         6. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SHAREHOLDER.
Shareholder acknowledges that he has had an opportunity to ask questions and
receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Class
A Common Shares and to obtain any additional information that the Company
possesses, or could acquire without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to
verify the accuracy of such information and all such questions and requests for
information have been answered to the full satisfaction of Shareholder.
Shareholder represents and warrants that:

                  (a) (i) if Shareholder is a natural person, Shareholder (y)
has a personal net worth or joint net worth with his spouse of greater than
$1,000,000, or (z) has individual income (not joint income with his spouse) in
excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with his
spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable
expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year; or (ii) if
Shareholder is not a natural person, Shareholder and the person signing on its
behalf represent and warrant that either (y) all owners of equity interests in
Shareholder meet the qualifications stated in the preceding sentence, or (z)
Shareholder otherwise qualifies as an "accredited investor" as that term is
defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act");

                  (b) Shareholder acknowledges and confirms that Shareholder (i)

the Company and is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the
Company; (ii) is fully informed as to the business conducted by the Company;
(iii) has adequate means of providing for Shareholder's current needs and
possible contingencies and has no need now, and anticipates no need in the

registered under the Act or any other applicable state or federal statutes and

resale, distribution, subdivision, fractionalization or other direct or indirect
distribution thereof; (vi) has no agreement or other arrangement,

                                2

<PAGE>



formal or informal, with any person to sell, transfer or pledge any part of the
Class A Common Shares purchased for hereby or which would guarantee to
Shareholder any profit or against any loss with respect to such Class A Common
Shares, and he has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement; and
(vii) he understands that he must bear the economic risk of his investment for
an indefinite period of time because the Class A Common Shares or any part
thereof cannot be sold or otherwise transferred unless they are subsequently
registered under the Act (which the Company is not obligated and does not plan
to do) or an exemption from such registration is available.

                  (c) Shareholder, either individually or together with his
purchaser representative, has such knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in the Class A Common Shares and of making an informed investment
decision.

                  (d) If Shareholder is a natural person, he is at least 21
years of age and a bona fide resident and domiciliary (not a temporary or
transient resident) of the state or country set forth on the signature page
hereof, and has no current intention of becoming a resident of any other state
or jurisdiction.

                  (e) There have been no representations, guaranties or
warranties made to Shareholder by the Company, or its agents or employees, or by
any other person, expressly or by implication, with respect to (i) the
percentage of profit and/or amount of or type of consideration, profit or loss
(including tax benefits) to be realized, if any, as a result of investment in
the Class A Common Shares or (ii) the possibility that the past performance or
experience on the part of any officer or director of the Company, or of any
other person, might in any way indicate the predictable results of operations of
the Company, or of ownership of the Class A Common Shares.

                  (f) Shareholder understands that no federal or state agency
has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Class A Common
Shares or the Recapitalization Plan.

                  (g) Shareholder is acquiring the Class A Common Shares for
investment and not with a view for resale or distribution.

                  (h) Shareholder can bear the economic risk of losing his
entire investment.

                  (i) Shareholder's overall commitment to investments that are
not readily marketable is not disproportionate to his net worth, and his
investment in the Class A Common Shares will not cause such overall commitment
to become excessive.

                  (j) Shareholder has adequate means of providing for his
current needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity in his
investment in the Class A Common Shares.

                  (k) Shareholder acknowledges that the Class A Common Shares
were not offered to Shareholder by means of a general solicitation, publicly
disseminated advertisements or sales literature.

                  (l) If Shareholder is not a natural person, Shareholder is an
entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the state of its organization. Shareholder has all necessary power and authority
to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by the Shareholder and, assuming the due and valid authorization,
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, constitutes a valid and
biding obligation of the Shareholder enforceable against the Shareholder in

                                       3
<PAGE>



accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization, receivership or similar laws affecting
the rights of creditors generally. None of the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by Shareholder, the consummation by Shareholder of the transaction
contemplated hereby or compliance by Shareholder with any of the provisions
hereof will (1) violate its organization documents, (2) conflict with or violate
any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, permit or
license applicable to Shareholder or any of its subsidiaries, or by which any of
them or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound or affected,
(3) conflict with or violate any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract,
agreement, lease, license, permit or other instrument or obligation to which
Shareholder or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which Shareholder or any
of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or
affected.

                  (m) Shareholder represents and warrants to the Company that he
has completed and delivered to the Company a purchaser questionnaire, and that
the answers contained in the purchaser questionnaire and the representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement are true, correct and complete in all
respects.

         (7) COVENANTS OF SHAREHOLDER. Shareholder covenants and agrees with the
Company as follows:

                  (a) STANDSTILL AGREEMENT. Shareholder agrees that for a period
of 18 months from the Closing Date Shareholder will not engage in any
transaction that results in a change of control of, or solicit any third party

with the Act; (ii) an effective registration under any applicable state
securities statutes or in a transaction otherwise in compliance with any
applicable state securities statute, and (iii) evidence of compliance with the

competent securities counsel acceptable to the Company with respect to
compliance with the above laws.

have not been registered under such securities laws and referring to the
restriction on transferability and sale of the Class A Common Shares set forth

Company, or any transfer agent thereof, shall required compliance therewith,
either through the issuance of stop transfer instructions or through the making
of notations in the appropriate records of the Company.

         8.       OTHER MATTERS.

                  (a) This Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the

Superior Acquisition Proposal or (iii) if the Board determines that such action
is in the best interests of the Company or its shareholders. The Company agrees

duties to shareholders imposed by applicable law or the Exchange Act.

         "Superior Acquisition Proposal" shall mean a bona fide proposal made by
a third party to acquire, directly or indirectly, the Company pursuant to a

shareholders and to hold each of them harmless against any liability, costs or
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising by reason of
or in connection with any misrepresentation or any breach of such warranties by

shall be for the benefit of the Company and its officers, directors and
shareholders and each of them shall be entitled to all of the rights that such
covenants, warranties and representations shall confer. Shareholder agrees that
money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement,
and that in addition to all other remedies the Company shall be entitled to
specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for
any such breach.

                  (c) Shareholder agrees that, except as provided herein, this
Agreement or any agreement made hereunder or pursuant hereto may not be

rejection of this Agreement.

                  (e) Shareholder agrees to execute any and all further

                             PURCHASER QUESTIONNAIRE

                (ALL INFORMATION WILL BE TREATED CONFIDENTIALLY)



         The information elicited by this purchaser questionnaire (the
"Questionnaire") is to enable Chandler Insurance Company Ltd., a Cayman Islands
corporation (the "Company"), to determine whether you or the prospective
investor on whose behalf you are providing this information, as the case may be,
meets the suitability requirements for purchasers under Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and similar
requirements of other applicable securities laws. The Company will rely upon the
information contained herein for the purpose of such determination and for the
purpose of selling shares described in the Repurchase and Subscription Agreement
(the "Shares"). The request to complete this Questionnaire does not constitute
an offer of the Shares.

         Upon signing this Questionnaire, you (a) understand that you will have
an opportunity, prior to purchasing the Shares, to review all pertinent facts
concerning an investment in the Company and to ask questions of and receive
answers from the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the purchase,
and to obtain any additional information, to the extent that the Company
possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or
expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained in the
disclosure documents, (b) understand that no purchase will be consummated prior
to the receipt by the Company of the information required by this Questionnaire
and the other purchase documents, and satisfaction of such further conditions as
may be agreed upon between the Company and the undersigned in connection with
the sale of the Shares, and (c) agree that the Company may present this
Questionnaire (and your answers contained herein) to such parties as it deems
appropriate to establish the availability of an exemption from registration of
the Shares under the applicable federal and state securities laws and for other
corporation purposes.

INSTRUCTIONS:

         Answer all questions fully; if the answer to any question is "None" or
"Not Applicable," please so state.

         If you are an individual and are furnishing this information on behalf
of yourself or another person that is a natural person (i.e., an individual),
please complete Sections 1 and 4 only.

         If you are furnishing this information on behalf of a prospective
investor that is a corporation or partnership, please complete Sections 2 and 4
only.

         If you are furnishing this information on behalf of a prospective
investor that is a trust, please complete Sections 3 and 4 only. All questions
should be answered with regard to the person investing in the Shares. For
example, if a corporation is purchasing, all answers should relate to that
corporation (and not the officer completing this Questionnaire).

         If you use the services of a Purchaser Representative (as defined in
Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act) in connection with an
investment in the Shares, (a) you must acknowledge, in writing, before any
purchase of Shares, that the Purchaser Representative is your Purchaser
Representative in connection with evaluating the merits and risks of a
prospective investment in the Company, (b) the Purchaser Representative must
disclose to you, in writing, before the acknowledgment referred to above, any
material relationship between the Purchaser Representative or its affiliates and
the Company or its affiliates that now exists or is mutually understood to be
contemplated or that has existed at any time during the previous two years and
any compensation received or to be received as a result of such relationship,
including any compensation received or to be received in connection with the
offering of the Shares, and (c) you must furnish true and complete copies of the
foregoing documents to the Company promptly upon their execution.
