THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN

CIRCUMSTANCES BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE

                             WARRANT ENTITLING THE
                    HOLDER TO PURCHASE [ ] SHARES OF COMMON
                     STOCK OF MUTUAL RISK MANAGEMENT LTD.


No. [001]                                                           May 17, 2001

                          MUTUAL RISK MANAGEMENT LTD.

          MUTUAL RISK MANAGEMENT LTD., a company organized under the laws of
Bermuda (the "Company"), hereby certifies that, for value received, [        ],
              -------
or its assigns, (the "Holder") is entitled, subject to the terms set forth
                      ------
below, to purchase from the Company, at any time and from time to time (subject
only to Section 5(b)), in whole or in part, an aggregate of [     ] fully paid
and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common
                                                                      ------
Stock"), of the Company from and after the date hereof (the "Closing Date")
-----                                                        ------------
until the date which is the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Exercise
                                                                        --------
Period").
------

          SECTION 1.  PURCHASE PRICE.  Such shares of Common Stock shall be
purchased at a purchase price per share, subject to the provisions of Section 3
hereof, equal to U.S. $7.00 (as adjusted in accordance with the terms hereof,
the "Purchase Price").  The number of shares and the character of such Common
     --------------
Stock are subject to adjustment as provided below, and the term "Common Stock"
                                                                 ------------
shall mean, unless the context otherwise requires, the Common Stock and/or other
securities or property at the time deliverable upon the exercise of this
Warrant.

          SECTION 2.  EXERCISE OF WARRANT.  The purchase rights evidenced by
this Warrant shall be exercised by the Holder surrendering this Warrant, with
the form of subscription attached hereto as Annex I at the end hereof duly
executed by such Holder (the "Exercise Notice"), to the Company at its offices,
                              ---------------
44 Church Street, Hamilton HM12, Bermuda, accompanied by payment (as specified
below) of the aggregate Purchase Price determined as of the Determination Date
(as defined below) of the shares of Common Stock being
<PAGE>

                                      -2-

purchased pursuant to such exercise. Payment of the aggregate Purchase Price may
be made, at the option of the Holder, (i) in cash, (ii) by certified check or
bank cashier's check payable to the order of the Company in the amount of such
Purchase Price, (iii) by delivering shares of Common Stock with an aggregate
market price (determined in accordance with Section 3.1(f)) as of the day prior
to the Company's receipt of the Exercise Notice (the "Determination Date") equal
                                                      ------------------
to the product of the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock
being purchased, (iv) by the Company reducing, at the request of the Holder, the
number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable by a
number of shares of Common Stock (the "Surrendered Stock") equal to (a) the
                                       -----------------
product of (x) the Purchase Price in effect on the Determination Date and (y)
the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased, divided by (b) the
difference (if positive) between the market price per share of Common Stock
(determined in accordance with Section 3.1(f)) as of the Determination Date and
the Purchase Price in effect on the Determination Date or (v) any combination of
the methods of payment described in clauses (i) through (iv) above.

          2.1.  Partial Exercise.  This Warrant may be exercised for less than
                ----------------
the full number of shares of Common Stock, in which case the number of shares of
Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant as a whole, and the
sum payable upon the exercise of this Warrant as a whole, shall be
proportionately reduced.  Upon any such partial exercise, the Company, at its
expense, will forthwith issue to the Holder hereof a new Warrant or Warrants of
like tenor for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which rights have not
been exercised, such Warrant or Warrants to be issued in the name of the Holder
hereof or his nominee.

          2.2.  Delivery of Certificates for Common Stock on Conversion.  As
                -------------------------------------------------------
soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and payment of the
Purchase Price, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company,
at its expense, will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the
Holder hereof a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock or other securities or property to which
such Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, plus, in lieu of any
fractional share to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an
amount determined in accordance Section 4 hereof.  The Company agrees that the
shares of Common Stock so received shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as
the record owner of such shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on
the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment for such
shares of Common Stock made as aforesaid.

          SECTION 3.  ANTI-DILUTION PROVISIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS.  In order
to prevent dilution of the right granted hereunder, the Purchase Price shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with this Section 3.  Upon
each adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 3, the registered
holder hereof shall thereafter be entitled to acquire upon exercise of this
Warrant, at the Purchase Price resulting
<PAGE>

                                      -3-

from such adjustment, the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
obtainable by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such
adjustment by the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock acquirable upon
exercise thereof immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product
thereof by the Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment.

          3.1.  Adjustment of Purchase Price.  (a) In the event that the Company
                ----------------------------
shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of its capital
stock in Common Stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or
exchangeable for, Common Stock ("Common Stock Equivalents"), the Purchase Price
                                 ------------------------
applicable to exercises of this Warrant in effect at the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying
such Purchase Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number
of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the close of business on
the date fixed for such determination and (ii) the denominator shall be the sum
of (x) such number of shares and (y) the total number of shares of Common Stock
constituting such dividend or other distribution and shares of Common Stock of
the Company issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of the Common Stock
Equivalents constituting such dividend or other distribution, in each case, such
reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the
day following the date fixed for such determination.  For the purposes of this
paragraph, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company or held
by subsidiaries of the Company but shall include shares of Common Stock issuable
in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common
Stock of the Company.  During the Exercise Period, the Company will not pay any
dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury
of the Company or held by subsidiaries of the Company.

          (b)  In case the Company shall issue Common Stock of the Company at a
price per share less than the higher of the Purchase Price then in effect or the
current market price per share (determined as provided in Section 3.1(f)) of the
Common Stock of the Company on the date such Common Stock is issued, the
Purchase Price applicable to exercise of this Warrant in effect at the opening
of business on the day following such date shall be reduced by multiplying such
Purchase Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the close of business on
such date plus the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company which the
aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock of
the Company so issued or offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at
the higher of such current market price or the Purchase Price and (ii) the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
outstanding at the close of business on such date plus the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company so offered for subscription or
<PAGE>

                                      -4-

purchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of
business on the day following such date fixed for such determination.

          In case the Company shall issue Common Stock Equivalents of the
Company with a conversion, exercise or exchange price per share that, together
with the issuance price per share of such Common Stock Equivalents, is less than
the higher of the Purchase Price then in effect or the current market price per
share (determined as provided in Section 3.1(f)) of the Common Stock of the
Company on the date on which such Common Stock Equivalents are issued, the
Purchase Price applicable to exercise of this Warrant in effect at the opening
of business on the day following such date shall be reduced by multiplying such
Purchase Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the close of business on
such date plus the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
that the sum of (A) the aggregate conversion, exercise or exchange price of all
such Common Stock Equivalents and (B) the aggregate issuance price of all such
Common Stock Equivalents would purchase if the conversion, exercise or exchange
price, as applicable, per share of Common Stock of the Company and the issuance
price of Common Stock Equivalent were equal to the higher of such current market
price or the Purchase Price and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the close of business on
such date plus the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
that are issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of all such Common Stock
Equivalents at the actual conversion, exercise or exchange prices applicable to
such Common Stock Equivalents, such reduction to become effective immediately
after the opening of business on the day following such date.

     For the purposes of this clause (b), the number of shares of Common Stock
of the Company at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the
treasury of the Company or held by subsidiaries of the Company but shall include
shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of
shares of Common Stock.  During the Exercise Period, the Company will not issue
any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury
of the Company or held by subsidiaries of the Company.  If any rights or
warrants shall expire without having been exercised, the Purchase Price shall
thereupon be readjusted to eliminate the amount of its adjustment due to their
issuance.

          (c)  In case outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall
be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Purchase
Price applicable to exercises of this Warrant in effect at the opening of
business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes
effective shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case outstanding
shares of Common Stock of the Company shall each be combined into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price applicable to exercises of
this Warrant in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day
upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately
increased, such reduction or in-
<PAGE>

                                      -5-

crease, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of
business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination
becomes effective.

          (d)  In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute
to holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets
(including securities, but excluding any Common Stock Equivalents referred to in
clause (b) of this Section 3.1, any dividend or distribution paid in cash out of
the retained earnings of the Company at a rate not exceeding $0.07 per share per
quarter and any dividend or distribution referred to in clause (a) of this
Section 3.1), the Purchase Price applicable to exercises of this Warrant shall
be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
applicable Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business
on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the higher of the
Purchase Price then in effect or the current market price per share (determined
as provided in Section 3.1(f)) of the Common Stock of the Company on the date
fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined in
good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall
be described in a board resolution delivered to the Holder) of the portion of
the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share
of Common Stock of the Company and (ii) the denominator shall be such current
market price per share of the Common Stock of the Company, such adjustment to
become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day
following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such distribution.

          (e)  The reclassification of Common Stock of the Company into
securities including other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification
upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 3.7 applies) shall be deemed to
involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all
holders of Common Stock of the Company (and the effective date of such
reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for such
determination" within the meaning of clause (d) of this Section 3.1), and (ii) a
subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such
reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such
reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision
becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective,"
as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination
becomes effective" within the meaning of clause (c) of this Section 3.1).

          (f)  For the purpose of any computation under Sections 2 or 4 or
clauses (b) and (d) of this Section 3.1, the current market price per share of
Common Stock of the Company on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the
daily closing prices for the 10 consecutive Business Days selected by the
Company commencing not less than 10 nor more than
<PAGE>

                                      -6-

20 Business Days before the day in question; provided, however, that the 10
                                             --------  -------
consecutive Business Days selected for determination shall commence no earlier
than three Business Days following the expiration of the Put Period (as defined
in the Securities Purchase Agreement). The closing price for each day shall be
the closing price for such day reported in The Wall Street Journal or, if not so
reported, the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported
sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked
prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the
Common Stock of the Company is not listed or admitted to trading on such
Exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which such Common
Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading
on any national securities exchange, on the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System or, if such Common Stock is
not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quoted
on such National Market System, the average of the closing bid and asked prices
in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange
member firm selected from time to time by such Company for that purpose. In the
absence of one or more such sale prices, quotes or bid and asked prices, the
board of directors of the Company shall determine the current market price based
on (i) the most recently completed arm's-length transaction between the Company
and a Person other than an Affiliate (as defined in Section 11) of the Company
and the closing of which occurs on such date or shall have occurred within the
six months preceding such date, (ii) if no such transaction shall have occurred
on such date or within such six-month period, the value of the security most
recently determined as of a date within the six months preceding such date by a
nationally recognized investment banking firm or appraisal firm which is not an
Affiliate of the Company (an "Independent Financial Advisor") or (iii) if
                              -----------------------------
neither clause (i) nor (ii) is applicable, the value of the security determined
as of such date by an Independent Financial Advisor.

             (g)  In addition to the reductions in the Purchase Price that are
required by clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 3.1, the Company will
make such reductions in the Purchase Price (i) as it considers to be advisable
in order that any event treated for Federal income tax purposes as a dividend of
stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients and (ii) as may be
necessary to account for any adjustments to conversion, exercise or exchange
prices or rates made to any Common Stock Equivalents of the Company after the
Closing Date, the result of which is that the conversion, exercise or exchange
price or rate applicable to such Common Stock Equivalents is below the higher of
the Purchase Price or the current market price per share (determined as provided
in Section 3.1(f)) of the Common Stock of the Company, in each case in effect on
the date of such adjustment.

          3.2.  Notice of Adjustments of Purchase Price.  Whenever the Purchase
                ---------------------------------------
Price is adjusted as herein provided:
<PAGE>

                                      -7-

             (a)  the Company shall compute the adjusted Purchase Price in
     accordance with Section 3.1 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the
     Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Purchase
     Price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment
     is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be delivered to the Holder;
     and

             (b)  a notice stating that the Purchase Price has been adjusted and
     setting forth the adjusted Purchase Price shall be mailed by the Company
     together with a copy of the certificate prepared in accordance with
     subsection (a) above to the Holder as soon as practicable after the
     adjustment.

          3.3.  Notice of Certain Corporate Action.  In case:
                ----------------------------------

             (a)  the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other
     distribution) on its Common Stock payable other than a dividend payable in
     cash out of its retained earnings at a rate not in excess of $0.07 per
     share per quarter; or

             (b)  the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its
     Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares
     of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

             (c)  of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company, or
     of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for
     which approval of any of its stockholders is required, or of the sale or
     transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

             (d)  of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
     winding up of the Company;

then the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at least 20 days (or
10 days in any case specified in clause (a) or (b) above) prior to the
applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice describing
such event in reasonable detail and stating (x) the date on which a record is to
be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, or,
if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of record of
such Company's Common Stock to be entitled to such dividend, distribution,
rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of
which it is expected that holders of record of the Company's Common Stock of
record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock of the Company
for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

                                      -8-

          3.4.  Taxes on Exercise.  The Company will pay any and all transfer or
                -----------------
stamp taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of
Common Stock on exercise of this Warrant pursuant hereto.  The Company shall
not, however, be required to pay any income tax payable with respect to exercise
of this Warrant or any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other
than that of the Holder to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be
made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company
the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid.

          3.5.  Covenant as to Common Stock.  The Company covenants that all
                ---------------------------
shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant will,
upon issue, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, except as
provided in Section 3.4, the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issue thereof.

          3.6.  Cancellation of Exercised Warrant.  In the event this Warrant is
                ---------------------------------
surrendered for exercise, in whole or in part, it shall be delivered to and
canceled by the Company.

          3.7.  Provisions in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.
                -------------------------------------------------------------
In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into,
any other Person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other than a
merger which does not result in any reclassification, exercise, exchange or
cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Person
formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires
such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver a supplement to this
Warrant providing that the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right
thereafter to convert this Warrant only into the kind and amount of securities,
cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer by a holder of the number of shares (including fractional shares) of
Common Stock of the Company into which this Warrant might have been converted
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, assuming such
holder of Common Stock of the Company (a) is not a Person with which the Company
consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company
or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be ("constituent
                                                                 -----------
Person"), or an Affiliate of a constituent Person and (b) failed to exercise its
------
rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and
other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer;

provided, however, that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other
--------  -------
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer is not the
same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior to
such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by others than a constituent Person
or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall
not have been exercised ("non-electing share"), then for the purpose of this
                          ------------------
Section 3.7 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by each non-
electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount
<PAGE>

                                      -9-

so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares. Such
supplement to this Warrant shall provide for adjustments which, for events
subsequent to the effective date of the event which triggers the requirement of
such supplement, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
adjustments provided for in this Section 3.7. The above provisions of this
Section 3.7 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales
or transfers.

          3.8.  No Impairment.  The Company will not, by amendment of its
                -------------
memorandum of association or bye-laws or through any reorganization,
recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue
or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the
observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the
carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3 and in the taking of all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of
the Holder against impairment.

          3.9.  When De Minimis Adjustment May Be Deferred.  No adjustment in
                ------------------------------------------
the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant need be made unless the adjustment would require an increase or
decrease of at least 1% in the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  Any adjustments that are not made shall
be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

          All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest
1/100th of a share.

          SECTION 4.  FRACTIONS OF SHARES.  No fractional shares of Common Stock
of the Company shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant.  Instead of any
fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon
conversion of the Warrant (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay
a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same
fraction of the market price per share of Common Stock (as determined as
provided in Section 3.1(f)) at the close of business on the day of any such
conversion.

          SECTION 5.  CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON VOTING AND EXERCISE RIGHTS.  (a) In
