Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
         Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

         Item 6 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

         The following is a summary of certain agreements.

         The Investment Agreement and the Business Association Agreement,  dated
as of July 6, 1990 (the "Business Association Agreement"),  between Dai-ichi and
the Company established contractual relationships and understandings.

         Section 5.7 of the Investment Agreement provides that for 25 years from
July 6, 1990,  Dai-ichi will only transfer  shares pursuant to the provisions of
the Investment  Agreement  which includes  procedures  for  underwritten  sales,
private  sales and broker  transactions  and gives the  Company a right of first
offer. During the same 25 year period,  Section 5.8 of the Investment  Agreement
limits Dai-ichi's  acquisition of voting securities to not more than 9.8% of the
outstanding  voting  power of the Company and Dai-ichi has agreed in Section 5.9
of the Investment  Agreement to  limitations on its seeking to exercise  control
without  the prior  approval of a majority of the  continuing  directors  of the
Company's Board. These limitations include (a) not proposing mergers or business
combinations with the Company,  (b) not soliciting  proxies,  (c) not forming or
becoming a member of a "group" (as defined in Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act, as amended), and (d) not acting alone or in concert with others to
seek to  exercise  any control or to  influence  the  exercise  of control  over
management of the Company.  The  Investment  Agreement also provides that upon a
change of control of the Company and upon  completion of certain  tender offers,
the Company will make certain payments to Dai-ichi.

         The  Investment   Agreement  also  imposes  voting   restrictions   and
obligations  on Dai-ichi for 25 years from July 6, 1990.  For example,  Dai-ichi
has agreed, subject to certain exceptions,  to vote with respect to (a) election
of  directors,  (b)  amendments to the Company's  Articles of  Incorporation  or
By-laws, (c) shareholder proposals, (d) mergers,  acquisitions,  consolidations,
sales,    dispositions   or   purchases   of   material   amounts   of   assets,
recapitalizations or other transactions approved by a majority of the continuing
directors of the Company,  and (e) any transaction  opposed by a majority of the
continuing  directors in response to a hostile proposal,  in accordance with the
recommendations of a majority of the continuing directors.

         The Business  Association  Agreement  provides the framework for mutual
cooperation between the parties. Pursuant to the Business Association Agreement,
a number of actions will be taken  including,  but not limited to the following:
(a) Dai-ichi will use its best efforts to cede certain  reinsurance  business to
the Company and its affiliates;  (b) Dai-ichi will, subject to approval from the
Japanese  Ministry of Finance,  place funds  under  management  with  investment
management  affiliates  of the  Company;  (c) the Company will place funds under
management with an investment  management  subsidiary of Dai-ichi;  (d) Dai-ichi
will direct business  towards the health  insurance and pension products offered
by the Company; (e) Dai-ichi and the Company will have a personnel exchange; and
(f) the parties will  establish a joint steering  committee to coordinate  their
cooperative efforts.

Item 7.  Material to be filed as Exhibits

         The  Investment   Agreement  and  exhibits  thereto  and  the  Business
Association  Agreement  and the  exhibits  thereto  filed by  Dai-ichi  with the
original Schedule 13D dated July 6, 1990 are hereby incorporated by reference.
