Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of Issuer. Item 6 is amended by adding the following: On May 11, 2004, the Issuer entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with W. R. Berkley Corporation and, for purposes of Section 2.4 of the Purchase Agreement, VFC, Samstock, Klopp, Klopp LP, Hatkoff and Hatkoff LP (the "Shareholders"). Hereinafter, the term "Berkley" refers to W. R. Berkley Corporation and its designated controlled affiliates: Admiral Insurance Company, Berkley Insurance Company, Berkley Regional Insurance Company and Nautilus Insurance Company. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer: 1. issued and sold to Berkley on May 11, 2004, 1,310,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and stock purchase warrants, to purchase 365,000 shares (the "Warrant Shares") of Class A Common Stock for a total purchase price of $30,654,000; and 2. issued and sold to Berkley on June 21, 2004, an additional 325,000 shares (the "Tranche 2 Shares") of Class A Common Stock for a total purchase price of $7,605,000. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed to appoint one designee of Berkley to its board of directors, and thereafter nominate this designee or alternative designee for election to the board at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders subject to certain conditions relating to Berkley's continued ownership of Class A Common Stock. Effective May 11, 2004, pursuant to such designation right, the board appointed Joshua A. Polan a director of the Issuer. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Shareholders, agreed to vote all shares of Class A Common Stock they beneficially own or over which they have voting control over in favor of the continued election of the Berkley board designee. In addition, the Shareholders agreed not to take, or support the taking of, any action to remove as a director the Berkley board designee, unless Berkley requests that such director be removed (in which case the Shareholders agreed to cooperate in effecting such removal and electing a replacement). The Shareholders agreed to vote at the Issuer's 2004 annual meeting of stockholders all shares of Class A Common Stock ---------------------- ------------------------- CUSIP No. 14052H100 Page 15 of 17 Pages --------- ----- ---- ---------------------- ------------------------- they beneficially own or over which they have voting control over in favor of the issuance of the Tranche 2 Shares and the Warrant Shares. Berkley reported aggregate beneficial ownership of 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which shares represent 24.0% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)). The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by Berkley. Berkley has disclaimed beneficial ownership of any shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons. A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. On January 26, 2004, pursuant to the Issuer's amended and restated 1997 long-term incentive stock plan ("1997 Plan"), Klopp was granted 21,882 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock. On June 30, 2003, July 15, 2003, September 30, 2003, October 15, 2003, December 31, 2003, January 15, 2004, March 31, 2004, April 15, 2004, June 30, 2004 and July 15, 2004, pursuant to the 1997 Plan, Hatkoff was granted stock units which are immediately vested and convertible into 419, 108, 375, 120, 339, 117, 308, 118, 281 and 114 shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively. On February 24, 2004, pursuant to the 1997 Plan, Klopp was granted a performance stock award pursuant to which Klopp may initially vest in a right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock with a value at the end of 2004 ranging from $0 to $750,000 if and to the extent the initial performance criteria is satisfied subject to further vesting over time and the extent of the satisfaction of additional vesting criteria.
