Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any disputes regarding amounts shown in a Renewal Commission Statement shall be resolved solely and exclusively as set forth in this Section 1.4(b); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.4(b) shall prevent any party from seeking and obtaining relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce performance of these provisions, including the decision of the Renewal Commission Arbitration Firm.

(c) Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall make, or permit any of their Affiliates or Representatives to make, any public announcement or issue any press release in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent (i) the Buyer or its Affiliates from any written or oral communications to the Policyholders or Producers, or to any other business relationships included in the Purchased Assets informing them of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and with respect to any integration, transition and related business matters or (ii) any party from complying with applicable Law or with the requirements of any securities exchange. 4.2 Notices and Further Assurances.Sellers acknowledge and agree that Sellers are required

13 by applicable Laws to send notices of non-renewal to the Policyholders (each, a “Policyholder Notice”) under the Insurance Contracts and will send such notices no earlier than 30 days prior to the Commencement Date and in accordance with applicable Laws. Sellers shall notify the Buyer prior to sending any Policyholder Notice (but at least (10) Business Days in advance of any Policyholder Notice). Each Policyholder Notice shall include the information set forth on Disclosure Schedule 4.2(a)(i) (if the underlying Insurance Contract requires the applicable Policyholder to “opt in” to renewal of such Insurance Contract) or set forth on Disclosure Schedule 4.2(a)(ii) (if the underlying Insurance Contract requires the applicable Policyholder to “opt out” of renewal of such Insurance Contract), in each case, as the same may be amended by the mutual written agreement of Buyer and Sellers. The Policyholder Notice is subject to regulatory obligations upon the Seller to offer continuation and nothing in this clause prevents the Seller from compliance with these obligations. Each of the parties shall execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional actions as the other party may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the transfer to Buyer of the Purchased Assets and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable in compliance with applicable Laws to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably practicable, the transactions contemplated hereby, including making all required filings with, or applications to, Governmental Authorities and Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Consents necessary for the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and for Buyer to conduct the Business, without expense to Buyer. 4.3 Restrictive Covenants.Each Seller hereby acknowledges that it is familiar with the Business’ trade secrets and with other Confidential Information related to the Purchased Assets. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 4.3 were a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, that ▇▇▇▇▇ would not have entered into this Agreement but for the covenants and agreements of Sellers set forth in this Section 4.3 and that Buyer and its Affiliates would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the parties hereto if either Seller breached the provisions of this Section 4.3. (b) Each Seller agrees that until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing (the “Restricted Period”) it shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) directly, or indirectly through another Person, call on, solicit or service any Producer on the Producer List or any Policyholder (including any Person that was a Producer or Policyholder of the Business at any time during the 12 month period immediately prior to such call, solicit or service), induce or attempt to induce such Person to cease doing business with Buyer or its Affiliates with respect to the Purchased Assets, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, Producer or business relation and Buyer or its Affiliates (including making any negative statements or communications about the Business, Buyer or its Affiliates) in a manner harmful to the Business, Purchased Assets or Buyer or its Affiliates with respect to the Purchased Assets. (c) During the Restricted Period: neither Seller nor any of either Seller’s respective Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, solicit any employee who was (i) dedicated to the Business and (ii) hired by ▇▇▇▇▇ or one of its Affiliates within six (6) months of the Closing Date; provided, that nothing in this Section 4.3(c) shall prevent Seller or its Affiliates from (A) soliciting or hiring any such Person whose employment or engagement has been terminated (1) by Buyer or its Affiliates or (2) by such Person voluntarily at least six (6) months prior to the first solicitation or hiring of such Person or (B) soliciting or hiring any such Person who responds to general solicitations to the public or general advertising that is not specifically targeted at such employees.

14 (d) If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants contained in this Section 4.3 (the “Restrictive Covenants”), a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by Law. Each Seller has consulted with legal counsel regarding the Restrictive Covenants and based on such consultation has determined and hereby acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of the Business and the substantial investment in the Business made by Buyer hereunder. (e) If a Seller or any of its Affiliates breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the Restrictive Covenants, Buyer and its Affiliates shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Buyer or any of its Affiliates at Law or in equity: the right and remedy of injunction, to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced and/or other equitable relief by any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of proving actual harm or posting a bond or other security therefor, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Business and Buyer and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to the Business or Buyer. In the event of any breach or violation by a Seller of any of the Restrictive Covenants, the time period of such covenant shall be tolled until such breach or violation is resolved. (f) The Restrictive Covenants in this clause do not prevent the Seller from complying with its regulatory obligations to offer continuation insurance. 4.4 Remittances. From and after the Closing Date, (a) if either Seller or any of its Affiliates receives (i) any payment from a third party that, pursuant to this Agreement, is due and owing to Buyer, such Seller shall, or shall cause such Affiliate of such Seller to, promptly (and in no event later than fifteen (15) days following receipt thereof) remit such payment to Buyer or (ii) any property that constitutes a Purchased Asset (or portion thereof) (including any correspondence) the applicable Seller shall, or shall cause such Affiliate of such Seller to, as promptly as practicable, deliver to the Buyer, in each case of (i) and (ii), without cost or expense to Buyer; or (b) if Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives any payment from a third party that, pursuant to this Agreement, is due and owing to either Seller, Buyer shall, or shall cause such Affiliate of Buyer to, promptly (and in no event later than fifteen (15) days following receipt thereof) remit such payment to such Seller, without cost or expense to either Seller. 4.5 Issuance of Notice of Termination.

17 (d) Defense of Third-Party Claims. Any Person making a claim for indemnification under this Section 5.2 (an “Indemnitee”) in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by any Person other than a party hereto or Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”) shall notify the indemnifying party (an “Indemnitor”) of the claim in writing as promptly as reasonably practicable after receiving written notice of the Third Party Claim, describing the claim (in reasonable detail), the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof; provided, that the failure to so notify an Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder or affect, limit or reduce the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor’s ability to defend against the Third Party Claim is materially and adversely affected by such failure (and then only to the extent that such failure shall have caused the damages for which the Indemnitor is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had the Indemnitee given the Indemnitor prompt notice hereunder). Indemnitee shall control the defense of any Third-party Claim. Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim giving rise to an Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at Indemnitor’s cost and expense, subject in all cases to Indemnitee’s ultimate control over the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to participate in such defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnitee) and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee if (A) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with, or otherwise alleges, any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (B) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief or other non-monetary remedies against the Indemnitee; (C) the Indemnitee has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee; or (D) the Third Party Claim, if successful, would reasonably be likely to result in a payment by an Indemnitee to one or more third parties that is in excess of the amount for which indemnification may be obtained under this Agreement (including by reason of the limitations contained in Section 5.2). (e) Claims Other Than Third Party Claims. If an Indemnitee shall desire to assert any claim or demand for indemnification provided for under this Section 5.2 other than a claim or demand in respect of, arising out of or involving a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor of the claim or demand in writing (a “Claim Notice”), describing the claim (in reasonable detail), the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) or an estimate thereof (the “Claim Amount”), within ninety (90) days after the Indemnitee’s determination that such claim or demand has or would reasonably be expected to give rise to indemnification under Section 5.2; provided, that the failure to so notify an Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder or affect, limit or reduce the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor’s ability to defend against the claim or demand is materially and adversely affected by such failure (and then only to the extent that such failure shall have caused the damages for which the Indemnitor is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had the Indemnitee given the Indemnitor prompt notice hereunder). Within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnitor shall deliver to the Indemnitee a written response in which the Indemnitor shall (A) agree that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive all of the Claim Amount, (B) agree that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claim Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) or (C) contest that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive any of the Claim Amount. If the Indemnitor does not send a timely written response, then the Claim Amount set forth in any Claim Notice shall be deemed finally determined for all purposes hereunder. Any such notice that contests the Claim Notice shall describe in general terms the basis for such objection

18 and, to the extent known, the amount of the claim (or an estimate thereof) that the Indemnitor does not believe should be subject to indemnification. Upon receipt of any such dispute notice, the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall endeavor in good faith to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution within thirty (30) days of receipt of such dispute notice. If a resolution is not reached within such thirty (30)-day period, then either party may commence litigation. If it is finally determined (through either agreement of the parties or otherwise) that all or a portion of the Claim Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall, within ten (10) days of such determination, pay the Indemnitee the applicable amount. (f) Exclusive Remedy. Except for actions seeking specific performance or similar equitable relief, any action or claim based upon fraud or intentional misrepresentation, and any disputes under Section 1.4(b) (which disputes will be resolved in accordance with the dispute mechanism set forth in Section 1.4(b)), the indemnification provisions contained in this Article 5 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of any representation or warranty made by a party or any covenant or agreement of a party contained in this Agreement. (g) Limitations. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (A) Sellers shall not be liable to the Buyer Parties for indemnification under Section 5.2(a)(i) (other than, in any case, with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations and Warranties, for which the following limitations will not apply) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of such indemnification exceeds an amount equal to €3,000 (the “Deductible”), after which point Sellers shall indemnify Buyer Parties for all Losses; provided, further, that Sellers’ aggregate liability under Section 5.2(a)(i) (other than, in any case, with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations and Warranties, for which the following limitation will not apply), shall in no event exceed an amount equal to €100,000 (the “Cap”); provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Cap shall not apply to the Buyer Parties’ rights to indemnification for any other indemnifiable matters hereunder (including Losses they may suffer, sustain or incur arising from, in connection with or as a result of the breach of any Seller Fundamental Representation), which shall be limited to the Renewal Commission Payments actually received by Sellers. (ii) NO PARTY HERETO SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, ANY DAMAGES BASED UPON ANY TYPE OF MULTIPLE OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION LOSSES, LOSS OF FUTURE REVENUE, PROFITS OR INCOME OR LESS OF BUSINESS REPUTATION OR OPPORTUNITY RELATING TO THE BREACH OR ALLEGED BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT; EXCEPT (I) TO THE EXTENT SUCH AMOUNTS ARE ACTUALLY PAID TO A NON-AFFILIATED PERSON IN RESPECT OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR (II) FOR LOST PROFITS OR DAMAGES BASED ON DIMINUTION IN VALUE THAT ARE THE NATURAL, PROBABLE AND REASONABLY FORESEEABLE RESULT OF A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND (B) SHALL BE NET OF ANY AMOUNTS ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION FOR WHICH SUCH INDEMNITY PAYMENT IS MADE UNDER ANY THIRD-PARTY INSURANCE POLICY,

19 REINSURANCE AGREEMENT, WARRANTY OR INDEMNITY, IN EACH CASE, PROVIDING FOR COVERAGE RELATING THERETO. (iii) Each party must use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise to such Loss for which such party seeks indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. (iv) Subject to any other provisions of this Agreement, and except in the case of circumstances involving fraud, the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Article 5 shall be the exclusive remedy of Buyer Parties and Seller Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (v) Any indemnity payment made hereunder shall be treated by Sellers and ▇▇▇▇▇ as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. (vi) Any liability for any Losses shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement of this Agreement. (vii) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement, the parties agree and acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict (including any Cap or time limitations) any of the parties’ rights to maintain or recover any amounts in connection with any action or claim based upon fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful or criminal misconduct.

If any provision, including any phrase, sentence, clause, section or subsection, of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable for any reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering such provision in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision herein contained invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever.
