stock or owned by Fidelity or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be cancelled, and no payment shall be made in respect
thereof.

(b) Subject to Section 3.5 hereof, each Merger Share shall be
cancelled and, at the Effective Time, shall be converted into the right to
receive consideration having a value of $52.00 (unless Fidelity elects to pay
the Reduced Supplemental Consideration (as defined below), in which case the
Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section
10.1(c)(iii) below), consisting of:

(i) a number of Fidelity Common Shares (the "Stock Portion")
equal to the Exchange Ratio;

(ii) an amount in cash equal to the lesser of (x) $26.00 or (y)
(1) $52.00 less (2) the Stock Portion multiplied by the Average Fidelity
Common Share Price (the "Cash Portion"); and

(iii) to the extent that the sum of (1) the product of the Stock
Portion and the Average Fidelity Common Share Price and (2) the Cash
Portion is less than $52.00 (the "Differential"), then Fidelity shall add
an additional amount (the "Supplemental Consideration"), which at the
election of Fidelity may be in the form of cash, Fidelity Common Shares
(valued at the Average Fidelity Common Share Price), or a combination
thereof, to make up the Differential; provided, however, that if the
Average Fidelity Common Share Price is less than $15.00, then Fidelity
shall elect either (i) to pay the Supplemental Consideration or (ii) to
pay a lesser amount of Supplemental Consideration (the "Reduced
Supplemental Consideration") equal to the amount of the Supplemental
Consideration which Fidelity would be required to pay if the Average
Fidelity Common Share Price were $15.00. Schedule I hereto illustrates
the application of this Section 3.1(b)(iii) at various assumed Average
Fidelity Common Share Prices.

For purposes of this Agreement, "Average Fidelity Common Share Price" shall be
determined on the second trading day immediately prior to the date of the
Effective Time (the "Determination Date") and shall mean the average of the
daily averages of the high and low sales prices of a Fidelity Common Share
(calculated to the nearest 0.0001) on the NYSE Composite Transactions Tape for
the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding and including the
Determination Date (or, in the event that there is no trading of Fidelity
Common Share on any day during the 30-trading-day period, for such lesser
number of days within such 30-trading-day period when Fidelity Common Shares
are traded).

(c) The amount of merger consideration payable pursuant to
Section 3.1(b) (which shall be an amount equal to cash and Fidelity Common
Shares having a total

-9-

value of $52.00 or, if Fidelity has elected to pay the Reduced Supplemental
Consideration, an amount equal to $52.00 less the amount such reduction) shall
be referred to herein as the "Merger Consideration." After determining the
aggregate amount of Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.1(b) (and giving effect to any determination by Fidelity to pay any
Supplemental Consideration in the form of cash, Fidelity Common Shares or a
combination thereof), a determination shall be made (the "Allocation of Merger
Consideration") as to the total number of Fidelity Common Shares to be paid as
Merger Consideration (the "Maximum Shares") and the total amount of cash to be
paid as Merger Consideration (the "Maximum Cash"), taking into account the
following adjustments:

(i) in the event that the Allocation of Merger Consideration
would result in holders of Merger Shares owning less than that percentage
(the "Minimum Percentage") of whole outstanding Fidelity Common Shares
immediately after the Effective Time as is equal to the sum of (A) 50.1%,
plus (B) that percentage as is equal to (x) the Company Common Shares
issued by the Company (regardless of the consideration, if any, received
by the Company) to any person other than Alleghany, and not repurchased by
the Company directly from such person prior to the Effective Time, divided
by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Shares outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time, then if necessary to satisfy the
conditions in Section 9.2(c) or Section 9.3(c) hereof, the foregoing
allocation shall be adjusted (i.e., the Maximum Cash shall be reduced, and
the Maximum Shares shall be increased) such that the holders of the Merger
Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time will acquire at the
Effective Time whole Fidelity Common Shares equal to the Minimum
Percentage of the Fidelity Common Shares outstanding immediately after the
Effective Time;

(ii) after giving effect to any adjustment required pursuant to
the immediately preceding clause (i), if the product of (A) the number of
Fidelity Common Shares to be issued in the Merger and (B) the mean of the
highest and lowest quoted trading price of Fidelity Common Shares on the
date of the Effective Time (such product referred to as "Value of Stock
Consideration") is less than 40% of the sum of the Value of Stock
Consideration and the amount of cash consideration to be issued in the
Merger (such sum referred to as "Value of Merger Consideration"), then the
amount of cash to be issued in the Merger shall be reduced and the amount
of Fidelity Common Shares to be issued in the Merger shall be increased
such that the Value of Stock Consideration is at least equal to 40% of the
Value of Merger Consideration. For purposes of the preceding sentence,
Dissenting Shares, Company Common Shares exchanged for cash in lieu of
fractional shares of Fidelity Common Shares, Company Common Shares owned
by Fidelity or any of its Subsidiaries that will be cancelled in
accordance with Section 3.1(a), and Company Common Shares repurchased by
the Company since January 1, 1999, shall be treated as Company Common
Shares exchanged in the Merger for an amount of cash equal to the purchase
price therefor. The adjustments referred to in this subparagraph (ii)
shall be made in a manner so as to ensure that the Merger qualifies as a
reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and that the conditions in
Section 9.2(b) and Section 9.3(b) are satisfied.

-10-
15

(iii) The foregoing adjustments in subparagraphs (i) and (ii)
shall be applied in a manner such that the sum of (x) the total cash
payable in exchange for each Company Common Share and (y) the product of
the number of Fidelity Common Shares to be issued in exchange for each
Company Common Share multiplied by the Average Fidelity Common Share
Price, shall be equal to the amount of such sum in the absence of any
adjustments under subparagraphs (i) and (ii). For this purpose, the
Average Fidelity Common Share Price shall be equal to $15 if under Section
3.1(b)(iii) Fidelity has elected to pay the Reduced Supplemental
Consideration.

(d) Subject to the allocation and election procedures set forth
in this Section 3.1, each record holder (or beneficial owner through
appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) of Company Common
Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled to elect to
receive the Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Common Shares
entirely in cash (a "Cash Election"), (ii) to elect to receive the Merger
Consideration in respect of such Company Common Share entirely in Fidelity
Common Shares (a "Stock Election"), or (iii) to indicate that such record
holder has no preference as to the receipt of cash, Fidelity Common Shares or a
combination thereof with respect to such holder's Company Common Shares (a
"Non-Election"; and any Cash Election, Stock Election or Non-Election shall be
referred to herein as an "Election"); provided, however, that no holder of
Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to make an Election. All such Elections
shall be made on a form furnished by Fidelity for that purpose (a "Form of
Election") and reasonably satisfactory to the Company. If more than one
certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented
outstanding Company Common Shares (a "Certificate") shall be surrendered for
the account of the same holder, the number of Fidelity Common Shares, if any,
to be issued to such holder in exchange for the Certificates which have been
surrendered shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Company
Common Shares represented by all of the Certificates surrendered for the
account of such holder. Holders of record of Company Common Shares who hold
such Company Common Shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative
capacities may submit multiple Forms of Election, provided that such nominee,
trustee or representative certifies that each such Form of Election covers all
Company Common Shares held for a particular beneficial owner.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement (including without
limitation the election procedures set forth in this Section 3.1), the
following terms shall have the following meanings (after giving effect to
Section 3.1(b) and Section 3.1(c)): (i) the "Aggregate Cash Shares" shall mean
the aggregate number of Company Common Shares which may be converted into the
right to receive the Merger Consideration in the form of cash, and shall be
equal to the product of (A) a fraction (the "Aggregate Cash Share Fraction"),
the numerator of which shall be equal to the amount of cash to be issued in the
Merger and the denominator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the amount
of cash to be issued in the Merger and (y) the product of (1) the number of
Fidelity Common Shares to be issued in the Merger and (2) the Average Fidelity
Common Share Price, and (B) the number of Merger Shares; (ii) the "Aggregate
Stock Shares" shall mean the aggregate number of Company Common Shares which
may be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in the form
of Fidelity Common Shares, and shall be equal to the product of (A) one minus
the Aggregate

-11-
16

Cash Share Fraction and (B) the number of Company Common Shares outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (including Dissenting Shares and shares
owned by Fidelity or any of its Subsidiaries that will be cancelled in
accordance with Section 3.1(a)); (iii) the "Per Share Stock Amount" shall mean
a number of Fidelity Common Shares equal to (A) the Merger Consideration
divided by (B) the Average Fidelity Common Share Price; and (iv) the "Per Share
Cash Amount" shall mean an amount of cash equal to the Merger Consideration.

(f) If the aggregate number of Company Common Shares with
respect to which Cash Elections have been made exceeds the Aggregate Cash
Shares, then:

(i) each Company Common Share with respect to which a Stock
Election shall have been made shall be converted into the right to receive
the Per Share Stock Amount;

(ii) each Company Common Share with respect to which a
Non-Election shall have been made (or deemed to have been made) shall be
converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Amount; and

(iii) each Company Common Share with respect to which a Cash
Election shall have been made shall be converted into the right to
receive: (x) the amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of
(A) the Per Share Cash Amount and (B) a fraction (the "Cash Fraction"),
the numerator of which shall be the Aggregate Cash Shares, and the
denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of Company Common
Shares with respect to which Cash Elections shall have been made, and (y)
the number of Fidelity Common Shares equal to the product of (A) the Per
Share Stock Amount and (B) a fraction equal to one minus the Cash
Fraction.

(g) If the aggregate number of Company Common Shares with
respect to which Stock Elections have been made exceeds the Aggregate Stock
Shares, then:

(i) each Company Common Share with respect to which a Cash
Election shall have been made shall be converted into the right to receive
the Per Share Cash Amount;

(ii) each Company Common Share with respect to which a
Non-Election shall have been made (or deemed to have been made) shall be
converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Amount; and

(iii) each Company Common Share with respect to which a Stock
Election shall have been made shall be converted into the right to
receive: (x) the number of Fidelity Common Shares equal to the product of
(A) the Per Share Stock Amount and (B) a fraction (the "Stock Fraction"),
the numerator of which shall be the Aggregate Stock Shares, and the
denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of Company Common
Shares with respect to which Stock Elections shall have been made, and (y)
the amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the Per
Share Cash Amount and (B) a fraction equal to one minus the Stock
Fraction.

-12-
17

(h) In the event that neither Section 3.1(f) nor Section 3.1(g)
is applicable, then:

(i) Each Company Common Share with respect to which a Cash
Election shall have been made shall be converted into the right to receive
the Per Share Cash Amount;

(ii) Each Company Common Share with respect to which a Stock
Election shall have been made shall be converted into the right to receive
the Per Share Stock Amount; and

(iii) Each Company Common Share with respect to which a
Non-Election shall have been made (or deemed to have been made) (the
"Non-Electing Shares"), if any, shall be converted into the right to
receive: (x) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of
(A) the Merger Consideration and (B) a fraction (the "Non-Election
Fraction"), the numerator of which shall be the excess of (1) the
Aggregate Cash Shares over (2) the sum of the aggregate number of Company
Common Shares with respect to which a Cash Election shall have been made,
and the denominator of which shall be the excess of (1) the aggregate
number of Merger Shares over (2) the sum of the aggregate number of
Company Common Shares with respect to which a Cash Election and a Stock
Election shall have been made, and (y) the number of Fidelity Common
Shares equal to the product of (a) the Per Share Stock Amount and (B) a
fraction equal to one minus the Non-Election Fraction multiplied by (B)
the Aggregate Cash Shares less the number of Company Common Shares with
respect to which a Cash Election has been made divided by (C) the number
of Non- Electing Shares, and (y) the number of Fidelity Common Shares
equal to (A) the Exchange Ratio multiplied by (B) the Maximum Stock Shares
less the number of Company Common Shares with respect to which a Stock
Election has been made divided by (C) the number of Non-Electing Shares.

(i) Elections shall be made by holders of Company Common Shares
by delivering the Form of Election to the Exchange Agent (as hereinafter
defined). To be effective, a Form of Election must be properly completed,
signed and submitted to the Exchange Agent by no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on the date of the Effective Time (the "Election Deadline"), and
accompanied by (1)(x) the Certificates representing the Company Common Shares
as to which the election is being made or (y) an appropriate guarantee of
delivery of such Certificates as set forth in such Form of Election from a firm
which is a member of a registered national securities exchange or of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust
company having an office or correspondent in the United States, provided such
Certificates are in fact delivered to the Exchange Agent within three NYSE
trading days after the date of execution of such guarantee of delivery (a
"Guarantee of Delivery"), and (2) a properly completed and signed letter of
transmittal. Failure to deliver Certificates covered by any Guarantee of
Delivery within three NYSE trading days after the date of execution of such
Guarantee of Delivery shall be deemed to invalidate any otherwise properly made
Cash Election or Stock Election. Fidelity will have the discretion, which it
may delegate in whole or in part to the Exchange Agent, to determine whether
Forms of Election have been properly completed, signed and

-13-
18
submitted or revoked and to disregard immaterial defects in Forms of Election.
The good faith decision of Fidelity (or the Exchange Agent) in such matters
shall be conclusive and binding. Neither Fidelity nor the Exchange Agent will
be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in a Form of
Election submitted to the Exchange Agent. A Form of Election with respect to
Dissenting Shares shall not be valid. The Exchange Agent shall also make all
computations contemplated by Sections 3.1(f), 3.1(g) and 3.1(h) above and all
such computations shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of Company
Common Shares in the absence of manifest error. Any Form of Election may be
changed or revoked prior to the Election Deadline. In the event a Form of
Election is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, Fidelity shall, or shall
cause the Exchange Agent to, cause the Certificates representing the Company
Common Shares covered by such Form of Election to be promptly returned without
charge to the Person submitting the Form of Election upon written request to
that effect from such Person.

(j) For the purposes hereof, a holder of Company Common Shares
who does not submit a Form of Election which is received by the Exchange Agent
prior to the Election Deadline (including a holder who submits and then revokes
his or her Form of Election and does not resubmit a Form of Election which is
timely received by the Exchange Agent), or who submits a Form of Election
without the corresponding Certificates or a Guarantee of Delivery, shall be
deemed to have made a Non-Election. Holders of Dissenting Shares shall not be
entitled to make an Election and shall not be deemed to have made a
Non-Election; the rights of such holders of Dissenting Shares shall be
determined in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and as provided in
Section 3.5 hereof. If any Form of Election is defective in any manner such
that the Exchange Agent cannot reasonably determine the election preference of
the stockholder submitting such Form of Election, the purported Cash Election
or Stock Election set forth therein shall be deemed to be of no force and
effect and the stockholder making such purported Cash Election or Stock
Election shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to have made a Non-Election.

(k) A Form of Election and a letter of transmittal shall be
included with or mailed contemporaneously with each copy of the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus mailed to stockholders of the Company in connection with
the Company Stockholders Meeting (as hereinafter defined). Fidelity and the
Company shall each use its reasonable best efforts to mail or otherwise make
available the Form of Election and a letter of transmittal to all persons who
become holders of Company Common Shares during the period between the record
date for the Company Stockholders Meeting and the Election Deadline.

Section 3.2 Fractional Shares; Adjustments.

(a) No certificate or scrip representing fractional Fidelity
Common Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates,
and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote
or to any other rights of a stockholder of Fidelity. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, each holder of Company Common Shares exchanged
pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a
fraction of a Fidelity Common Share (after taking into account all Certificates
delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without
interest) in an amount

-14-
19

equal to such fractional part of a Fidelity Common Share multiplied by the
Average Fidelity Common Share Price.

(b) If at any time during the period between the Determination
Date and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital
stock of Fidelity or securities convertible or exchangeable into capital stock
of Fidelity shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification,
recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of
shares, or any dividend or distribution thereon (other than regular quarterly
cash dividends, not in excess of $0.084 per Fidelity Common Share) or a record
date with respect to any of the foregoing shall occur during such period, the
number of Fidelity Common Shares constituting part of the Merger Consideration
shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of the Fidelity
Common Shares and the Company Common Shares the same economic effect as
contemplated by this Agreement prior to the consummation of such event.

Section 3.3 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Promptly after the date hereof, Fidelity
shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the
Company, having net capital of not less than $100,000,000, or a subsidiary
thereof, as an exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") for the benefit of holders
of Company Common Shares. At or immediately prior to the Effective Time,
Fidelity shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for exchange or payment in
accordance with this Section 3.3, through the Exchange Agent, (i) certificates
evidencing the total number of Fidelity Common Shares to be issued in the
Merger, and (ii) (1) cash in an amount equal to (x) the Per Share Cash Amount
multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Cash Shares, and (2) any cash necessary to pay
amounts due pursuant to Section 3.2(a) and Section 3.5 (such certificates for
Fidelity Common Shares and such cash being hereinafter referred to as the
"Exchange Fund"). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable
instructions in accordance with this Article III, deliver the Fidelity Common
Shares and cash contemplated to be issued pursuant to this Article III out of
the Exchange Fund. Except as contemplated by Section 3.3(e), Section 3.3(f) or
Section 3.3(g) hereof, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other
purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the
Effective Time, Fidelity shall send, or will cause the Exchange Agent to send,
to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates that were converted
into the right to receive Fidelity Common Shares and/or cash pursuant Section
3.1, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall be in customary form
and specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall
pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent), for use in
the exchange contemplated by this Section 3.3. Upon surrender of a Certificate
to the Exchange Agent, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal, the
holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a
certificate representing that number of whole Fidelity Common Shares and/or
cash which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of
this Article III (after giving effect to any required withholding tax). Until
surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3, each Certificate shall be
deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to
receive the Merger Consideration and unpaid dividends and distributions
thereon, if any, as provided in this Article III. If any

-15-
20

portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the
Person in whose name the Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to
such payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or
otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such
payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required as
a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such
Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such
tax has been paid or is not payable. If any Certificate shall have been lost,
stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person
claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by
Fidelity, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as
Fidelity may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it
with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver, in exchange
for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the proper amount of the Merger
Consideration, together with any unpaid dividends and distributions on any such
Fidelity Common Shares, as contemplated by this Article III.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. Whenever
a dividend or other distribution is declared by Fidelity in respect of the
Fidelity Common Shares, the record date for which is at or after the Effective
Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in
respect of all Fidelity Common Shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No
dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with
respect to Fidelity Common Shares constituting part of the Merger Consideration
shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate, and no cash
payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder, until
such Certificate is surrendered as provided in this Section 3.3. Following
such surrender, there shall be paid, without interest, to the Person in whose
name the Fidelity Common Shares have been registered (i) at the time of such
surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date at
or after the Effective Time previously paid or payable on the date of such
surrender with respect to such whole Fidelity Common Shares, less the amount of
any withholding taxes that may be required thereon, and (ii) at the appropriate
payment date subsequent to surrender, the amount of dividends or other
distributions with a record date at or after the Effective Time but prior to
surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to
such whole Fidelity Common Shares, less the amount of any withholding taxes
which may be required thereon.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in the Company Common Shares.
As of the Effective Time, all Company Common Shares shall automatically be
cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a
Certificate representing any such Company Common Shares shall cease to have any
rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive, upon surrender of
such Certificate, the Merger Consideration. As of the Effective Time, the
stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no
further registration of transfers on the Company's stock transfer books of
Company Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If,
after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving
Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided
in this Section 3.3.

(e) Return of Merger Consideration. Upon demand by Fidelity,
the Exchange Agent shall deliver to Fidelity any portion of the Merger
Consideration deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 3.3
that remains undistributed to holders of

-16-
21

Company Common Shares one year after the Effective Time. Holders of
Certificates who have not complied with this Section 3.3 prior to such demand
shall thereafter look only to Fidelity for payment of any claim to the Merger
Consideration and dividends or distributions, if any, in respect thereof.

(f) No Liability. Neither Fidelity nor the Exchange Agent
shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Company Common Shares (or
dividends or distributions with respect thereto) for any amounts paid to a
public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or
similar law.

(g) Withholding Rights. Fidelity shall be entitled to deduct
and withhold from the Merger Consideration (and any dividends or distributions
thereon) otherwise payable hereunder to any Person such amounts as it is
required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment
under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign income tax law. To the
extent that Fidelity so withholds those amounts, such withheld amounts shall be
treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of
Company Common Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was
made by Fidelity.

Section 3.4 Company Stock Options.

(a) At the Effective Time, each option to purchase Company
Common Shares (each, a "Company Option") outstanding under any stock option or
compensation plan or arrangement of the Company, whether or not vested or
exercisable, shall cease to represent a right to acquire Company Common Shares
and shall be converted into an option (each, a "Fidelity Option") to acquire,
on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Option
except that such Fidelity Option shall be vested and immediately exercisable,
that number of Fidelity Common Shares determined by multiplying the number of
Company Common Shares subject to such Company Option by the Per Share Stock
Amount, with any fractional shares of Fidelity Common Shares resulting from
such calculation being rounded down to the nearest whole share, at a price per
share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (x) the aggregate
exercise price for the Company Common Shares covered by such Company Option
divided by (y) the number of full Fidelity Common Shares covered by such
Company Option in accordance with the foregoing.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Fidelity shall
take all actions (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of the
Company's stock option plan, employee purchase plan and other compensation
plans or arrangements) that are necessary to give effect to the transactions
contemplated by Section 3.4(a).

(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, Fidelity shall take all
corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of
Fidelity Common Shares for delivery upon exercise of the Fidelity Options. At
the Effective Time, Fidelity shall file a registration statement on Form S-8
(or any successor form), with respect to the Fidelity Common Shares subject to
such Fidelity Options, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain
the effectiveness of such registration statement(s), maintain the current
status of the prospectus(es) contained therein and comply with all applicable
state securities or "blue sky" laws for so long as such Fidelity Options remain
outstanding.

-17-
22

Section 3.5 Shares of Dissenting Stockholders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
any Company Common Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time and that are held by stockholders who shall not have voted in
favor of the Merger and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal
of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and who object to the
Merger and comply with all provisions of the DGCL concerning the right of such
person to dissent from the Merger and demand appraisal of such shares
(collectively, the "Dissenting Shares") shall not be converted into or
represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Such stockholders
shall be entitled to receive the amounts determined in accordance with the
provisions of such Section 262. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder
effectively withdraws the demand for appraisal or fails to preserve such right
to appraisal, in either case pursuant to the DGCL, such Dissenting Shares shall
thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable
for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive, without any interest
thereon, the Per Share Cash Amount.

(b) Any payments relating to Dissenting Shares shall be made
solely by the Surviving Corporation, and the Company shall not make any payment
with respect to, or settle or offer to settle with, the holders of Dissenting
Shares without the prior consent of Fidelity. The Company shall give Fidelity
prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for the payment of fair
value for Dissenting Shares, and Fidelity shall have the right to direct all
negotiations and proceedings with respect to Dissenting Shares.

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as disclosed in (i) the Company Disclosure Schedule attached
hereto or (ii) the Company SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof, the
Company represents and warrants to Fidelity that:

Section 4.1 Corporate Existence and Power. The Company is a
corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of Delaware, and has all corporate powers required to carry
on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified to do business
as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the
character of the property owned or leased by it or the nature of its activities
makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified
would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse
Effect. The Company has heretofore made available to Fidelity true and
complete copies of the Company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws as
currently in effect.

Section 4.2 Corporate Authorization. The execution, delivery
and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated hereby are within the Company's
corporate powers and, except for the Company Stockholder Approval (as
hereinafter defined), have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action. Assuming that this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding
obligation of Fidelity, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding
agreement of

-18-
23

the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws, now or hereafter in
effect, relating to or affecting creditors' rights and remedies and to general
principles of equity.

Section 4.3 Governmental Authorization. The execution,
delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation
by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby require no action by or
in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Entity other than (a) the
filing of the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL; (b) compliance
with any applicable requirements of the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust
Improvements Act of 0000 (xxx "XXX Xxx") or decrees thereunder applicable to
the Company; (c) compliance with any applicable requirements of the Securities

state securities or "blue sky" laws; (e) filings with and approval of the
Commissioners of Insurance of the jurisdictions listed on Section 4.3 (e) of
the Company Disclosure Schedule; (f) compliance with any applicable
Environmental Laws or state environmental property transfer laws; and (g) such
other consents, approvals, actions, orders, authorizations, registrations,
declarations and filings which, if not obtained or made, would not,
individually or in the aggregate, (x) be reasonably likely to have a Company
Material Adverse Effect, or (y) prevent or materially impair the ability of the
Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.4 Non-Contravention. Except as set forth on

Section 4.24 Year 2000 Compliance. The Company has (i)
completed a review and assessment of all areas within the business and

by suppliers and vendors) that could be adversely affected by the "Year 2000
Problem" (that is, the risk that computer software and systems used by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or their respective suppliers and vendors)
may be unable to recognize and perform properly date-sensitive functions
involving certain dates prior to and any date after December 31, 1999) and (ii)
developed a plan and timeline for addressing the Year 2000 Problem on a timely

judgment that either (A) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior
Proposal and provides written notice of termination of this Agreement in
accordance with Section 6.3(d) and Section 10.1, or (B) such Acquisition
Proposal could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, and (y)
prior to furnishing any non-public information to such Person, such Person

elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the Company's Board of Directors from
complying with Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to any
Acquisition Proposal or making any disclosure required by applicable law.

(c) Promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours) after
receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of their respective

considering making an Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall notify Fidelity
(x) that a Person may be considering making an Acquisition Proposal, and (y) of

material terms of such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall keep Fidelity
reasonably informed of the status and material terms of any such Acquisition
Proposal.

(d) Upon notice and in accordance with the terms of Section
10.1, the Company may terminate this Agreement at any time before the Company
Stockholder Approval is obtained if (w) the Company's Board of Directors shall
have authorized the

-43-
48

Company, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to enter into a
binding agreement concerning a transaction that constitutes a Superior
Proposal, (x) the Company notifies Fidelity that it intends to enter into such
agreement, specifying the material terms and conditions of such agreement, (y)
within three Business Days of receiving the notice described in (x) above,
Fidelity fails to propose and agree to enter into a modification of this
Agreement such that the Board of Directors of the Company determines by a
majority vote in its good faith judgment that such Superior Proposal is no
longer a Superior Proposal and (z) the Company pays Fidelity the fee
contemplated by Section 10.3(b).

Section 6.4 Purchases of Company Common Shares. Subject to
applicable legal requirements and to the contractual obligations of the
Company, the Company agrees to use its good faith efforts to repurchase Company

for such Company Common Shares shall not exceed $52.00.

which policies are described on Section 4.19 of the Company Disclosure
Schedule, such policy (or policies) to become effective at the Effective Time
and to remain in effect for a period of six years after the Effective Time. If
such coverage is unavailable, for six years after the Effective Time, Fidelity
shall provide to the Company's directors and officers liability insurance
covering acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time with respect
to those persons who are currently covered by the Company's directors' and
officers' liability insurance policies with insurance companies who are rated

Company's directors' and officers' liability insurance as described on Section
4.19 of the Company Disclosure Schedule and on terms with respect to such
coverage and amount no less favorable than those described on Section 4.19 of
the Company Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, that if the aggregate
annual premiums for such insurance at any time during such period shall exceed
200% of the per annum rate of premium paid by the Company as of the date hereof
for such insurance, then Fidelity shall provide only such coverage as shall
then be available at an annual premium equal to 200% of such rate.

(d) The provisions of this Section 7.4 are intended to be for
the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified party, his or her
heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) are in addition to, and not in
substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any
such person may have by contract or otherwise.

Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Company pursuant
to the Company severance plan and Company employee retention program and other
arrangements with regard to officers and employees of the Company described in
Exhibit C hereto. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board of Directors
will make any determinations required by the plans and arrangements described
on Exhibit C hereto, and Fidelity agrees that the Surviving Corporation will
implement such plans and arrangements in accordance with the determinations
made by the Company Board of Directors.

Section 7.6 Stock Exchange Listing. Fidelity shall use its
reasonable best efforts to cause the Fidelity Common Shares to be issued in
connection with the Merger or upon exercise of Fidelity Options to be listed on
the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance.

ARTICLE VIII
COVENANTS OF FIDELITY AND THE COMPANY

The parties hereto agree that:

Section 8.1 Reasonable Best Efforts. Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, each party will use reasonable best efforts to take, or
cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things
necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as
practicable after the date hereof, including (i) preparing and filing as
promptly as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary applications,
notices, petitions, filings, tax ruling

-48-
53

requests and other documents and to obtain as promptly as practicable all
consents, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, approvals, permits, tax
rulings and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third
party and/or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Merger or any
of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) taking all
reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain all such material consents,
waivers, licenses, registrations, permits, authorizations, tax rulings, orders
and approvals. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each
party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report
Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and to supply as
promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material
that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and to take all other actions
necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting
periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable, and (iii) the defending of
any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative,
challenging this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including
seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any
Governmental Entity vacated or reversed. Nothing in this Section 8.1 shall
require any of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Fidelity and its
Subsidiaries to sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of or conduct their
business in a specified manner, or agree to sell, hold separate or otherwise
dispose of or conduct their business in a specified manner, or permit the sale,
holding separate or other disposition of, any assets of the Company, Fidelity
or their respective Subsidiaries or the conduct of their business in a
specified manner, whether as a condition to obtaining any approval from a
Governmental Entity or any other Person or for any other reason, if such sale,
holding separate or other disposition or the conduct of their business in a
specified manner either (x) is not conditioned on the Closing or (y) would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Surviving
Corporation, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Merger (any such
sale, holding separate or other disposition or conduct of business referred to
(x) or (y) shall be referred to herein as a "Burdensome Condition").

Section 8.2 Certain Filings; Cooperation in Receipt of
Consents.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, Fidelity
and the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus and, as soon as practicable following the period of any
review thereof by the SEC staff, Fidelity shall prepare and file the
Registration Statement, in which the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be
included. Each of the Company and Fidelity shall use its reasonable best
efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the
Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the
Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the
Merger. Each of the Company and Fidelity shall mail the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus to its stockholders as promptly as practicable after the
Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act and, if
necessary, after the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall have been so
mailed, promptly circulate amended, supplemental or supplemented proxy material
and, if required in connection therewith, resolicit proxies. Fidelity shall
also take any action (except to qualify to do business or to file a general
consent to service of process) required to be taken under any applicable state
securities or "blue sky" laws in connection with the issuance of Fidelity
Common Shares in the Merger, and the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to furnish all information

-49-
54

concerning its directors, officers, stockholders and business as may be
reasonably requested by Fidelity in connection with any such action.

(b) No filing of, or any amendment or supplement to, the Joint
Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be made by the Company or Fidelity without
providing the other party the opportunity to review and comment thereon. Each
party will advise the other party, promptly after it receives notice thereof,
of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any
supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the
suspension of the qualification of the Fidelity Common Shares issuable in
connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any
request by the SEC for amendment of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or
comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional
information. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information
relating to either party, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or
directors should be discovered by the Company or Fidelity, that should be set
forth in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Joint
Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that either of such documents would not include
any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information
shall promptly notify the other party hereto and an appropriate amendment or
supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC
and, to the extent required by law or regulation, disseminated to the
stockholders of the Company and Fidelity.

(c) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
to be delivered to Fidelity two letters from the Company's independent public
accountants, one dated the date on which the Registration Statement shall
become effective and one dated the date of the Effective Time, each addressed
to the Company and Fidelity, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Fidelity and customary in scope and substance for comfort letters delivered by
independent public accountants in connection with registration statements
similar to the Registration Statement. Fidelity shall use its reasonable best

the Company Recommendation or failure to make the Company Recommendation
occurring at a time when Fidelity is in material breach of this Agreement
or has materially failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement

Agreement, the Company shall not be required to pay a Termination Fee to

Agreement or is of a magnitude which would have a Fidelity Material Adverse
