EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

            In August 1998, the Company entered into an employment agreement
with each of Michael C. Lowther, Wayne D. Diaz, Dennis R. Duffy, and Barbara A.
Ferguson. Each employment agreement provides for a three year term and a
possible merit bonus granted at the sole discretion of the Board. The minimum
base salary of Messrs. Lowther, Diaz and Duffy under their respective employment
agreements is $260,000, $260,000 and $160,000, respectively. The minimum base
salary for Ms. Ferguson under her employment agreement is $160,000.

            In the event of the termination of the employee by the Company
without "cause," each employment agreement provides that the Company shall pay
to the employee an amount equal to the product of the employee's minimum base
salary in effect upon termination plus the total bonus paid or payable to the
employee for the most recently ended calendar year multiplied by the greater of
either the number of years remaining thereunder or two years.

            Upon termination of employment either by the employee or by the
Company (in breach of the employment agreement or without cause) following a
"change in control" of the Company, the employee would be entitled to receive
(i) his or her full salary through the date of termination; and (ii) an amount
equal to the product of the employee's minimum base salary in effect upon
termination plus the total bonus paid or payable to the employee for the most
recently ended calendar year multiplied by the greater of ether the number of
years remaining hereunder or two years. In addition, upon termination, due to a
"change in control," the employee is entitled to continue to participate in all
employee benefit plans and programs in which such employee was entitled to
participate prior to the date of termination provided that such continuation is
possible under the terms of the plan or program for a period equal to either (i)
the greater of the number of years remaining in the term of employment or (ii)
two years. If, however, any payment required to be made by the Company to an
employee upon termination due to a "change in control," constitutes a "parachute
payment" (as defined in Section 280(g) of the Internal Revenue Code), such
payment shall be limited to the highest amount of such payment which can be paid
without constituting a "parachute payment." The employee may only elect to
terminate the employment agreement due to a "change in control" of the Company
during the period commencing 60 days and expiring 365 days after such "change in
control."

            Following the expiration of the initial term, the employment
agreements will automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless the
employee or the Company notifies the other of his or its intent not to renew the
agreement. However, the Company may only decline to renew the agreement if the
Company or any of its subsidiaries does not meet the budgeted expectations for
such entities as determined by the Company's Board of Directors in the exercise
of reasonable discretion.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

            Directors who are not employees of the Company receive a $2,000 per
Board of Directors meeting attended (and $1,000 per committee meeting attended),
plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses. Directors who are employees of the
Company do not receive any compensation for acting as directors, except for
reimbursement of reasonable expenses, if any, for Board meeting attendance.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

            The Compensation Committee was formed in 1999 and currently consists
of Bruce Elieff and Robert Majorino.

            There are no Compensation Committee interlocks or insider
participation.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

            The following report of the Board of Directors shall not be deemed
to be incorporated by reference into any previous filing by the Company under
either the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") or the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") that incorporates future Securities Act or Exchange
Act filings in whole or in part by reference.

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

            The Company's executive compensation programs are designed to (i)
provide levels of compensation that integrate pay and incentive plans with the
Company's strategic goals, so as to align the interests of executive management
with the long-term interests of the stockholders; (ii) motivate Company
executives to achieve the strategic business goals of the Company and to
recognize their individual contributions; and (iii) provide compensation
opportunities which are competitive to those offered by other national title
insurance companies and other middle-market corporations similar in size and
performance. Although the exact identity of the corporations surveyed varies,
these generally include title companies and other corporations equal to or
larger than the Company. Most of the title companies surveyed are included in
the Peer Group Index utilized in the "Performance Graph" set forth below.

            Therefore, the Compensation Committee believes that the components
of executive compensation should include base salary, annual cash bonus, stock
option grants and other benefits and should be linked to individual and Company
performance. With regard to the Company's performance, the measures used for
determining appropriate levels of compensation for executive officers include
the Company's national market share, net margin, quality of service, meeting
strategic goals within the current economic climate and industry environment,
scope of responsibilities, expansion by acquisition or otherwise, profit
retention and profitability, all of which combine to enhance stockholder value.

BASE SALARY

            In determining base salaries for executives for 1998, the full board
considered the Company's earnings, outside surveys of salary levels of other
title agents, individual performance and achievement, areas of responsibility,
position tenure and internal comparability.

ANNUAL CASH BONUSES

            Executive officers of the Company are eligible for annual bonuses
which may be paid in the form of cash. Given the Company's performance in 1998,
the Board of Directors approved 1998 bonuses for the executives which were paid
in 1999.

STOCK OPTION GRANTS

            As indicated above, an important element of the Company's
compensation philosophy is the desire to align the interests of the executive
officers with the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders. In order to
meet this desire, the Board of Directors adopted a performance-based stock
option plan in 1999 for executive officers, key employees and branch managers of
the Company that allows participants to defer a portion of their bonus income in
order to reduce their option exercise price. This plan will be presented to the
shareholders at its Annual Meeting in 1999. Additionally, the Company's Board of
Directors and stockholders had previously approved the adoption of the Company's
1998 Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which the Company may grant stock options to
certain key employees and non-employee directors or officers. The purpose of all
the stock option plans is to attract, retain and award executive officers and
directors and to furnish incentives to these persons to improve operations,
increase profits and positively impact the Company's long-term performance.
Consistent with these objectives, the Compensation Committee granted options in
1999 for their performance in 1998 to executive officers as follows: (i) under
the 1998 Stock Option Plan as follows: Mr. Lowther, options to purchase 27,640
shares; Mr. Diaz, options to purchase 27,640 shares; Mr. Duffy, options to
purchase 10,000 shares; Ms. Ferguson, options to purchase 10,000 shares.

            Corporate Deduction for Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code generally limits to $1.0 million the corporate deduction for
compensation paid to certain executive officers, unless certain requirements are
met. At this time, the Company deduction for officer compensation is not limited
by the provisions of Section 162(m). The Committee intends to monitor
regulations issued pursuant to Section 162(m) and to take such actions with
respect to the executive compensation program as are reasonably necessary to
preserve the corporate tax deduction for executive compensation paid.

      Set forth below is a graph comparing cumulative total stockholder return
on the Company's common stock against the cumulative total return on the S & P
500 Index and against the cumulative total return of a peer group index
comprised of certain companies for the industry in which the Company competes
(SIC code 6361 -- Title Insurance) for the two month period beginning on
February 12, 1999, the date the Company went public, and ending March 31, 1999.
This peer group consists of the following companies: Chicago Title Corporation,
Capital Title Group, Inc., LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc. and Stewart
Information Services Corp. The peer group comparison has been weighted based on
the Company's stock market capitalization. The graph assumes an initial
investment of $100.00 on February 12, 1999, with any dividends reinvested over
the periods indicated.

BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES

      The Board of Directors held no formal meetings during the year ended
December 31, 1998.

      The Board presently has an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee
but does not have a Nominating Committee nor an Executive Committee. The Audit
Committee, which consists of Messrs. Fong and Majorino, formed in March 1999.
The Audit Committee will meet independently with the internal audit staff,
representatives of the Company's independent auditors and representatives of
senior management. The Audit Committee will review the general scope of the
Company's annual audit, the fee charged by the independent auditors and other
matters relating to internal control systems. In addition, the Audit Committee
will be responsible for reviewing and monitoring the performance of non-audit
services by the Company's auditors. The Committee will also be responsible for
recommending the engagement or discharge of the Company's independent auditors.

     The Compensation Committee was formed in March 1999 and currently consists
of Messrs. Elieff and Majorino. The Compensation Committee will review and
report to the Board the salary, fee and benefit programs designed for senior
management, officers and directors with a view to ensure that the Company is
attracting and retaining highly-qualified individuals through competitive
salary, fee and benefit programs and encouraging continued extraordinary effort
through incentive rewards.
The Compensation Committee did not exist during 1998.
