(b)Preparation of Closing Date Balance Sheet.

(i)Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser will prepare and deliver to Seller a draft balance sheet for the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (determined on a pro forma basis as though the parties had not consummated the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (the “Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet”) together with Purchaser’s calculation of the Net Book Value. Purchaser will prepare the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet (including the Net Book Value ) in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with the classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies used in the preparation of the GAAP Financial Statements; provided, however, that assets, liabilities, gains, losses, revenues, and expenses in interim periods or as of dates other than year-end (which normally are determined through the application of so-called interim accounting conventions or procedures) shall be determined, for purposes of the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet, through full application of the procedures used in preparing the most recent balance sheet included within the GAAP Financial Statements.

(ii)If Seller has any objections to the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet, including the calculations of the Net Book Value, then Seller shall deliver a detailed statement describing its objections to Purchaser within thirty

(30) days after receiving the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet. Purchaser and Seller shall use reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections themselves.

The determination of the Independent Accountant shall be set forth in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. Purchaser shall revise the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet, and/or the Net Book Value as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 2.8(b)(ii). If Seller does not deliver any objection to Purchaser by the expiration of the thirty (30) days after receipt of the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet, then the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet shall become the Closing Date Balance Sheet (defined below) and the calculations of the Net Book Value shall be final. The “Closing Date Balance Sheet” means the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet together with any revisions thereto pursuant to this Section 2.8(b)(ii) and the calculation of the Net Book Value with any revisions thereto pursuant to this Section 2.8(b)(ii).

(iii)In the event Purchaser and Seller submit any unresolved objections to the Independent Accountant for resolution as provided in Section 2.8(b)(ii) above, the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Seller, on the one hand, and by Purchaser, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Seller or Purchaser, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Seller and Purchaser.

(iv)Purchaser will make the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Net Book Value available to Seller and its accountants and other Representatives necessary for its evaluation at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice at any time during (A) the preparation by Purchaser of the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Net Book Value, (B) the review by Seller of the Draft Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Net Book Value, and (C) the resolution by Purchaser and Seller of any objections thereto.

(c)Post-Closing Adjustments.

(i)If the Net Book Value (calculated using the Closing Date Balance Sheet) is less than the Minimum Net Book Value, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive from Seller the amount by which such Net Book Value is less than the Minimum Net Book Value (“Seller Post-Closing Adjustment”).

(ii)If such Net Book Value is greater than the Minimum Net Book Value, Seller shall be entitled to receive from Purchaser the amount by which such Net Book Value exceeds the Minimum Net Book Value (“Purchaser Post-Closing Adjustment”).

(iii)Any Post-Closing Adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.8(c) shall be (x) paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the recipient Party may direct by written notice within five (5) Business Days of the date that the Closing Date Balance Sheet (together with the Net Book Value) is either accepted or otherwise finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.8 and (y) treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law. Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offset against the Seller Note all or a portion of any Post-Closing Adjustment Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the amount of any Post-Closing Adjustment payable hereunder shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.4.

(xv)pay, settle or compromise any Action or threatened Action involving the Company or its businesses, assets, properties or employees;

(xvi)increase or decrease loss reserves in a manner that is inconsistent with past practice; or

(b)Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 5.1(a) to the contrary:

(i)should any insurance regulatory authority require that Seller, the Company or the other Subsidiaries of Seller disclose any information or take any action in violation of Section 5.1(a), Seller may and may cause the Company to undertake the required disclosure or conduct without Purchaser’s consent, and such action shall not constitute a violation of Section 5.1(a); provided, however, that in the event that any such information is required to be disclosed or any such action is required to be taken, Seller, the Company or the other Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall (A) notify Purchaser in writing as soon as possible, unless it is otherwise affirmatively prohibited by applicable Law, and (B) use commercially reasonable efforts to limit any such disclosure or action to the minimum necessary or required to comply with such regulatory requirement and (C) cooperate with Purchaser to provide such information or take such action consistent with the terms of this Agreement;

(ii)no actual or proposed action relating to Seller or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company shall require any notification to or consent from Purchaser under Section 5.1(a), unless such action (A) is or could reasonably be expected to have a Business Material Adverse Effect, (B) has or could reasonably be expected to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect, or (C) materially delays consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents;

(iii)Seller shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, declare, pay or set aside any dividends or distributions (whether in cash, securities or other property) to the holders of equity interests of the Company without Purchaser’s prior consent (such consent to be at Purchasers sole discretion), except for cash dividends declared and paid after January 1, 2015 that in an aggregate amount do not exceed $4,005,244; provided, that Seller shall provide written notice of the date and amount of any such dividend two Business Days prior to the payment thereof if such dividend and the timing thereof has not been disclosed in Seller’s Disclosure Schedule; and

(iv)By email pursuant to Section 10.1, Seller shall provide Purchaser copies of the package of reinsurance submissions and placement contracts to be submitted to reinsurers by Seller’s reinsurance intermediary no less than four (4) Business Days prior to Seller sending the same to such intermediary.

Without Purchaser’s prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall purchase, replace or renew any reinsurance involving the Company, including the Company entering into any Reinsurance Contracts, unless such Reinsurance Contract (w) satisfies in all material respects the requirements of the Domiciliary Regulator applicable thereto, (x) meets the minimum standards of Demotech, Inc. with respect to its rating of the Company, (y) enables the Company to “take credit” for the reinsurance provided thereunder on its statutory financial statements, and (z) is in all material respects consistent with past practices.

For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations under this Section 5.1(c) shall not require Seller or any of its Affiliates to take any action in relation to any actual or proposed Seller Burdensome Condition.

Section 5.2 Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Company to, (a) provide Purchaser and its Representatives with reasonable access and right to inspect during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior notice to all personnel, officers, employees, assets, premises, contracts, documents and properties of Seller and the Company and the books and records and other information and data relating to the Company; (b) furnish Purchaser and its Representatives with such financial, operating and other data and information related to the Company as Purchaser or any of its Representatives may reasonably request; and (c) instruct the Representatives of Seller and the Company to cooperate with Purchaser in its investigation thereof, provided, that such investigation shall be conducted in a manner as to not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company. Seller shall furnish Purchaser and its Representatives with all such information and data (including copies of contracts, Plans and other books and records) concerning the Company and operations of the Company as Purchaser or any of such Representatives reasonably may request in connection with such investigation; provided, however, that (i) the auditors and outside accountants of Seller shall not be obligated to make work papers available unless Purchaser has signed a customary agreement relating to access to such work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such auditors or accountants, as applicable, (ii) Seller shall not be obligated to make any information available that would, in the reasonable judgment of Seller, with advise from legal counsel, (x) violate or jeopardize any applicable attorney client or other similar legal privilege or (y) violate any applicable Law or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement that is listed on Section 5.2 of the Seller Disclosure Schedule. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall permit Purchaser and its Representatives to conduct environmental due diligence of the Company and the Real Property, including the collecting and analysis of samples of indoor or outdoor air, surface water, groundwater or surface or subsurface land on, at, in, under or from the Company and the Real Property. No investigation by Purchaser or other information received by Purchaser shall operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by Seller in this Agreement. All such information shall be kept confidential in accordance with the terms of that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2015, made by and between Purchaser and Seller (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Section 5.3 Reasonable Efforts.

(a)Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) as promptly as practicable but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, filing with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice, the notification and report form under the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR Act”) required for the transactions contemplated hereby and, thereafter, furnishing as promptly as reasonably practicable any supplemental information requested in connection therewith by any Governmental Authority pursuant to the HSR Act and (ii) as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, filing with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States the voluntary notification under the Exxon-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Amendment for the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to take any action that is reasonably likely to result in a Purchaser Burdensome Condition and neither Seller nor its Affiliates shall be required to take any action that is reasonably likely to result in a Seller Burdensome Condition. Seller and Purchaser each shall comply as promptly as practicable with any other laws of any Governmental Authority that are applicable to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Transaction Documents and pursuant to which any consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person in connection with such transactions is necessary. Seller and Purchaser each shall furnish to the others such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with their preparation of any filing, registration or declaration which is necessary under the HSR Act or any other such laws. Purchaser and Seller shall keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, any Governmental Authority (or other Person regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents) in respect of any such filing, registration or declaration, and shall comply promptly with any such inquiry or request (and, unless precluded by Law, provide copies of any such communications that are in writing). The Parties shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts and take all necessary action to obtain any clearance under the HSR Act or any other consent, approval, order or authorization of any Governmental Authority under United States or foreign antitrust or competition Laws, necessary in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or to resolve any objections that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable, including by defending against any lawsuits, actions or proceedings, judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and seeking to have any preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order, stay or other legal restraint or prohibition entered or imposed by any court or other Governmental Authority that is not yet final and nonappealable vacated or reversed.

(c)Seller and Purchaser each shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable all Permits required by law for Purchaser to conduct the Business following the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be required to expend any material sum to obtain any such Permits.

(d)Seller and Purchaser will cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, approvals and waivers required by third Persons so that all permits, contracts and other agreements of the Company will remain in full force and effect. Seller and Purchaser agree that, in the event that any consent, approval or waiver from a third Person necessary to preserve for the Company or the Business any right or benefit under any lease, license, Contract, commitment or other agreement or arrangement to which Seller or the Company is a party is not obtained prior to the Closing, subsequent to the Closing, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser or the Company in obtaining consent as promptly thereafter as practicable, and if any such consent, approval or waiver from a third Person is not obtained prior to the Closing, from and after the Closing and until such consent, approval or waiver is obtained, the Parties shall cooperate with each other using commercially reasonable efforts to provide for Purchaser or one of its Affiliates the benefits thereof in some other manner.

(e)Purchaser shall promptly (and in no event more than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of this Agreement) make all filings and notifications with all Governmental Authorities that may be or may become reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including (i) Purchaser causing “Form A” or similar appropriate change of control applications to be filed with the Domiciliary Regulator with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents; (ii) Seller and Purchaser each making an appropriate filing of a notification and report form pursuant to the HSR Act (which filing, including the exhibits thereto, need not be shared or otherwise disclosed to the other Party) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents;

(iii) Seller and Purchaser each making any other filing that may be required under any other antitrust or competition law or by any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over enforcement of any applicable antitrust or competition laws; and (iv) Purchaser making any other filing that may be required under any insurance, financial services or similar applicable Law or by any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over enforcement of any applicable insurance, financial services or similar law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require (i) Purchaser to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction, in connection with obtaining the permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of Governmental Authorities or third parties for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a Purchaser Burdensome Condition or (ii) Seller or any of its Affiliates to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction, in connection with obtaining the permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of Governmental Authorities or third parties for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a Seller Burdensome Condition. Purchaser shall provide a draft of the “Form A” or similar change of control applications to Seller no less than two (2) Business Days prior to filing. Seller and Purchaser each agrees to supply promptly any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act or any other applicable Laws. Purchaser shall have responsibility for the filing fees associated with its HSR Act filing, its “Form A” or similar change of control applications and any “Form E” or similar market share notifications, and Seller and Purchaser shall have responsibility for their other respective filing fees associated with any other required filings.

(f)Promptly after the date hereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the date hereof, Seller and Purchaser shall each appoint a transition team to cooperate in good faith to develop a plan for transitioning the Company’s Business (other than the Fronted Automobile Business) to Purchaser in order to make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which transition plan shall include, but not be limited to, the matters and terms set forth on Section 5.3(f) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule, and such transition plan shall be implemented in good faith by the Parties.

Section 5.4 Notification.

(a)From the date hereof until the Closing, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of:

(i)any fact, circumstance, event or action the existence, occurrence or taking of which (A) has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Business Material Adverse Effect, (B) has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, any representation or warranty made by Seller hereunder not being true and correct or (C) has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 to be satisfied;

(ii)any notice or other written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents;

(iii)any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents; and

(iv)any Actions commenced or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting Seller or the Company that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Section 3.10 or that relates to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b)From the date hereof until the Closing, subject to applicable Law, Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller in writing of:

(i)any fact, circumstance, event or action the existence, occurrence or taking of which (A) has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, or (B) has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 to be satisfied; and

(ii)any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

(c)Purchaser's receipt of information pursuant to Section 5.4(a) shall not operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by Seller in this Agreement and shall not be deemed to amend or

supplement the Seller Disclosure Schedule. Seller’s receipt of information pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) shall not operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by Purchaser in this Agreement

(d)No notice given pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall have any effect on the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement for purposes of determining satisfaction of any condition contained herein or shall in any way limit a Party’s right to indemnity under Article VII. Any such notice shall be deemed to modify the representations and warranties made herein, other than for purposes of determining satisfaction of the closing conditions in Article VI.

Section 5.5 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, registration, stamp, documentary, sales, use and similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer or gains Taxes and transfer Taxes), any penalties, interest and additions to Tax, and fees incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne 50% by Seller and 50% by Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in the timely making of all filings, returns, reports and forms as may be required in connection therewith.

Section 5.6 Employee Matters.

(a)Purchaser will have reasonable access to the facilities of the Company for the purpose of conducting employment interviews with the individuals designated as the “Business Employees” and “Retained Employee” on Section 5.6(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule and will conduct the interviews as expeditiously as possible prior to Closing. Purchaser shall make offers of employment with Purchaser or one of its Affiliates, contingent on the Closing, to the Business Employees, in its sole discretion. Purchaser shall inform Seller of the identities of those Business Employees to whom Purchaser will not make an offer of employment. Unless and until Purchaser has informed Seller in writing that a particular Business Employee will not receive any employment offer from Purchaser, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall (i) terminate the employment of any Business Employee except for cause, (ii) encourage or facilitate the voluntary termination of employment by any Business Employee or (iii) solicit, encourage or facilitate the continued employment of any Business Employee in a manner that could have the effect of discouraging such Business Employee from accepting employment by Purchaser. In the event that the Retained Employee’s or a Business Employee’s employment is terminated by such Retained Employee or Business Employee or Seller or any of its Affiliates prior to Closing, then Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, enforce the covenants set forth in any employment agreement or similar agreement to which such terminated Retained Employee or Business Employee is a party to as of the date hereof. Each such Business Employee who (w) accepts Purchaser’s offer, (x) voluntarily terminates his or her employment with the Seller, the Company or the applicable Affiliate thereof that employs him or her, if requested by Purchaser, (y) executes and delivers either a confidentiality and non-solicitation agreement or an employment agreement, in either case, if required by Purchaser, and (z) actually performs services for Purchaser or one of its Affiliates on the first business day following the Closing Date, shall be deemed to be a “Hired Business Employee.” Seller shall be responsible for all employment-related obligations with respect to all employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates other than the Retained Employee and a Hired Business Employee, provided, however, Seller shall remain responsible for all employment-related obligations to a Hired Business Employee to the extent such obligations arise with respect to a termination of such Hired Business Employee of employment with Seller or any of its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall any employee of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Retained Employee and a Hired Business Employee) be considered an employee of Purchaser for any purpose, and Purchaser shall have no Liability whatsoever with respect to any employees of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Retained Employee and a Hired Business Employee).

(b)Purchaser shall cause the Company to take the following actions with respect to the Retained Employee and the Business Employees under any employee plans for which such employee may become eligible after Closing: (i) waive any limitations regarding pre-existing conditions and eligibility waiting periods to the extent such pre-existing condition or waiting

period did not apply to the Employee under a comparable plan of the Company immediately prior to the Closing; (ii) provide each Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Closing for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under welfare plans or other employee benefit plans; and (iii) for all purposes (other than for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) under all compensation and benefit plans and policies applicable to the Retained Employee and Business Employees, treat all service by the Retained Employee and the Business Employees with the Company before the Closing as service with the Company, Purchaser and its Affiliates.

(c)The employment by Purchaser of the Hired Business Employees shall commence effective as of 12:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the day after the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, to the extent necessary to enable (i) Purchaser to employ the Hired Business Employees and (ii) the Hired Business Employees to service the Business as conducted by Purchaser and its Affiliates after the Closing, Seller hereby waives and agrees not to enforce the non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions of any employment or similar agreement between Seller and any of the Hired Business Employees and any provisions of such agreement that requires prior written notice by the Hired Business Employees of his or her election to voluntarily terminate his or her employment by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company. On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Retained Employee and each Hired Business Employee and all other employees who voluntarily terminate his or her employment by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company (x) all accrued but unpaid salaries, wages, commissions and bonuses earned by such employee through the Closing Date and (y) all accrued but unused sick time, vacation benefits and paid time off earned by such employee through the Closing Date. Seller agrees that neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall assume any Liabilities arising under or attributable to any Plan of the Company or arising from such termination by employees hereunder.

(d)This Section 5.6 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.6, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.6. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any Company Plan or other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 5.6 shall not create any right in any Employee or any other individual to any continued employment with the Company or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever. It is understood and agreed that (i) Purchaser’s expressed intention to extend offers of employment as set forth in this Section 5.6 shall not constitute any commitment, contract or understanding (expressed or implied) of any obligation on the part of Purchaser to a post-Closing employment relationship of any fixed term or duration or upon any terms or conditions other than those that Purchaser may establish pursuant to individual offers of employment and (ii) employment offered by Purchaser is “at will” and may be terminated by Purchaser or by an employee at any time for any reason (subject to any written commitments to the contrary made by Purchaser or an employee and applicable Law). Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent or restrict in any way the right of Purchaser to terminate, reassign, promote or demote the Retained Employee or any of the Hired Business Employees after the Closing or to change adversely or favorably the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation or terms or conditions of employment of the Retained Employee or such Hired Business Employees.

(e)Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Seller shall execute (or cause to be executed) a resolution and amendments to the Pension Plan reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and its counsel, and take all other steps necessary to have Seller or an Affiliate of Seller other than the Company assume the sponsorship of the Pension Plan.

(f)Seller shall provide any notices required under the WARN Act or similar state law.

Section 5.7 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller; provided, however, Purchaser may otherwise disclose information about the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as may be required by Law or by any listing agreement or rules with a national securities exchange or trading market (and in such case shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with such other Party prior to such release or statement) or to any Governmental Authority. The initial press release shall be published within one (1) Business Day of the execution and delivery of this Agreement. After the publication of the initial press release, until the Closing, neither Purchaser nor Seller nor any of their respective Affiliates shall issue or cause the dissemination of any press release or other public announcements or statements with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except as may be required by law or by any listing agreement with a national securities exchange or trading market (and in such case shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult the other Party prior to such release or statement).

Section 5.8 Indemnification and Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a)For a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, the Company will not amend its certificate of incorporation or by-laws in any way to reduce or eliminate the level of indemnification provided by the Company to the present and former officers and directors of the Company. This Section 5.8 and the covenants made hereunder shall survive the Closing, and are expressly intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the former or present directors and officers of the Company and their respective heirs and legal representatives. The indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such Person is entitled, whether under law, contract or otherwise. If the Company (i) consolidates with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.8.

(b)Prior to the Closing, at Seller’s election and sole cost and expense, the Company may purchase a policy or policies (i.e., “tail coverage”) covering all present and former officers and directors of the Company for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Closing Date, including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such policy, the “D&O Tail Policy”). If such D&O Tail Policy is procured, then prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser evidence of the continuation of such insurance coverages.

Section 5.9 No Solicitation of Other Bids.

(a)Seller shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall cause its Affiliates and all of its and their Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. From the date hereof through the first to occur of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX, Seller shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its Affiliates or any of its or their Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) encourage, solicit, initiate, facilitate or continue inquiries regarding an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) enter into discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to, any Person concerning a possible Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) enter into any agreements or other instruments (whether or not binding) regarding an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes hereof, “Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Purchaser or any of its Affiliates) concerning (x) a merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, share exchange or other business combination transaction involving the Company; (y) the issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock, limited liability company/membership interests or other equity securities of the Company; (z) the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of any significant portion of the Company’s properties or assets or the Fronted Homeowners Business.

(b)In addition to the other obligations under this Section 5.9(b), Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt thereof by Seller, its Affiliates or all its and their Representatives, advise Purchaser orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, any request for information with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or which could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, and the identity of the Person making the same.

(c)Seller agrees that the rights and remedies for noncompliance with this Section 5.9(c) shall include having such provision specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to Purchaser and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Purchaser

Section 5.10 Preparation for Post-Closing Operation of the Business; Further Assurances; Post-Closing Cooperation.

(a)From time to time after the Closing, without additional consideration, each of the Parties hereto will (or, if appropriate, cause their Affiliates to) execute and deliver such further instruments and take such other action as may be necessary to make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. If any Party to this Agreement following the Closing shall have in its possession any asset or right that under this Agreement should have been delivered to the other, such Party shall promptly deliver such asset or right to the other.

(b)Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall cooperate with each other, and shall cause their respective Representatives to cooperate with each other for a period of one (1) year after the Closing to ensure the orderly transition of the Business from Seller to Purchaser and to minimize any disruption to the Business and the other respective businesses of Seller and Purchaser that might result from the transactions contemplated hereby. Following the Closing, each Party will afford the other Party and its Representatives (i) such access as the other Party may reasonably request to all books, records and other data and information relating to the Company and (ii) the right to make copies and extracts therefrom at the cost of the

Party requesting such copies and extracts as is reasonably necessary (v) for financial reporting and accounting matters, (w) for other reasonable business purposes, (x) to facilitate the investigation, litigation, settlement and final disposition of any claims, including Tax claims or assessments, that may have been or may be made by or against Seller, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates or (y) in connection with any investigation by any Governmental Authority or otherwise to comply with applicable Law. The obligation to cooperate pursuant to the preceding sentence insofar as it concerns Taxes shall terminate at the time the relevant applicable statute of limitations expires (giving effect to any extension thereof). Purchaser and Seller shall reimburse the other Party for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in assisting the other Party or their respective Affiliates pursuant to this Section 5.10; provided, that if the Party incurring any such costs or expenses determines in good faith that (A) the other Party should be responsible for certain costs or expenses and (B) such costs and expenses incurred in such instance would exceed $100,000, then the Party incurring such costs or expenses shall not be obligated to incur the costs or expense unless the other Party has agreed to accept responsibility for the payment thereof within ten (10) Business Days of receiving written notice setting forth the costs and expenses and rationale for payment by the other Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall be responsible for any costs and expenses incurred in connection with transitioning the Fronted Automobile Business to any Affiliate of Seller, including without limitation the transfer of the contracts listed on Section 5.17 of the Seller Disclosure Schedules. Seller shall have no obligation to deliver any data to Purchaser if such delivery would violate any agreement with any software provider; provided, however, that such agreement is listed on the Seller Disclosure Schedule and Seller shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of any prospective violation from such third party.

(c)From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to maintain the confidence of any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning Purchaser, the Company or its business that was obtained by virtue of ownership of the Company, the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise obtained pursuant to this Section 5.10, except to the extent that Seller can show that such information (a) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives; or (b) is lawfully acquired by Seller, any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Seller is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be required by this Section 5.10 to (1) take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business or unreasonably disrupt its normal operations or (2) provide the other Party with access to its books or records (including personnel files) pursuant to this Section 5.10 where such access would violate any Law or any agreement with any third party; provided, however, that such third party agreement has been disclosed to the other Party and the disclosing Party shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver from such third party.

Section 5.11 Contact with Customers and Suppliers. Prior to the Closing, neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate, officer, director, advisor, agent, employee or other representative shall contact any employee, customer, supplier or other person having a commercial relationship with the Company without the consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d)It is the desired intent of the Parties that the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.12 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, the Parties agree that if the covenants set forth in this Section 5.12 are deemed by any court or arbitrator to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the court or arbitrator may reduce the scope thereof or otherwise amend or reform the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such reduction, amendment or reformation to apply only with respect to the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

(e)Each of the Parties acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach by Seller or its Affiliates of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 5.12 and, accordingly, Seller agrees that Purchaser shall, in addition to the other remedies that may be available to it hereunder or at law, be entitled to seek an injunction temporarily or permanently enjoining Seller and its Affiliates from breaching or threatening to breach such covenants and agreements.

The maximum liability of Seller under Section 7.2(a)(i) shall not exceed $8,550,000 in the aggregate (the “Indemnity Amount”). Purchaser shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Parties for indemnification under Section 7.3(i) unless and until the Seller Indemnified Parties have suffered, incurred, sustained or become subject to Losses referred to in Section 7.3(i) in excess of the Deductible in the aggregate (not taking into account any De Minimis Claims), in which case the Seller Indemnified Parties may bring a claim for all Losses and Purchaser shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar and the maximum liability of Purchaser under Section 7.3(i) shall not exceed the Indemnity Amount. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of (or otherwise elects to negotiate or settle or compromise) any action or claim

as described above, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such defense (or negotiation, settlement or compromise) to the extent that such costs and expenses do not exceed the amount of the remaining Deductible.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Section 7.4(a) shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect thereof: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Sections 3.1 Organization and Qualification of Seller, 3.2 Authority; Non-Contravention; Approvals, 3.3 Ownership of Shares, 3.4 Corporate Organization of the Company, 3.5 Taxes or 3.24 Brokers; (ii) any indemnification claim made by a Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii), Section 7.2(a)(iii), Section 7.2(a)(iv) or Section 8.1; (iii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Sections 4.1 Organization and Qualification, 4.2 Authority; Non-Contravention; Approvals and 4.4 Brokers; or (iv) any indemnification claim made by a Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.3(ii) or Section 7.3(iii).

(d)Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 7.3 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit actually realized as a result of, and as a result of the circumstances giving rise to, such Loss by the Indemnified Party.

(e)In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, remote or speculative damages, other than indemnification for amounts paid or payable to third parties in respect of any third party claim for which indemnification hereunder is otherwise required.

(f)Following the determination of any amount that Seller shall be obligated to indemnify, Purchaser or the Purchaser Indemnified Party, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.2 or Article VIII (other than any claims arising out of, relating to or incurred as a result of fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct), (i) Purchaser or the Purchaser Indemnified Party, as applicable, shall first, setoff such amount against any amounts owing under the Seller Note and (ii) next, to the extent such obligation to indemnify exceeds the amount Purchaser or a Purchaser Indemnified Party, as applicable, is entitled to setoff against the Seller Note and/or such obligation is not subject to the Indemnity Amount, Seller shall promptly pay to Purchaser or the Purchaser Indemnified Party, as applicable, any remainder of such excess.

Section 7.5 Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under this Article VII shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a)If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of Purchaser or the Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 7.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and

expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.5(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 7.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party.

(c)Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim, except for any Direct Claim based on a breach of Section 5.12, in which case such response shall be within two (2) days. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)Nothing in this Section 7.5 shall operate to in any way to restrict or limit the ability and timing for Seller or Purchaser to seek specific performance as provided in Section 10.10 for a Party’s failure to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement.

(e)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.5 hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article VIII) shall be governed exclusively by Article VIII hereof, and, for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations under Section 7.4 shall not apply to such Tax matters.

Section 7.6 Character of Indemnity Payments. The Parties agree that any indemnification payments made with respect to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 7.7 Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 10.10, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VIII and this Article VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant

to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VIII and this Article VII. Nothing in this Section 7.7 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

Section 7.8 Insurance Proceeds. Any Losses shall be computed net of any insurance proceeds actually received by an Indemnified Party (less any of deductibles, co-payments or other costs incurred by the Indemnified Person (including increased insurance premiums) in seeking such collection).

ARTICLES VIII

TAXES

Section 8.1 Tax Indemnity.

(a)Purchaser shall be permitted to recover from Seller and from time to time, Taxes as provided in paragraph (b) hereof.

(b)Purchaser shall be entitled to recover the following Taxes: (i) all Taxes with respect to taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Periods”) and (ii) all Taxes with respect to taxable periods beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (“Straddle Periods”) to the extent that such Taxes are allocable to the period prior to Closing pursuant to this Agreement; provided that, Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover Taxes resulting from (x) a Code Section 338 election with respect to Purchaser’s purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (y) any transactions occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing outside of the ordinary course of business. Such obligations shall be without regard to whether there was any breach of any representation or warranty under Article III with respect to such Tax or any disclosures that may have been made with respect to Article III or otherwise. The indemnification obligations provided for herein shall apply even if the additional Tax liability results from the filing of a Tax Return or amended Tax Return with respect to a pre-Closing Date transaction or period (or portion of a period) by Purchaser, provided that Purchaser shall not cause or permit the Company to file an amended Tax Return with respect to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or any Straddle Period unless (y) Seller consents in its sole discretion or (z) Purchaser obtains a legal opinion from counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller that such amended return is legally required to be filed.

(c)For purposes of this Agreement:

(i)In the case of any gross receipts, income, sales, or similar Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes allocable to (A) the Pre-Closing Tax Period and (B) the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on the day next succeeding the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Tax Period”) shall be determined on the basis of a deemed closing at the end of the Closing Date of the books and records of the Company.

(ii)In the case of any Taxes (other than gross receipts, income, sales, or similar Taxes) that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the product of the sum of all such Taxes multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period from the commencement of the Straddle Period through and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; provided, however, that appropriate adjustments shall be made to reflect specific events that can be identified and specifically allocated as occurring on or prior to the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period) or occurring after the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to the Post-Closing Tax Period).

(iii)All payments due from Seller with respect to Taxes for which Seller have provided an indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement shall be made within ten (10) Business Days of the earlier to occur of: (i) an agreement by Seller and Purchaser as to Seller’s liabilities for such Taxes, (ii) the due date of the payment for the Taxes allocable to Seller pursuant to this Section 8.1, provided that Purchaser has notified Seller of such due date at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to such due date or (iii) Seller’s receipt of notice of an assessment of such a Tax liability by a Tax Authority. Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offset any Taxes for which Seller has provided an indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement against the Seller Note.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall not be responsible for, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover from Seller, any Taxes to the extent such Taxes were reflected as a liability taken into account in the calculation of a Seller Post-Closing Adjustment

Section 8.2 Post-Closing Tax Matters.

(a)Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company that are filed after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall permit Seller to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing, and Purchaser shall make all changes reasonably requested by Seller in good faith (unless Purchaser is advised in writing by its independent outside accountants or attorneys that such changes (A) are contrary to applicable Law, or (B) will, or are likely to, have a material adverse effect on Purchaser, the Company, or any of their Affiliates after the Closing). In the event that Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree on the reporting of any item on such Tax Returns, Purchaser and Seller shall mutually choose an independent public accounting firm to resolve such dispute, and the decision of such firm shall be final. Expenses of such independent public accounting firm shall be born evenly between Purchaser and Seller.

(b)Any Taxes for Straddle Periods shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser in the manner set forth in Section 8.1 hereof.

(c)Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making their respective employees, outside consultants, and advisors (including but not limited to freight forwarders and advisors with respect to customs duties) available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and the cost of the requesting Party. Purchaser and Seller agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or Seller, any extensions of the statute of limitations) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority, and (ii) to give the other Parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if any of the other Parties so requests, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records.

(d)Purchaser agrees to give prompt notice to Seller of any Taxes or the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 8.1 (a “Tax Proceeding”), and will give Seller such information with respect thereto as Seller may reasonably request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the sole right to control and make all decisions regarding any Tax Proceeding for a Straddle or Post-Closing Period, including selection of counsel and selection of a forum for such contest, provided, however, that in the event such audit or proceeding relates to Taxes for which Seller has indemnified Purchaser, (i) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in the conduct of any audit or proceeding relating to such period, (ii) Purchaser shall be entitled to setoff against the Seller Note for its reasonable internal and external costs relating to such audit, (iii) Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in such audit or proceeding at Seller’s expense, and (iv) Purchaser shall not enter into any agreement with the relevant Tax Authority pertaining to such Taxes without the written consent of Seller, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Purchaser may, without the written consent of Seller, enter into such an agreement, provided that Purchaser shall have agreed to accept liability for the payment of such Taxes and to forego any indemnification or other claim under this Agreement with respect to such Taxes. Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) upon written request to Purchaser, to control and make all decisions regarding any Tax Proceeding for any Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that (x) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in the conduct of any audit or proceeding relating to such period, (y) Seller shall consult with Purchaser with respect to such Tax Proceeding and Purchaser shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate and employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by Seller and (z) Seller shall not enter into any agreement with the relevant Tax Authority pertaining to Taxes not indemnified by Seller (including but not limited to any such agreement that would increase the Company’s Taxes for a Post-Closing Tax Period) without the written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 8.3 Transfer Taxes. Purchaser and Seller shall each be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of any transfer taxes imposed by any foreign, federal, state, local or other taxing body as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser agrees that it shall pay all such transfer taxes and, to the extent Purchaser pays Seller’s portion of such transfer taxes, Purchaser shall be entitled to be setoff against the Seller Note of such amounts.

Section 8.4 Tax Sharing Agreements. All tax sharing agreements or arrangements among and between Seller and the Company, whether or not written, if any, shall be terminated immediately prior to the Closing Date and shall have no continuing force or effect. Seller and the Company shall, unless otherwise directed by Purchaser, terminate any power of attorney granted by or on behalf of Seller or the Company, and any such terminated power of attorney shall have no continuing force or effect after the Closing Date.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned, at any time prior to the Closing by:

(a)the mutual written agreement of Seller and Purchaser;

(b)either Seller or Purchaser if any court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental

(c) Authority shall have issued a statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or injunction or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting all or any portion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or injunction or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall have performed in all material respects its obligations under this Agreement at the time of such termination;

(d)Seller or Purchaser (but only so long as Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement at such time), in the event of a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement by the non-terminating Party, which breach (i) cannot be or has not been cured by such non-terminating Party within twenty (20) Business Days following written notification thereof by the terminating Party or (ii) would entitle the terminating Party not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby under Article VI; or

(e)Seller or Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before nine (9) months from the date of this Agreement, unless the failure to consummate the Closing is due to the failure to act by the terminating Party (or its Affiliates).

Section 9.2 Termination Due to Burdensome Condition.

(a)If the Domiciliary Regulator has imposed, or communicated in writing to Purchaser that it will impose, one or more Purchaser Burdensome Conditions, then Purchaser shall confirm in writing to Seller within thirty (30) days following the first to occur of the imposition of such Purchaser Burdensome Condition(s) or receipt of a written communication of such Purchaser Burdensome Condition(s) (the “Purchaser Review Period”) as to whether Purchaser will (a) accept such Purchaser Burdensome Condition(s) for purposes of satisfying the condition set forth in Section 6.1(a)(i) or (b) not accept such Purchaser Burdensome Condition(s). If Purchaser does not accept such Purchaser Burdensome Condition(s) or if Seller has not received written confirmation from Purchaser that it will accept the Purchaser Burdensome Condition(s) by the expiration of the Purchaser Review Period, then either Party may terminate this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned.

(b)If the Domiciliary Regulator has imposed, or communicated in writing to Seller that it will impose, one or more Seller Burdensome Conditions, then Seller shall confirm in writing to Purchaser within thirty (30) days following the first to occur of the imposition of such Seller Burdensome Condition(s) or receipt of a written communication of such Seller Burdensome Condition(s) (the “Seller Review Period”) as to whether Seller will (a) accept such Seller Burdensome Condition(s) for purposes of satisfying the condition set forth in Section 6.1(a)(ii) or (b) not accept such Seller Burdensome Condition(s). If Seller does not accept such Seller Burdensome Condition(s) or if Purchaser has not received written confirmation from Seller that it will accept the Seller Burdensome Condition(s) by the expiration of the Seller Review Period, then either Party may terminate this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned.

Section 9.3 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Sections 9.1 or 9.2, this Agreement will forthwith become null and void, and have no further effect, without any liability on the part of any Party hereto or its Affiliates or Representatives, other than the provisions of this Section 9.3 and Article X hereof. Nothing contained in this Section 9.3 shall relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to termination.

SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTE

$8,550,000 [__________], 2015

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, United Insurance Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to the order of Interboro LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Holder”), the principal sum of EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($8,550,000), subject to downward adjustment as provided herein (“Principal”), together with interest thereon pursuant to the terms of this Subordinated Promissory Note (this “Note”).

1.Stock Purchase Agreement. This Note represents a portion of the consideration payable to Holder by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated September 26, 2015, by and between the Company and the Holder (“Stock Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

2.Interest Rate Provisions.

2.1 Interest Rate. From the date of this Note until the repayment of this Note in full, interest shall accrue on the Principal outstanding from time to time at the fixed rate of 6% per annum (as the same may be adjusted in accordance with Sections 2.2 hereof, the “Pay Rate”).

2.2 Calculation of Interest. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year on the actual number of days elapsed.

2.3 Limit of Validity. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Note, the Holder does not intend to charge, and the Company shall not be required to pay, any interest or other fees or charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable Law. Any payments in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to the Company or credited to reduce the then outstanding Principal hereunder.

3.Payment Provisions.

3.1 Payment at Maturity. Subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.6 and unless there is a pending indemnification claim contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, on the date that is eighteen (18) months from the date of this Note (the “Maturity Date”), the entire then outstanding amount of Principal, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, shall be due and payable in full without further notice or demand and the Company shall pay such amount. If there is any pending indemnification claim under the Stock Purchase Agreement, then the Maturity Date shall be extended until such claim is no longer outstanding and the amounts payable at the Maturity Date shall be subject to downward adjustment as contemplated by Section 3.6 hereof.

3.2 Optional Prepayments. The Company shall have the option to prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time in its sole discretion without penalty.

3.3 Business Day. If any payment of Principal or interest on this Note is due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be taken into account in calculating the amount of interest payable under this Note. “Business Day” means any day other than a day on which commercial banks located in New York, New York are authorized or required to be closed for the conduct of regular banking business.

3.4 Payments in General. All payments and prepayments by the Company to Holder (if any) shall

be applied first, to interest (including prepaid interest), and thereafter to unpaid Principal. All payments shall be in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds.

3.5 Right of Setoff. This Note and the Company’s obligations hereunder are expressly subject to all rights of the Company pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. Without limiting any other rights of the Company hereunder or under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company shall have the right, in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, to withhold and setoff against any amount due hereunder, or, at the Company’s option and in the Company’s sole discretion, to reduce the amount of the outstanding Principal, by the amount of all or part of any Loss relating to a claim for indemnification to which the Company or any Purchaser Indemnified Party may be entitled under the Stock Purchase Agreement. If the Company decides to setoff the Principal amount of this Note, then it shall provide Seller written notice (“Notice”) of such setoff and the amount, whereupon the Principal shall be automatically reduced by the amount set forth in such Notice. In the event that it is determined by agreement between the Company and Seller or by a court of competent jurisdictions that the Company was not entitled to setoff all or part of any Loss relating to a claim for indemnification against any amount due hereunder or to reduce the amount of the outstanding Principal amount of this Note, interest shall accrue hereunder with respect to all or part of any Loss so determined as if the outstanding Principal hereunder was never reduced.

3.6 Cancellation. After all obligations for the payment of money arising under this Note have been paid in full or amounts payable setoff as contemplated by Section 3.6 hereof (whichever occurs first), this Note will be promptly surrendered by Holder to the Company for cancellation.

4.Subordination. Any right of Holder to payment of Principal or interest from the Company shall be subordinated to all claims and rights that any financial institution may now or hereafter extend financing to the Company, including but not limited to the holders of Senior Debt. “Senior Debt” means all indebtedness of the Company outstanding from time to time that is designated either secured or senior debt at the time it is incurred. Upon any failure to pay principal or interest when due under any Senior Debt or any other occurrence of an Event of Default under any Senior Debt, any payment of Principal or interest to Holder shall be collected, enforced or received by Holder as trustee for and paid over to any holders of the Senior Debt. Holder agrees that in the event of any payment of Principal or interest by the Company to Holder by reason of any receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, or proceeding for reorganization or readjustment of the Company or its properties, or otherwise, then, in any such event, the holders of Senior Debt shall be preferred in the payment of their claims over the claim of Holder to payment of Principal or interest, and the claims of the holders of Senior Debt shall be first paid and satisfied in full before any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property, shall be made to Holder.

5.Default and Remedies. The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an event of default (each, an “Event of Default”) hereunder:

5.1 the Company’s failure to pay and/or deliver when due any amounts owed hereunder and such failure shall continue unremedied for ten (10) Business Days following receipt by the Company of written notice of such failure from Holder;

5.2 the Company shall fail to perform any covenant contained in this Note and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days following receipt by the Company of written notice of such failure from Holder; or

5.3 the Company (a) becomes insolvent, (b) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (c) applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its assets or business or such a receiver or trustee is otherwise appointed, (d) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or (e) institutes or has instituted against it, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy law or any law for the relief of debtor.

The Company shall notify Holder in writing within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon an Event of Default, except an Event of Default under Section 5.3, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, the Holder may, at its option, by notice to the Company declare the entire principal amount then outstanding under this Note to be immediately due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal amount so declared to be due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including at the Default Rate (as defined below)) shall become forthwith immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind and regardless of any prior forbearance, and the Company shall pay such amount. Upon an Event of Default described in Section 5.3, the principal amount then outstanding under this Note shall automatically become immediately due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including at the Default Rate), without presentment demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, regardless of any prior forbearance, and the Company shall pay such amount. If an Event of Default shall occur, the Company shall pay interest on the Principal at an annual rate of twelve percent (12%) (computed on the basis of a year of 365 days) (the

“Default Rate”), for the period from (and including) the date on which such Event of Default first existed to (but excluding) the date on which: (a) the principal, and any accrued interest on this Note is paid by the Company to the Holder in full, or (b) the date on which such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived (it being acknowledged by the Company that: (i) the Holder shall be under no obligation to waive any such Event of Default, and (ii) the imposition of interest at the applicable Default Rate shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of any rights or remedies of the Holder arising out of any such Event of Default). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5, any acceleration of this Note pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to the rights of the Company pursuant to Section 3.6 above.

6.Successors and Assigns. The rights of the Holder under this Note may not be assigned by the Holder without prior written consent of the Company. The rights and obligations of the Company under this Note may not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of the Holder. The rights and obligations of the Holder and the Company under this Note shall apply to, bind and inure to the benefit of their successors and permitted assigns.

7.Notices. All notices and other communications given hereunder shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

8.Amendments. This Note may be amended, supplemented or modified only by a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Holder and the Company.

9.Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part or in any respect or in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Note operate or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Note, then and in any such event, such provision(s) only shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect any other provision of this Note and the remaining provisions of this Note shall remain operative and in full force and effect and in no way shall be affected, prejudiced, or disturbed thereby.

10.Enforcement. The Company shall reimburse the Holder for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other expenses incurred or sustained by the Holder in connection with or related to the Holder’s collection of the principal or any accrued interest on this Note, including without limitation such fees, costs, and expenses related to any action or proceeding or any action in bankruptcy related to enforcement or collection of this Note.

11.Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The rights and remedies of the parties to this Note are cumulative and not alternative. Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Note or any of the documents referred to in this Note will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

WHEREAS, Interboro has issued certain automotive insurance policies, itemized in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement; all such Interboro policies, including all declarations, amendments and endorsements thereto, if any, are referred to herein as the “Policies”; all those Policies that are in force or bound on the Effective Date are referred to as the “Active Policies”; and all those Policies that, as of any date before the Effective Date, lapsed, expired, or were canceled or surrendered are referred to as the “Expired Policies”; and

WHEREAS, in consideration of Interboro’s payment of the Premium (as defined below), and its assignment of all rights to future policyholder premiums for the Policies to AutoOne, the Parties have agreed to transfer all liability with respect to the Policies to AutoOne, and to novate the Active Policies by substituting AutoOne for Interboro as insurer thereunder, such that, as of the Effective Date, AutoOne will (a) assume all of Interboro’s interests, rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities under the Active Policies, and (b) reinsure one hundred percent (100%) of Interboro’s risks, liabilities and obligations under the Expired Policies and the Opt-Out Policies (as defined below).

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and/or other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound in contract, hereby agree as follows:

Section 1.Novation and Assumption

1.1 Excepting only those Active Policies for which the Policyholder (as defined below) effectively rejects the transfer and novation as provided elsewhere herein (such rejected Policies, the “Opt-Out Policies”), this Agreement is intended to effect a novation of all Active Policies (such novated Active Policies, the “Novated Policies”), and of Interboro’s rights and obligations thereunder and AutoOne’s concurrent succeeding to such rights and assuming such obligations (the “Novation”). The effective date of the Novation, to be specified in the Policyholder notices sent pursuant to Section 3.1, is referred to herein as the “Novation Date.” The Parties shall cooperate and exercise their reasonable efforts to cause the Novation Date to coincide with the Effective Date.

1.2 As of the Novation Date, AutoOne hereby irrevocably assumes as exclusive liabilities and obligations of AutoOne to the policyholders, all interests, rights, privileges, duties, obligations, defenses and Policy Liabilities (as defined below) of Interboro under the Novated Policies and hereby agrees to pay, perform and discharge such duties, obligations, and Policy Liabilities as and when due in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions and exclusions of the Novated Policies.

1.3 As of the Novation Date, Interboro hereby irrevocably assigns to AutoOne all of Interboro’s rights, title, and interest in, to and under the Novated Policies, including without limitation Policyholder receivables and all recoveries and recoverables related to the Novated Policies, existing as of or arising on or after the Novation Date, and/or under applicable law together with all books, records, files, data, renewal information, underwriting information, claim information and any other relevant data or records related to such Novated Policies (the “Records”).

1.4 AutoOne is hereby irrevocably designated the successor to Interboro under the Novated Policies as if such Novated Policies, from and after the Novation Date, were direct obligations of AutoOne. AutoOne substitutes itself as of the Novation Date in the place and stead of Interboro as if named in the Novated Policies in place of Interboro.

1.5 As of the Effective Date, Interboro hereby cedes to AutoOne, and AutoOne hereby assumes and reinsures from Interboro, one hundred percent (100%) of Interboro’s Policy Liabilities under the Expired Policies and the Opt-Out Policies.

1.6 AutoOne shall have the full benefit of any and all defenses, setoffs and counterclaims to which Interboro would be entitled with respect to any of the Policy Liabilities, it being expressly understood and agreed by the Parties that no such defenses, setoffs or counterclaims are waived or relinquished by execution of this Agreement or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and that, as of the Effective Date, AutoOne shall be fully subrogated to all such defenses, setoffs and counterclaims.

1.7 Subject to Section 6.3 of this Agreement, AutoOne will be responsible for handing, adjusting and paying, as and when due, claims for losses covered and payable under the Policies. Interboro shall be responsible for notifying AutoOne in writing of any claim received or the commencement of any legal proceedings against Interboro with respect to such claim within five (5) business days. From and after the Effective Date, AutoOne shall have the exclusive right to conduct and control the defense of any claim for loss or benefits under the Policies, regardless of the date of occurrence or claim report, and to settle all such claims. All adjustments, payments, and settlements by AutoOne of claims and losses under the Policies shall be binding on Interboro.

The term “Policy Liabilities” shall mean the gross liability of Interboro for losses arising from or related to the Policies (excluding liabilities to the extent paid or otherwise discharged by Interboro prior to the Effective Date) before deduction for all applicable cessions, if any, under any reinsurance agreements. Policy Liabilities shall also include the following if not paid or otherwise discharged by Interboro prior to the Effective Date):

(a)all liability for premium taxes on premiums arising from or related to the Policies, received by Interboro on or after the Effective Date and actually remitted to AutoOne;

(b)all liability in connection with the participation by Interboro, whether involuntary or voluntary, in any guaranty fund, assigned risk plan or other government mandated programs or associations of any kind established or governed by the state of Interboro’s domicile or any other state or jurisdiction, which participation is based on premiums arising under the Policies, received by Interboro on or after the Effective Date and actually remitted to AutoOne;

(c)all liability for any assessments, residual market loads or similar charges, whether based on losses, premiums or otherwise, arising from or related to the Policies which become payable on or after the Effective Date;

(d)all liability for returns or refunds of premiums arising from or related to the Policies which become payable on or after the Effective Date;

(e)all liability for any fees of third party administrators of the Policies which become payable for services first rendered on or after the Effective Date;

(f)all liability (to the extent permitted by law) for consequential, exemplary, punitive or similar damages which arise from or relate to any alleged or actual act, error or omission by Interboro, whether intentional or otherwise, or from any reckless conduct or bad faith by Interboro in connection with the handling or settlement of any claim under any of the Policies or in connection with the preparation, issuance, delivery or cancellation of any of the Policies; and

(g)all liability for payments for any loss not covered under the written terms of a Policy, including any commercial accommodations.

Section 2. Premium

2.1 Interboro shall pay AutoOne a premium in the amount of $[___________] in cash (the “Premium”), which is an amount equal to the net statutory reserves (net of third party reinsurance and any receivables from involuntary pools or associations) of Interboro with respect to the Policies, including loss reserves (including case reserves and reserves for losses incurred but not reported), loss adjustment expense reserves, and unearned premium reserves, calculated as of the Effective Date in accordance with statutory accounting principles.

2.2 Within 60 days after the Effective Date, the Parties will perform a true-up of the Premium to account for any differences between estimates used at the Effective Date and the actual balances at such date, including without limitation to adjust for any difference between the Effective Date and Novation Date.

2.3 Payment of the Premium shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of AutoOne designated in writing to Interboro by AutoOne on the Effective Date. AutoOne’s receipt of the full amount of the Premium shall be a condition precedent to AutoOne being liable under the Policies and to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

2.4 On the Novation Date, AutoOne will place an amount equal to 110% of the unearned premium and loss (including incurred but not reported losses) and loss adjustment expense reserve balances related to the Policies into a Regulation 114 trust account with a commercial bank reasonably acceptable to Interboro for the benefit of Interboro (“Collateral”). AutoOne shall be required at all times to maintain collateral equal to 110% of the unearned premium and loss (including incurred but not reported losses) and loss adjustment expense reserve balances of the Policies. AutoOne shall in good faith determine the amount of Collateral required every fiscal quarter and shall ensure that the loss (including incurred but not reported loss) and loss adjustment expense reserves used to calculate such Collateral requirements (i) have been prepared in accordance with the statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department (as defined below), applied on a consistent basis, except where such accounting practices have been amended, supplemented or otherwise prescribed by the appropriate governmental authority and (ii) were determined using generally accepted actuarial principles consistently applied and actuarial assumptions that were in accordance with or more conservative than those called for in the relevant regulatory policy.

2.5 For the avoidance of doubt, AutoOne’s aggregate liability for the Policies is not limited to the amount of Collateral in place at any time. Such Collateral is only meant to secure AutoOne’s obligations under Sections 1.2 and 1.5.

Section 3. Notice to Policyholders and Other Procedures

3.1 As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Interboro and AutoOne shall jointly send written notice to each policyholder (the “Policyholder”) with respect to the Active Policies, informing those Policyholders of the novation of the Active Policies, their assignment and transfer to AutoOne, the assumption of the obligations under the Active Policies by AutoOne, and the resulting release of Interboro, subject only to timely rejection of the novation of a given Active Policy by its Policyholder, and providing information regarding where to send premium payments and how to contact AutoOne, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, or such other form approved or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services (“Department”). Interboro and AutoOne may elect to send a similar follow-up or reminder notice.

3.2 Upon expiration of the notice period, or after any other indication of consent or lack of objection to the novation, as to any Active Policy, AutoOne may send a suitable endorsement to that Policy’s Policyholder, in substance substituting AutoOne as the insurer under that Policy, in a form approved or permitted by the Department.

3.3 If it has not already done so sooner, immediately after executing this Agreement, Interboro shall deliver, to each of its reinsurers that reinsures any coverage or risk under the Policies or any of them, any notice and any other information regarding this Agreement and the transactions for which it provides that the governing reinsurance agreement requires or the reinsurer thereunder reasonably requests, and shall immediately request any consent or approval required thereunder, all such consents and approvals to be effective no later than as of the Effective Date. Interboro hereby represents and warrants that no such reinsurance agreement prohibits the Novation, assumption, reinsurance, or other arrangement provided for herein, and that all coverage and recoverables under all such reinsurance agreements will remain valid and in full force and effect notwithstanding the transactions for which this Agreement provides.

3.4 Interboro represents and warrants that it has delivered to AutoOne a complete and accurate itemization of and data about the Policies, in such detail and format as reasonably AutoOne reasonably requests. The Expired Policies so itemized and subject to this Agreement shall include only those Expired Policies as to which, at the Effective Date, Interboro carries any reserve, or under which there then is, or later comes to be, a reported or open claim, a coverage dispute, or any pending or expressly threatened litigation, or as to which there then is or later comes to be any other known contingent or additional liability. No later than the Effective Date, Interboro shall deliver to AutoOne the originals or complete copies of all of its Records concerning the Policies, in form and format to which the parties agree. The Parties shall cooperate diligently and in good faith to effectuate a prompt and smooth transition of servicing of all Policies, including policy administration and claims handling and payment as appropriate.

3.5 From and after the Effective Date, Interboro shall have no authority to take any action with respect to the Policies, and shall not do so or purport to do so, except at the express prior consent, request, or direction of AutoOne. Interboro

shall promptly remit to AutoOne, in full and without deduction or setoff, any and all premiums or other consideration it receives or collects respecting the Policies, and all recoveries thereon by way of subrogation, reinsurance, or otherwise, and shall refer and forward to AutoOne, in such means and manner as AutoOne reasonably requests, all communications regarding any of the Policies, whether from Policyholders, producers, claimants, adjusters, regulators, lawyers for any of them, or other persons.

Section 4. Policy Administration

4.1 From and after the Effective Date, or as soon practicable thereafter as the Parties, exercising their reasonable efforts and deliberate speed, can achieve, AutoOne shall assume and perform, at its expense, all duties and responsibilities for administering and servicing the Policies, including without limitation: handling communications with Policyholders, other claimants, producers, and their representatives; processing, adjusting, settling and paying claims; amendments and endorsements to and cancellations or renewals of Policies; and supervising and controlling defense and settlement of any legal proceedings or other dispute resolution procedures respecting claims or other litigation or disputes relating to any Policies. Interboro shall cooperate upon AutoOne’s reasonable request in all such matters.

4.2 Interboro shall promptly deliver to AutoOne, in such manner and place as it specifies from time to time, all communications relating to any Policy or this Agreement (and not exclusively concerning a matter for which AutoOne can have no responsibility or liability), and any and all payments, compensation, or recoveries in respect of any Policy, received from Policyholders, claimants, producers, reinsurers regulatory authorities, and any other person.

4.3 Before the Effective Date, Interboro shall furnish to Parent and AutoOne copies of any contracts for policies or claims servicing or handling relating to any of the Policies. As of the Effective Date, except as Parent otherwise instructs or permits in writing, Interboro at it expense shall terminate all such agreements at they relate to the Policies (but not so far as such an agreement relates to business of Interboro apart from the Policies). At the request of Parent or AutoOne, Interboro shall use its reasonable efforts to assign to AutoOne, as of the Effective Date, any such agreement as it relates to some or all Policies.

4.4 From and after the Effective Date, AutoOne shall periodically furnish loss runs and other usual reports and data relating to the claims and losses and any other relevant activity under the Expired Policies and the Opt-Out Policies. AutoOne and Interboro shall cooperate and consult in good faith in deciding the frequency, form, and content of such reports, so that both can maintain appropriate books, records and accounts and can prepare and, as needed, file financial statements and furnish needed data and records to their accountants, auditors, and regulators. Similarly the Parties shall cooperate in good faith so that Interboro can and will submit all required data and reports to its reinsurers that reinsure any risks under any Policies and so that Interboro and AutoOne can seek and obtain all proper recoveries thereunder.

4.5 In event of any regulatory examination, or governmental inquiry or investigation, or any legal proceeding relating to this Agreement, the transactions it contemplates, or any of the Policies, the Parties shall cooperate, each at its own expense and in consultation with its own counsel and other advisors, in a manner that will enable the Party that is subject to such process or proceeding to respond appropriately to requests, demands or legal process calling for access to or production of information or documents, but this provision shall in no event obligate any party to waive or relinquish any evidentiary privilege or other legal or equitable right or remedy.

4.6 Interboro or its representatives, upon one (1) business day’s advance written notice, shall be entitled to access, review, or audit, at Interboro’s sole expense, the relevant books and records of AutoOne relating to the Policies during normal business hours. To the extent necessary to carry out the terms of this Agreement, AutoOne, at its sole expense, shall be entitled to access and review of Interboro’s records as they pertain to the Policies.

4.7 For so long as AutoOne is liable under any of the Novated Policies, it shall remain duly licensed and authorized as an admitted insurer to transact property and casualty insurance business in the State of New York and to transact the lines of insurance applicable to the Novated Policies, and remain in compliance with New York law, rules, and regulations governing its insurance business, and with this Agreement. If AutoOne becomes subject to any regulatory discipline, financial impairment or insolvency issues, AutoOne shall promptly so inform Interboro.

4.8 As AutoOne will become the insurer under all Novated Policies, from and after the Novation Date it shall be solely responsible, as to the Novated Policies, for rates and forms (including without limitations all needed filings and approvals thereof), and for any and all cancellations, renewals, extensions, amendments, and endorsements, and all offers of renewal or replacement policies shall be on AutoOne’s policy forms and rates then in use for the purpose. As Interboro will remain the insurer under all other Policies, including specifically the Opt-out Policies, Interboro’s currently approved and in use rates and forms will continue to be used for such Policies. So far as applicable law and the terms of Opt-out Policies permit, in connection

with scheduled expiration of any Opt-out Policy, or as and when requested or allowed by its applicable Policyholder or an agent of record therefor, AutoOne shall offer to renew or replace an Opt-out Policy with an AutoOne policy using its forms and rates then in effect.

4.9 At the request of AutoOne, Interboro will exercise reasonable efforts to assign to AutoOne any producer contract in effect on the Effective Date and relating to any of the Policies. Promptly after the Effective Date, Interboro and AutoOne will cooperate to inform the record agents for Policyholders of the Active Policies about the Novation.

Section 5. NYDFS Approval

5.1 The Parties recognize and acknowledge that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been submitted for review and have been approved by the Department in connection with a change of control of AutoOne pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

Re:	[policy number/identifier]

Dear Policyholder:

This notice is to inform you that Interboro Insurance Company (“Interboro”) has agreed to the transfer of insurance coverage by novation of your policy to AutoOne Insurance Company (“AutoOne”), effective as of [_______________] NTD: To be discussed with the Department. (the “Novation Date”). This means that AutoOne will be designated the successor in interest to, and substituted in the place of, Interboro as if AutoOne were the original insurer.

EXHIBIT D

NOVATION AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

This NOVATION AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), effective as of [________], 2015 (the “Effective Date”), is by and among Maidstone Insurance Company, a New York domiciled insurance company (“Maidstone”), Interboro Insurance Company, a New York domiciled insurance company (“Interboro”), and United Insurance Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”). Maidstone, Interboro and Parent are each a “Party” to this Agreement, and collectively they are referred to herein as the “Parties”.

WHEREAS, Parent entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Interboro LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), dated September 26, 2015 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Parent will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Interboro;

WHEREAS, Maidstone, an indirect subsidiary of Seller, is entering into this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement;

WHEREAS, Maidstone has issued certain homeowners insurance policies, itemized in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement; all such Maidstone policies, including all declarations, amendments and endorsements thereto, if any, are referred to herein as the “Policies”; all those Policies that are in force or bound on the Effective Date are referred to as the “Active Policies”; and all those Policies that, as of any date before the Effective Date, lapsed, expired, or were canceled or surrendered are referred to as the “Expired Policies”; and

WHEREAS, in consideration of Maidstone’s payment of the Premium (as defined below), and its assignment of all rights to future policyholder premiums for the Policies to Interboro, the Parties have agreed to transfer all liability with respect to the Policies to Interboro, and to novate the Active Policies by substituting Interboro for Maidstone as insurer thereunder, such that, as of the Effective Date, Interboro will (a) assume all of Maidstone’s interests, rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities under the Active Policies, and (b) reinsure one hundred percent (100%) of Maidstone’s risks, liabilities and obligations under the Expired Policies and the Opt-Out Policies (as defined below).

Section 1.Novation and Assumption

1.1 Excepting only those Active Policies for which the Policyholder (as defined below) effectively rejects the transfer and novation as provided elsewhere herein (such rejected Policies, the “Opt-Out Policies”), this Agreement is intended to effect a novation of all Active Policies (such novated Active Policies, the “Novated Policies”), and of Maidstone’s rights and obligations thereunder and Interboro’s concurrent succeeding to such rights and assuming such obligations (the “Novation”). The effective date of the Novation, to be specified in the Policyholder notices sent pursuant to Section 3.1, is referred to herein as the “Novation Date.” The Parties shall cooperate and exercise their reasonable efforts to cause the Novation Date to coincide with the Effective Date.

1.2 As of the Novation Date, Interboro hereby irrevocably assumes as exclusive liabilities and obligations of Interboro to the policyholders, all interests, rights, privileges, duties, obligations, defenses and Policy Liabilities (as defined below) of Maidstone under the Novated Policies and hereby agrees to pay, perform and discharge such duties, obligations, and Policy Liabilities as and when due in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions and exclusions of the Novated Policies.

1.3 As of the Novation Date, Maidstone hereby irrevocably assigns to Interboro all of Maidstone’s rights, title, and interest in, to and under the Novated Policies, including without limitation Policyholder receivables and all recoveries and recoverables related to the Novated Policies, existing as of or arising on or after the Novation Date, and/or under applicable law together with all books, records, files, data, renewal information, underwriting information, claim information and any other relevant data or records related to such Novated Policies (the “Records”).

1.4 Interboro is hereby irrevocably designated the successor to Maidstone under the Novated Policies as if such Novated Policies, from and after the Novation Date, were direct obligations of Interboro. Interboro substitutes itself as of the Novation Date in the place and stead of Maidstone as if named in the Novated Policies in place of Maidstone.

1.5 As of the Effective Date, Maidstone hereby cedes to Interboro, and Interboro hereby assumes and reinsures from Maidstone, one hundred percent (100%) of Maidstone’s Policy Liabilities under the Expired Policies and the Opt-Out Policies.

1.6 Interboro shall have the full benefit of any and all defenses, setoffs and counterclaims to which Maidstone would be entitled with respect to any of the Policy Liabilities, it being expressly understood and agreed by the Parties that no such defenses, setoffs or counterclaims are waived or relinquished by execution of this Agreement or consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and that, as of the Effective Date, Interboro shall be fully subrogated to all such defenses, setoffs and counterclaims.

1.7 Subject to Section 6.3 and Section 6.4 of this Agreement, Interboro will be responsible for handing, adjusting and paying, as and when due, claims for losses covered and payable under the Policies. Maidstone shall be responsible for notifying Interboro in writing of any claim received or the commencement of any legal proceedings against Maidstone with respect to such claim within five (5) business days. From and after the Effective Date, Interboro shall have the exclusive right to conduct and control the defense of any claim for loss or benefits under the Policies, regardless of the date of occurrence or claim report, and to settle all such claims. All adjustments, payments, and settlements by Interboro of claims and losses under the Policies shall be binding on Maidstone.

The term “Policy Liabilities” shall mean the gross liability of Maidstone for losses arising from or related to the Policies (excluding liabilities to the extent paid or otherwise discharged by Maidstone prior to the Effective Date) before deduction for all applicable cessions, if any, under any reinsurance agreements. Policy Liabilities shall also include the following if not paid or otherwise discharged by Maidstone prior to the Effective Date):

(a)all liability for premium taxes on premiums arising from or related to the Policies, received by Maidstone on or after the Effective Date and actually remitted to Interboro;

(b)all liability in connection with the participation by Maidstone, whether involuntary or voluntary, in any guaranty fund, assigned risk plan or other government mandated programs or associations of any kind established or governed by the state of Maidstone’s domicile or any other state or jurisdiction, which participation is based on premiums arising under the Policies, received by Maidstone on or after the Effective Date and actually remitted to Interboro;

(d)all liability for returns or refunds of premiums arising from or related to the Policies which become payable on or after the Effective Date;

(e)all liability for any fees of third party administrators of the Policies which become payable for services first rendered on or after the Effective Date;

(f)all liability (to the extent permitted by law) for consequential, exemplary, punitive or similar damages which arise from or relate to any alleged or actual act, error or omission by Maidstone, whether intentional or otherwise, or from any reckless conduct or bad faith by Maidstone in connection with the handling or settlement of any claim under any of the Policies or in connection with the preparation, issuance, delivery or cancellation of any of the Policies; and

(g)all liability for payments for any loss not covered under the written terms of a Policy, including any commercial accommodations.

Section 2.Premium

2.1 Maidstone shall pay Interboro a premium in the amount of $[___________] in cash (the “Premium”), which is an amount equal to the net statutory reserves (net of third party reinsurance and any receivables from involuntary pools or associations) of Maidstone with respect to the Policies, including loss reserves (including case reserves and reserves for losses incurred but not reported), loss adjustment expense reserves, and unearned premium reserves, calculated as of the Effective Date in accordance with statutory accounting principles. Maidstone hereby represents and warrants that all such reserves are in

accordance with statutory accounting principles, applied on a consistent basis, and were determined using generally accepted actuarial standards consistently applied and actuarial assumptions that were in accordance with or more conservative than those called for in the relevant practices prescribed or permitted by the Department.

2.3 Payment of the Premium shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of Interboro designated in writing to Maidstone by Interboro on the Effective Date. Interboro’s receipt of the full amount of the Premium shall be a condition precedent to Interboro being liable under the Policies and to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

2.4 On the Novation Date, Interboro will place an amount equal to 110% of the unearned premium and loss (including incurred but not reported losses) and loss adjustment expense reserve balances related to the Policies into a Regulation 114 trust account with a commercial bank reasonably acceptable to Maidstone for the benefit of Maidstone (“Collateral”). Interboro shall be required at all times to maintain collateral equal to 110% of the unearned premium and loss (including incurred but not reported losses) and loss adjustment expense reserve balances of the Policies. Interboro shall in good faith determine the amount of Collateral required every fiscal quarter and shall ensure that the loss (including incurred but not reported loss) and loss adjustment expense reserves used to calculate such Collateral requirements (i) have been prepared in accordance with the statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department (as defined below), applied on a consistent basis, except where such accounting practices have been amended, supplemented or otherwise prescribed by the appropriate governmental authority and (ii) were determined using generally accepted actuarial principles consistently applied and actuarial assumptions that were in accordance with or more conservative than those called for in the relevant regulatory policy.

2.5 For the avoidance of doubt, Interboro’s aggregate liability for the Policies is not limited to the amount of Collateral in place at any time. Such Collateral is only meant to secure Interboro’s obligations under Sections 1.2 and 1.5.

Section 3.Notice to Policyholders and Other Procedures

3.1 As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, Maidstone and Interboro shall jointly send written notice to each policyholder (the “Policyholder”) with respect to the Active Policies, informing those Policyholders of the novation of the Active Policies, their assignment and transfer to Interboro, the assumption of the obligations under the Active Policies by Interboro, and the resulting release of Maidstone, subject only to timely rejection of the novation of a given Active Policy by its Policyholder, and providing information regarding where to send premium payments and how to contact Interboro, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, or such other form approved or permitted by the New York State Department of Financial Services (“Department”). Maidstone and Interboro may elect to send a similar follow-up or reminder notice.

3.2 Upon expiration of the notice period, or after any other indication of consent or lack of objection to the novation, as to any Active Policy, Interboro may send a suitable endorsement to that Policy’s Policyholder, in substance substituting Interboro as the insurer under that Policy, in a form approved or permitted by the Department.

3.3 If it has not already done so sooner, immediately after executing this Agreement, Maidstone shall deliver, to each of its reinsurers that reinsures any coverage or risk under the Policies or any of them, any notice and any other information regarding this Agreement and the transactions for which it provides that the governing reinsurance agreement requires or the reinsurer thereunder reasonably requests, and shall immediately request any consent or approval required thereunder, all such consents and approvals to be effective no later than as of the Effective Date. Maidstone hereby represents and warrants that no such reinsurance agreement prohibits the Novation, assumption, reinsurance, or other arrangement provided for herein, andthat all coverage and recoverables under all such reinsurance agreements will remain valid and in full force and effect notwithstanding the transactions for which this Agreement provides.

3.4 Maidstone represents and warrants that it has delivered to Interboro a complete and accurate itemization of and data about the Policies, in such detail and format as reasonably Interboro reasonably requests. The Expired Policies so itemized and subject to this Agreement shall include only those Expired Policies as to which, at the Effective Date, Maidstone carries any reserve, or under which there then is, or later comes to be, a reported or open claim, a coverage dispute, or any pending or expressly threatened litigation, or as to which there then is or later comes to be any other known contingent or additional liability. No later than the Effective Date, Maidstone shall deliver to Interboro the originals or complete copies of all of its Records concerning the Policies, in form and format to which the parties agree. The Parties shall cooperate diligently and in good faith to effectuate

a prompt and smooth transition of servicing of all Policies, including policy administration and claims handling and payment as appropriate.

3.5 From and after the Effective Date, Maidstone shall have no authority to take any action with respect to the Policies, and shall not do so or purport to do so, except at the express prior consent, request, or direction of Interboro. Maidstone shall promptly remit to Interboro, in full and without deduction or setoff, any and all premiums or other consideration it receives or collects respecting the Policies, and all recoveries thereon by way of subrogation, reinsurance, or otherwise, and shall refer and forward to Interboro, in such means and manner as Interboro reasonably requests, all communications regarding any of the Policies, whether from Policyholders, producers, claimants, adjusters, regulators, lawyers for any of them, or other persons.

Section 4.Policy Administration

4.1 From and after the Effective Date, or as soon practicable thereafter as the Parties, exercising their reasonable efforts and deliberate speed, can achieve, Interboro shall assume and perform, at its expense, all duties and responsibilities for administering and servicing the Policies, including without limitation: handling communications with Policyholders, other claimants, producers, and their representatives; processing, adjusting, settling and paying claims; amendments and endorsements to and cancellations or renewals of Policies; and supervising and controlling defense and settlement of any legal proceedings or other dispute resolution procedures respecting claims or other litigation or disputes relating to any Policies. Maidstone shall cooperate upon Interboro’s reasonable request in all such matters.

4.2 Maidstone shall promptly deliver to Interboro, in such manner and place as it specifies from time to time, all communications relating to any Policy or this Agreement (and not exclusively concerning a matter for which Interboro can have no responsibility or liability), and any and all payments, compensation, or recoveries in respect of any Policy, received from Policyholders, claimants, producers, reinsurers regulatory authorities, and any other person.

4.3 Before the Effective Date, Maidstone shall furnish to Parent and Interboro copies of any contracts for policies or claims servicing or handling relating to any of the Policies. As of the Effective Date, except as Parent otherwise instructs or permits in writing, Maidstone at it expense shall terminate all such agreements at they relate to the Policies (but not so far as such an agreement relates to business of Maidstone apart from the Policies). At the request of Parent or Interboro, Maidstone shall use its reasonable efforts to assign to Interboro, as of the Effective Date, any such agreement as it relates to some or all Policies.

4.4 From and after the Effective Date, Interboro shall periodically furnish loss runs and other usual reports and data relating to the claims and losses and any other relevant activity under the Expired Policies and the Opt-Out Policies. Interboro and Maidstone shall cooperate and consult in good faith in deciding the frequency, form, and content of such reports, so that both can maintain appropriate books, records and accounts and can prepare and, as needed, file financial statements and furnish needed data and records to their accountants, auditors, and regulators. Similarly the Parties shall cooperate in good faith so that Maidstone can and will submit all required data and reports to its reinsurers that reinsure any risks under any Policies and so that Maidstone and Interboro can seek and obtain all proper recoveries thereunder.

4.6 Maidstone or its representatives, upon one (1) business day’s advance written notice, shall be entitled to access, review, or audit, at Maidstone’s sole expense, the relevant books and records of Interboro relating to the Policies during normal business hours. To the extent necessary to carry out the terms of this Agreement, Interboro, at its sole expense, shall be entitled to access and review of Maidstone’s records as they pertain to the Policies.

4.7 For so long as Interboro is liable under any of the Novated Policies, it shall remain duly licensed and authorized as an admitted insurer to transact property and casualty insurance business in the State of New York and to transact the lines of insurance applicable to the Novated Policies, and remain in compliance with New York law, rules, and regulations governing its insurance business, and with this Agreement. If Interboro becomes subject to any regulatory discipline, financial impairment or insolvency issues, Interboro shall promptly so inform Maidstone.

4.8 As Interboro will become the insurer under all Novated Policies, from and after the Novation Date it shall be solely responsible, as to the Novated Policies, for rates and forms (including without limitations all needed filings and approvals thereof), and for any and all cancellations, renewals, extensions, amendments, and endorsements, and all offers of renewal or replacement policies shall be on Interboro’s policy forms and rates then in use for the purpose. As Maidstone will remain the insurer under all other Policies, including specifically the Opt-out Policies, Maidstone’s currently approved and in use rates and forms will continue to be used for such Policies. So far as applicable law and the terms of Opt-out Policies permit, in connection with scheduled expiration of any Opt-out Policy, or as and when requested or allowed by its applicable Policyholder or an agent of record therefor, Interboro shall offer to renew or replace an Opt-out Policy with an Interboro policy using its forms and rates then in effect.

4.9 At the request of Interboro, Maidstone will exercise reasonable efforts to assign to Interboro any producer contract in effect on the Effective Date and relating to any of the Policies. Promptly after the Effective Date, Maidstone and Interboro will cooperate to inform the record agents for Policyholders of the Active Policies about the Novation.
