(1)  The reporting persons to whom the information set forth on this line
     relates are David A. Tepper ("Mr. Tepper"), Appaloosa Partners Inc.
     ("API") and Appaloosa Management L.P. (the "Manager"). Mr. Tepper is
     the sole stockholder of API. API is the general partner of, and Mr.
     Tepper owns a majority of the limited partnership interests of, the
     Manager. The Manager is the general partner of Appaloosa Investment
     Limited Partnership I, a Delaware limited partnership ("AILP"), and
     acts as an investment advisor to Palomino Fund Ltd., a British Virgin
     Islands corporation ("Palomino" and, together with AILP, the
     "Purchasers"). Pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan")
     entered into in connection with the bankruptcy case of Conseco, Inc.
     (the "Company") under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code,
     on or about September 10, 2003, the Company distributed 11,455,493
     shares of its common stock to AILP and 10,036,788 shares of its common
     stock to Palomino on account of various claims held by the Purchasers
     against the Company in that bankruptcy case. The share information set
     forth in Table I and this footnote (1) is based on information
     provided to the reporting persons by the Company as of the date hereof
     and is subject to correction in the event that new or different
     information is so provided.

(2)  The reporting persons to whom the information set forth on this line
     relates are Mr. Tepper, API and the Manager. Footnote (1) describes
     the relationships among the reporting persons.

     $2,665,000 in face amount of the Company's 6.80% notes due 2005, (ii)
     $11,193,000 in face amount of the Company's 8.75% notes due 2004 and
     (iii) $3,997,500 in face amount of the Company's 9.00% notes due 2008
     (collectively, the "Reference Assets"). As a result of the Plan, the

     common stock, (ii) 312,650 shares of common stock and (iii) 187,392
     shares of common stock (collectively, the "New Assets"). If the number
     obtained by subtracting (x) the initial price of the Reference Assets
     (as set forth in the agreement) from (y) the value of the New Assets
     on November 6, 2003 is a positive number, the counterparty will pay to
     AILP an amount equal to such excess. If such number is a negative
     number, AILP will pay to the counterparty an amount equal to the
     absolute value of such negative number. The agreement provides that
     (i) the counterparty will pay to AILP an amount equal to all
     distributions on the New Assets during the term of the agreement and
     (ii) AILP will pay to the counterparty "interest" on the initial price
     of the Reference Assets at a rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus a
     spread. The share information set forth in Table II and this footnote
     (3) is based on information provided to the reporting persons by the
     Company as of the date hereof and is subject to correction in the
     event that new or different information is so provided.

     $6,998,290 in face amount of the Company's 6.80% notes due 2005, (ii)
     $18,559,060 in face amount of the Company's 8.75% notes due 2004 and
     (iii) $35,657,167 in face amount of the Company's 9.00% notes due 2008
     (collectively, the "Reference Assets"). As a result of the Plan, the
     Reference Assets will become, respectively, (i) 188,140 shares of
     common stock, (ii) 518,404 shares of common stock and (iii) 1,721,480
     shares of common stock (collectively, the "New Assets"). If the number
     obtained by subtracting (x) the initial price of the Reference Assets
     (as set forth in the agreement) from (y) the value of the New Assets
     on August 2, 2004 is a positive number, the counterparty will pay to
     AILP an amount equal to such excess. If such number is a negative
     number, AILP will pay to the counterparty an amount equal to the
     absolute value of such negative number. The agreement provides that
     AILP will pay to the counterparty "interest" on the initial price of
     the Reference Assets at a rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus a spread.
     The share information set forth in Table II and this footnote (4) is
     based on information provided to the reporting persons by the Company
     as of the date hereof and is subject to correction in the event that
     new or different information is so provided.

(5)  Pursuant to the Plan, on or about September 10, 2003, the Company
     distributed 280,884 shares of its Class A Senior Cumulative
     Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") to
     AILP and 246,103 shares of its Preferred Stock to Palomino on account
     of various claims held by the Purchasers against the Company in the
     Company's bankruptcy case. Each holder of Preferred Stock has the
     right, at any time (and from time to time) on or after September 30,
     2005, at such holder's option, to convert any or all of her shares of
     Preferred Stock into shares of the Company's common stock. The number
     of shares of common stock into which a share of Preferred Stock will
     convert is equal to (x) the liquidation preference of $25 per share
     plus accumulated and unpaid dividends as of the date of conversion,
     divided by (y) the then applicable Conversion Price Per Common Share.
     The "Conversion Price Per Common Share" will initially be equal to the
     greater of (x) the volume weighted average price per share of common
     stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange consolidated tape
     (the "Daily Price Per Common Share") for each of the trading days in
     the 60 calendar day period immediately preceding January 8, 2004 and
     (y) $0.15 per share of common stock, and will be subject to adjustment
     from time to time. Shares of the Preferred Stock are exchangeable, at
     the option of the holder, at any time (and from time to time) on or
     after September 10, 2013, for shares of the Company's common stock.
     The exchange rate for such shares will be equal to (x) the liquidation
     preference of $25 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends as
     of the date of the exchange, divided by (y) the volume weighted
     arithmetic mean of the Daily Price Per Common Share for the ten
     consecutive trading days ending on the date of the exchange. The
     Preferred Stock confers certain voting rights on the holders thereof.
     The share information set forth in Table II and this footnote (5) is
     based on information provided to the reporting persons by the Company
     as of the date hereof and is subject to correction in the event that
     new or different information is so provided.

     relates are Mr. Tepper, API and the Manager. Footnote (1) describes
     the relationships among the reporting persons.

     and (iii) $3,502,500 in face amount of the Company's 9.00% notes due
     2008 (collectively, the "Reference Assets"). As a result of the Plan,
     the Reference Assets will become, respectively, (i) 62,773 shares of
     common stock, (ii) 273,936 shares of common stock and (iii) 164,187
     shares of common stock (collectively, the "New Assets"). If the number
     obtained by subtracting (x) the initial price of the Reference Assets
     (as set forth in the agreement) from (y) the value of the New Assets
     on November 6, 2003 is a positive number, the counterparty will pay to
     Palomino an amount equal to such excess. If such number is a negative
     number, Palomino will pay to the counterparty an amount equal to the
     absolute value of such negative number. The agreement provides that
     (i) the counterparty will pay to Palomino an amount equal to all
     distributions on the New Assets during the term of the agreement and
     (ii) Palomino will pay to the counterparty "interest" on the initial price
     of the Reference Assets at a rate equal to 3-month LIBOR plus a
     spread. The share information set forth in Table II and this footnote
