      Investors
      Title Company (the "Company") engages primarily in two segments of business.
      Its
      dominant business activity is the issuance of title insurance through two
      subsidiaries, Investors Title Insurance Company ("ITIC") and Northeast Investors
      Title Insurance Company ("NE-ITIC"), which accounted for 91.8% of the Company&#8217;s
      operating revenues in 2006. Through ITIC and NE-ITIC, the Company underwrites
      land title insurance for owners and mortgagees as a primary insurer. Title
      insurance protects against loss or damage resulting from title defects that
      affect real property. The commitment and policies issued are predominantly
      the
      standard American Land Title Association approved forms.</font></div>

      are
      two basic types of title insurance policies - one for the mortgage lender and
      one for the real estate owner. A lender often requires property owners to
      purchase title insurance to protect its position as a holder of a mortgage
      loan,
      but the lender's title insurance policy does not protect the property owner.
      The
      property owner has to purchase a separate owner's title insurance policy to
      protect their investment. When real property is conveyed from one party to
      another, occasionally there is an undisclosed defect in the title or a mistake
      or omission in a prior deed, will or mortgage that may give a third party a
      legal claim against such property. If a claim is made against real property,
      title insurance provides a corporate guarantee against insured defects, pays
      all
      legal expenses to eliminate any title defects, pays any claims arising from
      errors in title examination and recording, and pays any losses arising from
      hidden defects in title and defects that are not of record. Title insurance
      provides an assurance that the insurance holder's ownership of such property
      will be defended promptly against claims, at no cost, whether or not the claim
      is valid.</font></div>

      delivers title insurance coverage through a home office, branch offices and
      issuing agents. In North Carolina, ITIC issues policies primarily through a
      home
      office and 27 branch offices. The Company also has branch offices in South
      Carolina and Nebraska. </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">Title
      policies are issued through issuing agents in other states. Issuing agents
      are
      typically real estate attorneys or subsidiaries of community and regional
      mortgage lending institutions, depending on local customs and regulations and
      the Company&#8217;s marketing strategy in a particular territory. The ability to
      attract and retain issuing agents is a key determinant of the Company&#8217;s growth
      in premiums written. </font></div>

      Company's overall level of premiums written in the land title insurance industry
      is affected by a number of factors, including the level of interest rates,
      the
      availability of mortgage funds, the level of real estate transactions and
      mortgage refinance activity, the cost of real estate, employment levels, family
      income levels and general economic conditions. Generally, real estate activity
      declines as a result of higher interest rates or an economic downturn, thus
      leading to a corresponding decline in title insurance premiums written and
      profitability of the Company. The cyclical nature of the land title insurance
      industry has historically caused fluctuations in revenues and profitability
      and
      it is expected to continue to do so in the future. </font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">Revenues
      for this segment result from refinance activity, purchases of new and existing
      residential and commercial real estate and certain other types of mortgage

      is

      issuance of title insurance policies and of general corporate operations. These
      expenses will be incurred by the Company regardless of the level of premiums
      written. The resulting operating leverage has historically tended to amplify
      the
      impact of changes in volume on the Company&#8217;s profitability.</font></div>

      any substantial increases in interest rates will likely have a negative impact
      on mortgage originations. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31,
      2006, therefore, should not be viewed as indicative of the Company's future
      operating results. </font></div>

      Loss provision rates are subject to variability and are reviewed and adjusted
      as
      experience develops. Declining economic conditions and/or declines in
      transaction volumes have historically been factors in increased claim expenses
      due to increased mechanics liens, defalcations and other matters which may
      be
      discovered during property foreclosures. Title claims are typically reported

      form of dividends and as reimbursements for operating and other administrative
      expenses. The Company&#8217;s ability to pay dividends and operating expenses is
      dependent on funds received from the insurance subsidiaries, which are subject
      to regulation in the states in which they do business. These regulations, among
      other things, require prior regulatory approval of the payment of dividends
      and
      other intercompany transfers. The Company believes, however, that amounts

      The
      Optionee acknowledges that, notwithstanding any registration of the Option
      and
      the Shares issuable upon its exercise under the Securities Act of 1933 or under
      the securities laws of any state, if, at the time of exercise of the Option,
      he
      is deemed to be an &#8220;affiliate&#8221; of the Company as defined in Rule 144 of the
      Securities and Exchange Commission, any shares purchased thereunder will
      nevertheless be subject to sale only in compliance with Rule 144 (but without
      any holding period), and that the Company shall take such action as it deems
      necessary or appropriate to assure such compliance, including placing
      restrictive legends on certificates evidencing such shares and delivering stop
      transfer instructions to the Company's transfer agent.</font></div>

      If the
      Company shall be a party to any merger or consolidation in which it is not
      the
      surviving entity or pursuant to which the shareholders of the Company exchange
      their common stock, or if the Company shall dissolve or liquidate or sell all
      or
      substantially all of its assets, the Option granted hereunder shall terminate
      on
      the effective date of such merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation
      or
      sale; provided, however, that prior to such effective date, the Committee may,
      in its discretion, cause the Option to become immediately exercisable, and
      may,
      to the extent the Option is terminated as provided in this paragraph 9,
      authorize a payment to the Optionee that approximates the economic benefit
      that
      he would realize if the Option were exercised immediately before such effective
      date, or authorize a payment in such other amount as it deems appropriate to
      compensate the Optionee for the termination of the unexercised portion of the
      Option, or arrange for the granting of a substitute option to the
      Optionee.</font></div>

      The
      Optionee acknowledges that, upon exercise of the Option, the Optionee will
      recognize taxable income generally in an amount equal to the excess of the
      fair
      market value of the purchased Shares over the Exercise Price paid therefor,
      and
      the Company will have certain withholding obligations for income and other
      taxes. It shall be a condition to the Optionee&#8217;s receipt of a stock certificate
      covering Shares purchased pursuant to the Option that the Optionee pay to the
      Company such amounts as it is required to withhold or, with the consent of
      the
      Company, that the Optionee otherwise provide for the discharge of the Company&#8217;s
      withholding obligation. If any such payment is not made by the Optionee, the
      Company may deduct the amounts required to be withheld from payments of any
      kind
      to which the Optionee would otherwise be entitled from the Company.</font></div>
