Explanation of Responses:

1. To facilitate the continued beneficial ownership of Common Shares by the Reporting Person in a tax-efficient manner, the Reporting Person and WTM have agreed to cancel the Restricted Shares (shown on Table I above) in exchange for an equal number of Phantom Shares credited to the Reporting Person in WTM's deferred compensation plan (shown on Table II above) (the "Phantom Shares"). WTM is effecting the cancellation through the repurchase of the Restricted Shares for nominal consideration of $.01 per share.

2. Phantom Shares are convertible into Common Shares on a 1 for 1 basis.

3. The Phantom Shares are payable in cash or, at the election of the Company, in Common Shares following termination of the Reporting Person's employment with the Company or beginning at an earlier date selected by the Reporting Person.

4. Based on the average between the high and low bid price of WTM Common Shares on May 7, 2003.
