Section 5.3 Market Conduct and Other Examinations. The Administrator acknowledges that regulators with jurisdiction over the Recipient and any of its Affiliates may have authority to examine the Recipient.

Section 6.2 Access to Books and Records. (a) Following the Effective Date, upon any reasonable request from the Recipient or its Representatives, the Administrator shall (i) provide to the Recipient and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the Books and Records, provided that, such access does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Administrator and (ii) permit the Recipient or its Representatives to make and retain copies of such Books and Records, in each case, at no cost to the Recipient or its Representatives (other than for reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses).

15 279488760v 8 Recipient) or any related material or (iii) any other information if the Administrator determines, in its reasonable judgment, that making such information available would (A) jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, work product immunity or any other legal privilege or similar doctrine, (B) violate an obligation of confidentiality owing to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrator or (C) contravene any Applicable Law, contract, Governmental Order or any fiduciary duty, it being understood that the Administrator shall (1) notify the Recipient in reasonable detail of the circumstances giving rise to any such privilege or obligation, (2) cooperate using reasonable best efforts in any efforts and requests for waivers to any such privilege or obligation and (3) use its reasonable best efforts to make other arrangements (including redacting information or entering into joint defense agreements), in each case that would enable any otherwise required disclosure of any Books and Records to the Recipient to occur without so jeopardizing such privilege, immunity or doctrine or contravening any Applicable Law, contract, Governmental Order or fiduciary duty. With respect to any Books and Records that are inextricably commingled with the books and records of the Administrator or its Affiliates, the Administrator or such Affiliates shall make a version of such Books and Records comprising reasonable redactions thereto with respect to any information relating to the Administrator or its Affiliates that does not relate to the Business.

16 279488760v 8 information available would (A) jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, work product immunity or any other legal privilege or similar doctrine, (B) violate an obligation of confidentiality owing to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Recipient or (C) contravene any Applicable Law, contract, Governmental Order or any fiduciary duty, it being understood that the Recipient shall (1) notify the Recipient in reasonable detail of the circumstances giving rise to any such privilege or obligations, (2) cooperate using reasonable best efforts in any efforts and requests for waivers to any such privilege or obligation and (3) use its reasonable best efforts to make other arrangements (including redacting information or entering into joint defense agreements), in each case that would enable any otherwise required disclosure to the Administrator to occur without so jeopardizing such privilege, immunity or doctrine or contravening any Applicable Law, contract, Governmental Order or fiduciary duty.

Section 8.2 Confidentiality. Each Party (a “Receiving Party”) shall hold the Confidential Information of the other Party (a “Disclosing Party”) in strictest confidence and shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that such Confidential Information is not disclosed to any third party, except that each Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information or portions thereof to those of such Receiving Party’s Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to the extent necessary for the performance of such Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement or as may otherwise be permitted by the terms of this Agreement, provided that, the Receiving Party advises such Persons of the confidential nature of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and directs them to maintain its confidentiality in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, further, that a Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach of this provision by any of its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives.

Section 8.5 Disaster Recovery Program. For as long as Administrative Services are provided hereunder, the Administrator shall, and shall require its Subcontractors, to, maintain and adhere to the Administrator Disaster Recovery Plan. As part of the Administrative Services, the Administrator shall, and shall require its Subcontractors to, promptly implement the Administrator Disaster Recovery Plans in the event of a Business Interruption. At all times during the term of this Agreement, the Administrator Disaster Recovery Plans shall be no less protective of the Business than the backup, business continuation and disaster recovery plans applicable to the Legacy Business administered by the Administrator and its Affiliates for their own account (and, if such Legacy Business is divested by Administrator or its Affiliates, no less protective of the Business than the backup, business continuation and disaster recovery plans applicable to the Legacy Business as of the date of such divestiture). Section 8.6 Intellectual Property Rights (a) All intellectual property rights, including copyrights, patents, patent disclosures and inventions (whether patentable or not), trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, rights in know-how and in other Confidential Information, trade dress, trade names, logos, corporate

The Recipient acknowledges that the Intellectual Property Rights of third parties may be used in providing the Administrative Services, and that the access to and use of such Intellectual Property Rights is subject to any terms, conditions and restrictions imposed by such third parties.

(c) The compensation payable to the Administrator for performing the Administrative Services hereunder shall in no respect be contingent on the claim experience of the Covered Policies; provided that, this sentence shall not prevent the compensation paid to the Administrator from being based on premiums or charges collected or number of claims paid or processed. Section 9.2 Transition Costs; Expense Reimbursement. The Recipient shall reimburse the Administrator for Transaction Transition Costs in accordance with Schedule 9.2. Section 9.3 Taxes. All charges and fees to be paid under this Agreement are exclusive of any applicable sales, use, excise, value added, service or similar Taxes (“Sales and Service Taxes”) required by any Applicable Law with respect to the Administrative Services or Altered Services or Standards provided under this Agreement. All such Sales and Service Taxes shall be borne entirely by the Recipient, and all Tax Returns with respect to such Sales and Service Taxes shall be timely filed by the Party required to file the Tax Return under Applicable Law; provided that, if the Administrator is required under Applicable Law to pay any such Sales and Service Taxes, such Sales and Service Taxes shall be paid by the Administrator and separately stated on the relevant invoice and reimbursed by the Recipient in accordance with this Article IX, and all other Sales and Service Taxes shall be paid directly by the Recipient; provided, further, that if

21 279488760v 8 either Party is aware that the other Party is required under Applicable Law to either pay a Sales and Services Tax or file a Tax Return with respect to a Sales and Services Tax, such Party shall notify such other Party of such Sales and Services Tax. If any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from payments by either Party under this Agreement, then the payor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Tax Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and all amounts so deducted or withheld and paid to the relevant Tax Authority shall be considered paid to the payee for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that the payor shall provide the payee with written notice of its intent to withhold at least 10 Business Days prior to making the relevant payment and the payor shall reasonably cooperate with the payee and take reasonable steps to minimize any such deduction or withholding.

Any invoiced amounts subject to a good faith dispute between the Parties shall be paid promptly following the resolution of such dispute. All payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars. Section 9.5 Failure to Pay. Subject to any amounts disputed in good faith, if the Recipient fails to pay the full amount of any invoice when due, such failure shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement and the Recipient shall pay the Administrator interest on the amount due for each day between and including the first day after the due date until paid by the Recipient at the lesser of (a) the percentage specified in Schedule 9.5 of such amount per month and (b) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law. The charging of interest is not a consent to late payment. The Recipient shall reimburse the Administrator for any costs or attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the Administrator to collect any overdue amounts that are not disputed in good faith. Neither the failure of the Administrator to deliver an invoice for charges incurred hereunder nor any error in the amount billed by the Administrator for such charges shall constitute a waiver by the Administrator of the Recipient’s obligations to pay such charges after properly invoiced and billed. The remedy provided to the Administrator by this Section 9.5 shall be without limitation of any other applicable provisions of this Agreement, including Article XI and Article XII. ARTICLE X BANK ACCOUNT Section 10.1 Bank Account.

(b) The Administrator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, the Recipient and its Representatives, Affiliates, successors and assigns (each a “Recipient Indemnitee”, and collectively with each other Recipient Indemnitee, the “Recipient Indemnitees”) in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 11.1(b). Section 11.2 Indemnification Procedures. (a) If any Person entitled to indemnification under Section 11.1(a) or Section 11.1(b) (each, an “Indemnitee”) receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action or other legal proceeding instituted by any Person that is not a Party or an Affiliate of a Party or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnitee in respect of which the Party required to indemnify such Indemnitee under Section 11.1(a) or Section 11.1(b) (each, an “Indemnitor”) may be obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall give such Indemnitor prompt written notice (but in no event later than 30 days after such receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of the assertion or commencement of such Action) thereof and such notice shall include a reasonable description of the claim and any documents relating to the claim and an estimate of the Loss (to the extent ascertainable) and shall reference the specific sections of this Agreement that form the basis of such claim; provided that, no delay on the part of the Indemnitee in notifying any Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such delay. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnitor, promptly after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim. (b) The Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and may assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor, at its own expense, by delivery of written notice to the Indemnitee; provided that, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (at the Indemnitor’s expense in accordance with this Article XI) (i) for any period during which the Indemnitor has not assumed the defense thereof, (ii) if the Indemnitor fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the action or proceeding after delivery of notice by the Indemnitor that it would assume the defense or (iii) if the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any

23 279488760v 8 criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation against the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnitor, it being understood that the Indemnitor shall control such defense, provided that, the Indemnitor shall pay the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee (1) for any period during which the Indemnitor has not assumed the defense thereof, or (2) if the Indemnitee determines (based on the opinion of counsel (including in-house counsel) to the Indemnitee) that (x) an actual or likely conflict of interest exists between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee and makes representation of the two parties by the same counsel inappropriate, or (y) one or more defenses or counterclaims are available to the Indemnitee that are inconsistent with those available to the Indemnitor. The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, including the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Whether or not the Indemnitor shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, or pay, settle, compromise or discharge (or offer to pay, settle, compromise or discharge) any Third Party Claim without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent. If the Indemnitor shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall not settle, compromise or discharge such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnitee, unless (A) the Indemnitor obtains, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnitee from any and all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim, (B) such settlement, compromise or discharge provides only for the payment of monetary damages and does not impose on the Indemnitee any non-monetary relief or any injunctive relief or other equitable remedy or other conditions, encumbrance or restrictions, (C) such settlement does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability, or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnitee, (D) such settlement does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Applicable Law or any violation of the rights of any Person on the part of the Indemnitee, and (E) such settlement does not provide for any monetary liability of the Indemnitee that will not be promptly paid or reimbursed by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitor submits to the Indemnitee a bona fide settlement offer that satisfies the requirements set forth in clauses (A)-(E) of the immediately preceding sentence and the Indemnitee refuses to consent as provided in this Section 11.2(b) to such settlement, then thereafter the Indemnitor’s liability to the Indemnitee with respect to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the Indemnitor’s portion of the settlement amount included in such settlement offer, and the Indemnitee shall either assume the defense of such Third Party Claim or pay the Indemnitor’s attorney’s fees and other out-of- pocket costs incurred thereafter in continuing the defense of such Third Party Claim. (c) If an Indemnitee wishes to make a claim under this Article XI that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Indemnitor setting forth (i) a reasonably detailed description of the claim, (ii) a good faith estimate of the amount of the Loss (to the extent ascertainable) and (iii) the specific provision of this Agreement that the Indemnitee alleges to be breached or implicated, and such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all available documentation that may be necessary or appropriate for the purposes of enabling the Indemnitor to be informed and to take any and all appropriate decisions and actions in respect of the matter and Loss that is the subject of the claim; provided that, failure to provide such

24 279488760v 8 notice on a timely basis shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such delay. Section 11.3 Additional Indemnification Provisions. (a) In any case where an Indemnitee recovers from a third Person not Affiliated with such Indemnitee, including any third party insurer, any amount in respect of any Loss paid by an Indemnitor pursuant to this Article XI, such Indemnitee shall promptly pay over to the Indemnitor the amount so recovered (net of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Indemnitee in procuring such recovery, which expenses shall not exceed the amount so recovered), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously paid by the Indemnitor to or on behalf of the Indemnitee in respect of such claim and (ii) any amount expended by the Indemnitor in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter. (b) If any portion of Losses to be paid by the Indemnitor pursuant to this Article XI would reasonably be expected to be recoverable from a third Person not Affiliated with the relevant Indemnitee (including under any applicable third party insurance coverage) based on the underlying claim or demand asserted against such Indemnitor, then the Indemnitee shall promptly after becoming aware of such fact give notice thereof to the Indemnitor and, upon the request of the Indemnitor, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the maximum amount recoverable from such third Person, in which event the Indemnitor shall reimburse the Indemnitee for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such collection, including any resulting increase in insurance premiums (which costs and expenses of collection shall not exceed the amount recoverable from such third Person). If any portion of Losses actually paid by the Indemnitor pursuant to this Article XI could have been recovered from a third Person not Affiliated with the relevant Indemnitee based on the underlying claim or demand asserted against such Indemnitee, then the Indemnitee shall transfer, to the extent transferable, such of its rights to proceed against such third Person as are necessary to permit the Indemnitor to recover from such third Person any amount actually paid by the Indemnitor pursuant to this Article XI.

Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and hereby waives (a) the defense in any Action for an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or an award for specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity, and (b) any requirement under Applicable Law to post a bond, undertaking or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
