     Trident II, L.P. (“Trident II”) is the direct beneficial owner of 7,883,637 common shares of the Company (“common shares”) and warrants to purchase 16,918,312 common shares. The warrants are currently exercisable at the price of $12.50 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with applicable anti-dilution provisions contained therein, and expire on November 20, 2011.
     The sole general partner of Trident II is Trident Capital II, L.P. (“Trident GP”).

In its role as manager, Stone Point has delegated authority to exercise voting rights of common shares on behalf of Trident II but does not have any power with respect to disposition of common shares held by Trident II. For any portfolio investment where Trident II controls 10% or more of the voting power of such portfolio company, Stone Point does not have discretion to exercise voting rights on behalf of Trident II without first receiving direction from the Investment Committee of Trident GP or a majority of the general partners of Trident GP.
     The general partners of Trident GP are four single member limited liability companies that are owned by individuals who are members of Stone Point (Messrs. Davis, Carey and Wermuth and Ms. Hartzband).

Stone Point also has disclaimed beneficial ownership of the common shares and warrants that are, or may be deemed to be, beneficially owned by Trident II. This report shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of such securities for any purpose.
     Marsh & McLennan Capital Professionals Fund, L.P. (“Trident PF”) and Marsh & McLennan Employees’ Securities Company, L.P. (“Trident ESC”) have agreed with Trident II that (i) Trident ESC will divest its holdings in the Company only in parallel with Trident II, (ii) Trident PF will not dispose of its holdings in the Company before Trident II disposes of its interest, and (iii) to the extent that Trident PF elects to divest of its interest in the Company at the same time as Trident II, Trident PF will divest its holdings in the Company in parallel with Trident II. As a result of this agreement, Trident II may be deemed to beneficially own 442,632 common shares directly held by Trident PF and Trident ESC and warrants to purchase 949,792 common shares held by Trident PF and Trident ESC, and Trident PF and Trident ESC may be deemed to be beneficially own 7,883,637 common shares directly held by Trident II and warrants to purchase 16,918,312 common shares held by Trident II. The warrants are currently exercisable at the price of $12.50 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with applicable anti-dilution provisions contained therein, and expire on November 20, 2011.
