Explanation of Responses:
1. The Reporting Person was previously an Executive Officer of Hilb Rogal Hobbs (HRH). His interests in the Issuer's shares arise as a consequence of the completion of the acquisition of HRH by the Issuer on October 1, 2008, in which a combination of the Issuer's shares and cash were exchanged for HRH shares. The final number of Issuer shares allotted to the Reporting Person was not verified by the Exchange Agent until October 26th.
