion Date by 0.2. Upon
any Second Mandatory Conversion, the remaining Preferred Shares will be
convertible into the number of fully paid and non-assessable Convertible Common
Shares determined by dividing the Liquidation Preference by the Current
Conversion Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if upon any Optional Conversion
or Mandatory Conversion the Purchasers and their affiliates would, in the
aggregate, own more than 49.9% of the capital stock of the Company on a fully
diluted basis, the Company may, at its option, to the extent necessary to
prevent the Purchasers from owning more than 49.9% of the capital stock on a
fully diluted basis, make a cash payment in lieu of a payment of Convertible
Common Shares equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares into which
such Convertible Common Shares would be converted. Together with such payment,
the Company must make an additional payment to cover certain taxes incurred by
the Purchasers as result of receiving such cash payment.

           The Preferred Shares are originally convertible at a Conversion Price
of $15.69 (the "Conversion Price"). The Conversion Price is subject to weighted
average anti-dilution protection if the Company issues capital stock at less
than Fair Market Value.

           Other than with respect to the election of directors (described
below), the holder of each Preferred Share shall have the right to one vote for
each Common Share into which such Preferred Shares could then be converted, and
with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers
equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Shares, and shall
be entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Shares, with respect to any
question upon which holders of Common Shares have the right to vote; provided
that the Purchasers and their affiliates are subject pursuant to application of
Bye-Law 20(4) of the Company to a voting limitation of 49.9% of the aggregate
voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company; provided further
that the Capital Z Reporting Persons and their affiliates shall not be subject
to the 9.9% voting limitation set forth in the Bye-laws of the Company.

           In addition, the consent of the Preferred Shares is required for
certain actions by the Company. The consent of a majority of each series of
Preferred Shares, voting separately, is required for any actions that would have
certain adverse effects on such series of Preferred Shares or the related
Convertible Common Shares. In addition, (i) if the Purchasers and their
affiliates shall own 40% of the Preferred Shares (including the related
Convertible Common Shares and Common Shares underlying such Convertible Common
Shares) purchased by them, then the consent of a majority of each series of
Preferred Shares and related Convertible Common Shares, voting together as a
separate class, or (ii) if the Purchasers and their affiliates shall own less
than 40% of the Preferred Shares (including the related Convertible Common
Shares and Common Shares underlying such Convertible Common Shares) purchased by
them, but with respect to any series of Preferred Shares, a majority of such
series of Preferred Shares (including the related Convertible Common Shares and
Common Shares underlying such Convertible Common Shares) shall be held by the
original Purchasers and their affiliates, then the consent of a majority of such
series of Preferred Shares and the related Convertible Common Shares, voting
together as a separate class, and shall be required for, among other things, the
following actions by the Company: (i) certain redemption offers to purchase,
tender offers or other acquisitions of the Company's capital stock; (ii) certain
sales of the Company; (iii) transfer of incurrence of certain indebtedness; and
(iv) payment of certain dividends.

           Holders of Preferred Shares and Convertible Common Shares shall vote
together, separate from holders of Common Shares, with respect to the election
of directors, and shall be entitled to vote for Class IV Directors (as defined
in the Description of Stock) as follows: (i) so long as Reservoir Partners and
Reservoir Master Fund and their affiliates and limited partners own at least 30%
of the series of Preferred Shares (including the related Convertible Common
Shares) purchased by them under the Purchase Agreement, one director will be


                                       16

elected by the vote of a majority of such series of Preferred Shares and the
related Convertible Common Shares, voting together as a single class; (ii) so
long as Capital Z Fund II and Capital Z Private Fund II and their affiliates and
limited partners own at least 50% of the series of Preferred Shares (including
the related Convertible Common Shares) purchased by them under the Purchase
Agreement, two directors will be elected by the vote of a majority of such
series Preferred Shares and the related Convertible Common Shares, voting
together as a single class; (iii) so long as Capital Z Fund II and Capital Z
Private Fund II and their affiliates and limited partners own at least 20% but
less than 50% of the series of Preferred Shares (including the related
Convertible Common Shares) purchased by them under the Purchase Agreement, one
director will be elected by the vote of a majority of such series of Preferred
Shares and the related Convertible Common Shares, voting together as a single
class; and (iv) so long as Rainwater and his affiliates shall own at least 60%
of the series of Preferred Shares (including the related Convertible Common
Shares) purchased by him under the Purchase Agreement, one director will be
elected by a vote of the majority of such series of Preferred Shares and related
Convertible Common Shares, voting together as a single class.

           In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
Company (each a "Liquidation Event"), the holders of Preferred Shares shall be
entitled to receive for each outstanding Preferred Share, in preference to the
holders of any junior security, an amount equal to the sum of (x) $10,000 and
(y) any accrued and unpaid dividends (the "Liquidation Preference").

           Investment Agreement

           The following description of the Investment Agreement is a summary
thereof and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Investment Agreement (which is attached as Exhibit 3 hereto and
incorporated by reference).

           Upon the Closing, the Company and the Purchasers shall enter into the
Investment Agreement. Under the Investment Agreement, the Purchasers, their
affiliates and any persons or entities acquiring Preferred Shares or Convertible
Common Shares will be prevented from (i) acquiring any material asset of the
Company or (ii) acquiring additional Common Shares, except upon conversion of
the Convertible Common Shares. For a period of five years following the Closing,
the Purchasers, their affiliates and any persons or entities acquiring Preferred
Shares or Convertible Common Shares will be prevented from (i) selling short or
engaging in hedging transactions (except for Allowed Hedging Transactions (as
defined in the Investment Agreement) with respect to any capital stock of the
Company or (ii) directly or indirectly initiate any proxy contest that seeks
control of the Company.

           Following the first anniversary of the Closing, the Purchasers (and
the other persons and entities that become party to the Investment Agreement)
will have certain registration rights with respect to the Common Shares
underlying the Preferred Shares.
