ARTICLE II    

PURCHASE AND SALE OF CAPITAL STOCK
SECTION 2.1     Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller will sell to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase from Seller, the Company Shares, free and clear of all Liens and Preemptive Rights.
SECTION 2.2     Purchase Price.
(a)    Purchase Price Calculation. The aggregate purchase price for the Company Shares, subject to the adjustments and payment of potential additional purchase price set forth in Sections 2.2(c), 2.2(d), 2.2(e), 2.3, and 7.1 hereof (collectively, the “Purchase Price Adjustments”), equals $25.0 million (such amount, as so adjusted and/or increased, is referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”). At least thirty (30) days prior to Closing, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Buyer (x) pro forma estimated consolidated GAAP financial statements along with customary supporting schedules for the Transferred Companies as at December 31, 2014 (collectively, the "Closing Financial Statements") which shall include a certificate of the chief executive officer of the Subject Companies (solely in the capacity as such officer) certifying that the Closing Financial Statements have been prepared consistent with past practices and (y) Seller’s good faith estimate of Book Value as of December 31, 2014 based on the Closing Financial Statements (the “Estimated Initial Book Value”). To the extent that Estimated Initial Book Value is greater (or less) than $19.5 million, the Purchase Price will be increased (or decreased) by the amount of such difference. (For example, if Estimated Initial Book Value is $19.0 million, the Purchase Price would be adjusted downward to $24.5 million; conversely, if Estimated Initial Book Value is $20.0 million, Purchase Price would be adjusted upward to $25.5 million.) In the event that the Estimated Book Value is less than $17,200,000, Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion without penalty as set forth in Section 9.1(e).
(b)    Subject to the Purchase Price Adjustments, the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing will consist of the following: (i) the Closing Preferred Shares and (ii) an amount of cash (the “Cash Payment”) equal to the product of (A)(1) $25.0 million MINUS (2) the Parent Preferred Stock Amount PLUS (3) the amount by which the Estimated Initial Book Value exceeds $19.5 million (if applicable) MINUS (4) the amount by which the Estimated Initial Book Value is less than $19.5 million (if applicable) times (B) Ninety Percent (90.00%). In addition, at Closing, Buyer shall deliver the Holdback Amount and the Positive BV Adjustment Escrow Amount into escrow under the Escrow Agreement, each to be released in accordance with Section 2.2(c) below.
(c)    Post-Closing Adjustments to Purchase Price.
(i)    For purpose hereof, the Purchase Price Adjustments provided for in this Section 2.2(c) will be determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and in a manner consistent with the example calculation (prepared in the case of the Transferred Companies based on the audited consolidated balance sheet contained in the 12-31-14 Audited Financial Statements) attached hereto as Exhibit A (such example, the ”Purchase Price Calculation and Payment Methodology”).

EAST\79741171.22    15



(ii)    Within 75 days after the Closing, the Subject Companies shall cause the preparation of audited consolidated financial statements of the Subject Companies as at December 31, 2014 (the “12-31-14 Audited Financial Statements”). Not later than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt by the Subject Companies of the 12-31-14 Audited Financial Statements, Buyer will prepare and deliver (or cause to be prepared and delivered) to Seller (A) a consolidated balance sheet of the Transferred Companies as at December 31, 2014 (the "Final Balance Sheet") setting forth the consolidated Book Value of the Transferred Companies as at December 31, 2014 (after giving effect to the adjustments set forth in the Purchase Price Calculation and Payment Methodology, “Final Book Value”), together with work papers in support thereof, which will be prepared (and adjusted) in a manner consistent with the Purchase Price Calculation and Payment Methodology (the "Closing Statements"), and (B) Buyer's computation of the amount (the "Closing Adjustment Amount") by which the Final Book Value is greater than or less than the Estimated Initial Book Value.
(iii)    Within sixty (60) days after Seller's receipt of the Closing Statements (the "Notice Period"), Seller will deliver notice in writing to Buyer of either (i) Seller's agreement as to the Buyer's computation of the Closing Adjustment Amount (and the Final Book Value set forth in the Final Balance Sheet) or (ii) Seller's dispute thereof (if any), specifying in reasonable detail the nature of its dispute (any such items in dispute, the "Disputed Items" and any such notice of the Disputed Items, the "Dispute Notice"). If Seller fails to deliver to Buyer a Dispute Notice within the Notice Period, the Closing Statement and Buyer's computation of the Closing Adjustment Amount, if any, will, absent fraud or manifest error, be final and binding on the Parties. If Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Notice Period, each Party will cooperate and will cause its representatives to cooperate with the other Party and their representatives in good faith to seek to promptly resolve the Disputed Items. Any Disputed Items that are agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer (such resolved Disputed Items, "Resolved Items") within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the Dispute Notice or such other time as is mutually agreed in writing by Seller and Buyer (the "Dispute Period") will, absent fraud or manifest error, be final and binding on the Parties. If at the end of the Dispute Period, Seller and Buyer have failed to reach agreement with respect to any Disputed Items (such unresolved Disputed Items, "Remaining Disputed Items"), such Remaining Disputed Items will, within twenty (20) days after the expiration of the Dispute Period, be submitted to the Independent Expert. The Independent Expert may consider only the Remaining Disputed Items and must resolve such Remaining Disputed Items in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Independent Expert will deliver to Buyer and Seller, as promptly as practicable and in any event within forty‑five (45) days after its appointment, a written report setting forth the resolution of each Remaining Disputed Item, the resulting adjustments to the Purchase Price (taking into account the Resolved Items and its resolution of the Remaining Disputed Items), and its computation of the Closing Adjustment Amount. Except in the case of fraud, manifest error, or a breach of Section 3.1(d) or (e), the conclusions in such report will be final and binding upon the Parties. Each of Buyer and Seller will (A) bear all of its fees, costs and expenses incurred by it and its Affiliates in connection with the resolution of the Disputed Items and (B) pay one‑half of the fees and costs of the Independent Expert.
(d)    On or before the second (2nd) Business Day after Buyer and Seller agree (or are deemed to agree) to the Closing Adjustment Amount or Buyer and Seller receive notice of any

EAST\79741171.22    16



final determination of the Closing Adjustment Amount by the Independent Expert (such applicable date the “Settlement Date”) in the event that the Final Book Value on an aggregate basis (and excluding any change to the component of Global Liberty’s loss reserves included therein to the extent such changes are reasonably likely to result in a Purchase Price Adjustment under Section 2.3) (A) exceeds Estimated Initial Book Value by $500,000 or less (such excess, the “Positive BV Adjustment Amount”) then the Parties shall direct the Escrow Agent to release the full Holdback Amount and the full Positive BV Adjustment Escrow Amount to Seller, provided that (1) if the Positive BV Adjustment Amount is less than the Positive BV Adjustment Escrow Amount, then from the Positive BV Adjustment Escrow Amount Buyer and Seller shall direct that the excess portion of the Positive BV Escrow Amount shall be paid to Buyer and (2) in the event that the Positive BV Adjustment Amount exceeds the Positive BV Adjustment Escrow Amount, Buyer shall promptly pay such excess to Seller by wire transfer; (B) is less than the Estimated Initial Book Value by $500,000 or less (such shortfall, the “BV Shortfall”), then the Buyer and Seller shall direct the Escrow Agent to release the Holdback Amount such that it be distributed (1) to Buyer in an amount equal to the BV Shortfall and (2) to the Seller in an amount equal to the balance (if any) of the Holdback Amount.
(e)    In the event that the Final Book Value on an aggregate basis exceeds (or is less than) the Initial Book Value by an absolute value of more than $500,000, the Purchase Price will be further increased or decreased, as applicable, by an amount equal to the product of (x) 1.28 and (y) the amount by which the absolute value of the difference between Final Book Value and Initial Book Value exceeds $500,000. Any resulting difference between the Purchase Price as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.2(e) and as originally calculated pursuant to Section 2.2(a) shall increase (or decrease) the Cash Payment owing from Buyer to Seller, and shall, as applicable, first be paid from the aforementioned escrow accounts and then, to the extent that excess amount remain owing by one party to the other, be paid promptly by Buyer or Seller, as appropriate. Income earned on such escrowed amounts shall be paid to the Parties pro rata based on the entitlement to such escrowed amounts.
(f)    Performance Payment. Following the Closing and as additional consideration for the Company Shares and Seller’s performance under the Consulting Agreement, the Seller shall be entitled to receive from the Buyer (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.2(f)) additional amounts based on Global Liberty's performance during the accident years 2015, 2016 and 2017 (the "Performance Period"). The amount, if any, paid with respect to the Performance Period (the "Performance Payment") shall be determined and paid in accordance with this Section 2.2(f).
(i)    The amount of the Performance Payment shall be determined as follows: If Gross Profit during any of the accident years of the Performance Period exceeds the 2014 Gross Profit, the Performance Payment for such accident year shall equal the product of (x) Gross Profit for such accident year minus 2014 Gross Profit times (y) 0.25; provided that in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Performance Payment to be paid to Seller hereunder be in excess of $1,000,000. Further, in the event that the Excess Amount described in Section 2.3 exceeds $4,000,000, then, after the full offset against the initial liquidation preference of the Parent Preferred Stock issued at Closing, the aggregate amount of any Performance Payment will be reduced by the

EAST\79741171.22    17



amount of such excess. An example of how the Performance Payment shall be calculated is attached hereto as Annex A.
(ii)    Buyer will, within thirty (30) business days after the delivery of the SAP Statement for accident year 2017, determine the Performance Payment for each accident year as well as the aggregate Performance Payments owing to Seller (if any). Promptly thereafter, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the aggregate of the Performance Payments for each accident year during the Performance Period. Such payment will be made by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds.
(iii)    The right of Seller to receive the Performance Payment (i) is solely a contractual right and is not a security for purposes of any federal or state securities laws (and shall confer upon Seller only the rights of a general unsecured creditor under applicable state law); (ii) will not be represented by any form of certificate or instrument; (iii) does not give Seller any dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation rights, preemptive rights or other rights common to holders of the Buyer's capital stock; and (iv) is not redeemable.
(iv)    Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, Buyer’s right of offset against the Performance Payment(s) pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) shall extinguish upon the closing of any Optional Put or Optional Redemption.
(v)    After the Closing, Buyer and the Subject Companies shall operate their businesses in good faith and deal fairly with Seller with respect to the operation and ownership of Global Liberty (and its business) and Seller’s entitlement to the Performance Payment(s). Such covenant to own and operate the Subject Companies and their business shall be substantially similar to the operation, performance and financial criteria utilized in accordance with its Ordinary Course of Business. Buyer and the Subject Companies shall keep separate books and records for Global Liberty after the Closing in respect of the Gross Profit for purposes of calculating Seller’s entitlement (if any) to Performance Payment(s) in accordance with this Section 2.2(f) (it being understood no gross profit, loss or expense of any Person other than Global Liberty shall be included in such books and records or included in the calculation of Gross Profit for purposes of this Section 2.2(f)). After the Closing, Buyer and Global Liberty shall not (directly or indirectly) transfer (whether contingently or otherwise) any assets or property rights useful or useable in the achievement of Gross Profits except for sales of goods/services and payments on insurance policies in the Ordinary Course of Business. Upon any such transfer prior to the end of the Performance Period, then, immediately upon consummation of such transfer, the maximum amount of the Performance Payment(s) shall become due and payable to Seller (and thereafter no longer be subject to offset pursuant to Section 2.2(f)(i)).
SECTION 2.3     Other Post‑Closing Adjustments.
(a)    Parent Preferred Stock Amount Adjustments.
(i)    Prior to the occurrence of the first to occur of an Optional Redemption, an Optional Put and the Final Preferred Stock Adjustment Date, the Parent Preferred Stock Amount and the number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock (excluding PIK Dividends) held by Seller will

EAST\79741171.22    18



be adjusted following December 31 of each calendar year beginning with and including 2015 (with the final adjustment as at December 31, 2017, except as noted in Section 2.3(a)(i)(E) below) as follows (and a final adjustment using the same process will be made on the Final Preferred Stock Adjustment Date, if an Optional Redemption or Optional Put has not yet occurred prior to such date):

(B)    In the event of any Loss Development as at the end of the Subject Loss Development Year exceeds the Closing Loss Reserve (a "Loss Development Increase"), the then current Parent Preferred Stock Amount (excluding, for the sake of clarity, any PIK Dividends) will be decreased by an amount (the "Excess Amount") equal to (i) $1.28 multiplied by (ii) such Loss Development Increase multiplied by .66 (in order to have this calculation reflect the after-tax Loss Development Increase) and Buyer will cause the number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock (excluding, for the sake of clarity, any PIK Dividends) held by Seller equal to the Excess Amount divided by the Preferred Stock Share Price to be cancelled on the books of the Buyer; provided that (1) in no event shall the aggregate number of shares to be cancelled exceed the number of shares originally issued to Seller as of the Closing Date, and (2) in respect of any Subject Loss Development Year after 2015 (x) the Excess Amount shall be without duplication of any prior Excess Amounts in respect of prior Subject Loss Development Year(s) and (y) if the amount of such Loss Development Increase is less than the Loss Development Increase of a prior Subject Loss Development Year, then Seller shall also be entitled to be issued such number of shares of

Parent Preferred Stock which were previously cancelled in respect of such difference between Loss Development Increases for such Subject Loss Development Years.
(C)    In the event of any Loss Development as at the end of a Subject Loss Development Year is less than the Closing Loss Reserve (a "Loss Development Decrease"), then the Parent Preferred Stock Amount (excluding, for the sake of clarity, any PIK Dividends) will be increased by an amount (the "Decrease Amount") equal to (i) $1.28 multiplied by (ii) such Loss Development Decrease multiplied by .66 (in order to have this calculation reflect the after-tax Loss Development Decrease) and Buyer shall promptly issue to Seller a number of additional shares of Parent Preferred Stock equal to the Decrease Amount divided by the Preferred Stock Share Price and, in the case of Subject Loss Development Years after 2015, Seller shall also be entitled to be issued such number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock as were previously cancelled (and not thereafter reissued) pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i)(B)(2).
(D)    For so long as any shares of Parent Preferred Stock are outstanding or the Performance Payment(s) are subject to offset pursuant to Section 2.2(f)(i), none of Buyer, Anchor, Global Liberty or any other Person shall pay or settle any Global Liberty insurance claim where such payment or settlement is outside the Ordinary Course of Business or outside applicable policy limits, unless required by Law.
(E)    Notwithstanding the timing of the preparation of the Loss Development Statement set forth above for the year ending December 31, 2017, Buyer shall provide to Seller as soon as practical, but no later than December 15, 2017, a copy of Buyer’s internal draft actuarial report based on September 30, 2017 data (the “Draft Report”) setting forth Buyer’s good faith estimate (the “Draft Loss Development”) of the Loss Development for the then current Subject Loss Development Year. If Seller agrees in writing with the Draft Loss Development, then (1) the Parties shall calculate the Excess Amount or Decrease Amount, as applicable, based upon the Draft Loss Development and make any required adjustments to the Parent Preferred Stock Amount based thereon, and (2) notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, the Optional Put and Optional Redemption shall be exercisable by the applicable Party as of December 31, 2017 provided that Seller agrees in writing with the Draft Loss Development and Excess Amount or Decrease Amount calculated resulting therefrom. In furtherance of the immediately preceding sentence, to effect the Optional Put, Seller shall deliver an Optional Put Notice (in the form of Annex B attached hereto), and upon receipt of such Optional Put Notice, Parent and Buyer shall jointly and severally be obligated to honor the Optional Put pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.3(a).

Any disputes by Seller with an Estimated Loss Development Statement will be resolved by the Independent Expert in a manner consistent with Section 2.2(c)(iii); provided that in connection with any such dispute, Seller (at its expense) will be entitled to select an independent actuary (which selection will be subject to the consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)) to either (i) review Buyer's actuarial report supporting the applicable Loss Development Statement or (ii) prepare an actuarial report supporting the Estimated Loss Development Statement. Any estimated Loss Development Increase or estimated Loss Development Decrease as finally determined by the Parties or the Independent Expert will result in the cancellation or issuance of shares of Parent Preferred Stock in a manner consistent with Sections 2.3(a)(i)(B) and (C) for purposes of determining the number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock to be cancelled or issued (as the case may be); provided further, that if the amount of such estimated Loss Development Increase or Loss Development Decrease as determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is ten percent (10.00%) less or more, as the case may be, than that indicated in the Estimated Loss Development Statement, Seller's reasonable expenses of retaining such independent actuary shall be paid (or reimbursed) by Buyer.

(i)    If the amount of any Loss suffered or incurred by a Buyer Indemnified Party, at any time subsequent to the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, the amount of such reduction, less any reasonable costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, will promptly be repaid by the Buyer Indemnified Party to Seller that has made any such indemnity payment. Buyer Indemnified Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to recover from insurance policies or other applicable sources of recovery the maximum portion of any Losses of such Buyer Indemnified Party. Upon making any indemnity payment, Seller will, to the extent of such indemnity payment made by it, be subrogated to all rights of the Buyer Indemnified Party against any third party in respect of the indemnifiable Losses to which the indemnity payment relates; provided, however, that until the Buyer Indemnified Party recovers full payment of its indemnifiable Losses, any and all claims of Seller against any such third party on account of said indemnity payment is hereby made expressly subordinated and subjected in right of payment to the Buyer Indemnified Party's rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Buyer Indemnified Party and Seller will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above‑described subrogation and subordination rights.
(ii)    Except as set forth in Section 7.1(b)(iv) (and subject to the other applicable limitations contained in this Section 7.1), the Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.1(a)(i) only to the extent that the aggregate amount of Losses exceed on a cumulative basis Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the "Indemnification Basket"), after which point Seller will be obligated to indemnify Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against all further Losses in excess of the Indemnification Basket.
(iii)    Except as set forth in Section 7.1(b)(iv), the maximum amount for which Seller will be liable in the aggregate under Section 7.1(a)(i) will not exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) (the "Indemnification Cap").
(iv)    Notwithstanding Sections 7.1(b)(ii), 7.1(b)(iii) and 7.1(c), (A) Losses in connection with or arising out of any breaches or inaccuracies of any of the Special Representations or any of the representations contained in Section 3.1(j) (Taxes) and Buyer’s representations and warranties under Section 3.2(e) (Buyer’s SEC Reports) and Section 3.2(f) (Buyer Financial Wherewithal) will not be subject to the Indemnification Cap but will instead be capped (when combined with all other Losses) at an aggregate amount equal to the total amount of the Purchase Price and (B) Losses in connection with or arising out of any breaches or inaccuracies of any Special Representations or any of the representations contained in Section 3.1(j) (Taxes) and

EAST\79741171.22    56



Buyer’s representations and warranties under Section 3.2(e) (Buyer’s SEC Reports) and Section 3.2(f) (Buyer Financial Wherewithal) will not be subject to the Indemnification Basket.
(v)    The Parties shall cooperate with each other to resolve any claim or liability with respect to which one Party is obligated to indemnify another Party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to or resolve any such claim, liability or Losses. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to address any claims or liabilities that may provide a basis for an indemnifiable claim such that each Party shall respond to any claims or liabilities in the same manner it would respond to such claims or liabilities in the absence of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. In the event that any Party shall willfully fail to make such commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other Parties shall not be required to indemnify any Person for any indemnifiable Losses that could reasonably be excepted to have been avoided if such failing Party had made such efforts.
(vi)    Anything else to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnification obligations of the Seller Indemnifying Parties hereunder with respect to particular Losses shall not apply (and the amount of such Losses shall not be counted for purposes of the Indemnity Basket and the Indemnity Cap) solely to the extent such Losses result (1) in a downward adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2(c) (Adjustments to Purchase Price), (2) Buyer’s cancellation of shares of Parent Preferred Stock or offset against Performance Payments in accordance with Section 2.3 (Other Post-Closing Adjustments) or Section 2.2(f) (Performance Payments), respectively, or (3) a Tax indemnification payment pursuant to Article VIII.
(vii)    no Losses shall be deemed to exist which arise or result solely from any change in Law after the Closing Date.
(viii)    The amount of any Losses shall be (y) increased for any Tax accrued or payable by a Subject Company upon recovery of such Losses to the extent applicable (“Actual Tax Cost”) and (z) reduced for any reduction of Taxes realized by a Subject Company (when Losses occur or subsequently) on account of such Losses (“Actual Tax Savings”). For purposes hereof, Actual Tax Savings shall be equal to the excess, if any, of the Actual Tax Benefit Amount over the Actual Tax Detriment Amount; and the amount of the Actual Tax Cost shall be equal to the excess, if any, of the Actual Tax Detriment Amount over the Actual Tax Benefit Amount, each as defined below and each of which shall be calculated taking into account only those items of Tax savings realized or Tax liabilities incurred by the Subject Company in the taxable year in which the indemnification payment is made (or, in the case of an Actual Tax Benefit, if applicable, a preceding Tax year in which the indemnified Loss was claimed as a deduction for income Tax purposes) taking into account all of such Subject Company’s Tax attributes for the period or periods in question. For purposes hereof, (A) theActual Tax Benefit Amount” shall equal the actual amount of any reduction of a Subject Company’s income Tax liability for the taxable year in which the indemnification payment is made (or, if applicable, a preceding tax year in which the indemnified Losses were claimed as a deduction for income Tax purposes), which reduction would not have been realized but for the occurrence of the event in respect of which the indemnification payment is made or the receipt of the indemnification payment. TheActual Tax Detriment Amountshall

EAST\79741171.22    57



equal the actual amount of any increase in the Subject Company’s income Tax liability for the taxable year in which the indemnification payment is made, which increase would not have been realized but for the occurrence of the event in respect of which the indemnification payment is made or the receipt of the indemnification payment. The Parties agree that any determination made under this Section 7.1(b)(viii) shall be made in good faith by Buyer, which shall provide the Indemnifying Party with its calculation of the Actual Tax Savings or Actual Tax Cost in writing. The Parties shall attempt to resolve any dispute over such determination in good faith and if such dispute cannot be resolved within thirty (30) days after the date either Party raises the issue, the matter may be submitted to the Independent Expert (who, for this purpose need not have actuarial expertise if the subject dispute does not involve loss reserves of Global Liberty).
(ix)    Anything else to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller shall not be liable to any Buyer Indemnified Party under or in connection with this Agreement, for any Consequential Damages, remote, speculative or punitive damages other than any punitive damages to the extent paid by an Indemnified Party to a Third Party pursuant to a Third Party Claim or for any damages calculated on the basis of multiple of earnings, or profits or return on investment.
(x)    The remedies provided to the Buyer Indemnified Parties and to Seller Indemnified Parties, respectively, in this Article VII, and with respect to Tax in Article VII, shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of such Persons (other than with respect to a claim for fraud, or for specific performance or any other equitable remedy as provided in Section 10.7) and shall preclude assertion by any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against the Seller Indemnifying Parties or Buyer, as applicable, for claims based on any breach of this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including any violation or breach by a Seller, a Subject Company or Buyer Party of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement of such Person hereunder or under any other Transaction Agreement). In furtherance of the foregoing (and except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2), each Party hereby waives, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Affiliates, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, all other rights, claims, and causes of action of any kind, nature or description whatsoever that the or it may have for the recovery of such money damages or other Losses against the Indemnifying Party (as defined in Section 7.2(a)) or any of it respective Affiliates. In no event shall the mere breach of a representation or warranty be used as evidence of or be deemed to constitute bad faith, intentional misconduct or fraud. Each Party hereby waives any provision of Law to the extent that it would limit or restrict the agreements contained in this Section 7.1(b)(x).
(c)    Subject to the applicable limitations set forth in this Article VII, and the expiration of representations and warranties of Buyer as provided in Article VI, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates (excluding following the Closing, each Subject Company) and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members and employees and their heirs, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, "Seller Indemnified Parties") from, against and in respect of any Losses imposed on, sustained, or incurred or suffered by any of Seller Indemnified Parties, whether in respect of Third Party Claims, claims between Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, or otherwise, directly or indirectly resulting from, in connection with or arising out of:

EAST\79741171.22    58



(i)    the inaccuracy or any breach of the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Agreement; it being understood that for purposes of this Section 7.1(c), any qualifications relating to materiality, including the term "Buyer Material Adverse Effect", contained in any such representation or warranty will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether such representation or warranty was breached or was inaccurate; and
(ii)    any breach or failure by Buyer to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement or in any Transaction Agreement.
(d)    If the amount of any Losses suffered or incurred by a Seller Indemnified Party, at any time subsequent to the making of an indemnity payment in respect thereof, is reduced by recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, the amount of such reduction, less any costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection therewith, will promptly be repaid by Seller Indemnified Party to Buyer. Seller Indemnified Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to recover from insurance policies or other applicable sources of recovery the maximum portion of any Losses of such Seller Indemnified Party. Upon making any indemnity payment, Buyer will, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be subrogated to all rights of Seller Indemnified Party against any third party in respect of the indemnifiable Losses to which the indemnity payment relates; provided, however, that until Seller Indemnified Party recovers full payment of its indemnifiable Losses, any and all claims of Buyer against any such third party on account of said indemnity payment is hereby made expressly subordinated and subjected in right of payment to Seller Indemnified Party's rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality or effect of any other provision hereof, each such Seller Indemnified Party and Buyer will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above‑described subrogation and subordination rights.
SECTION 7.2     Indemnification Notice Procedures.
(a)    A Person (or group of Persons) entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1 (an "Indemnified Party"), including pursuant to any Third Party Claim which might give rise to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1, will provide prompt written notice (the "Indemnification Notice") to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of any claim or demand that it may have pursuant to Section 7.1; provided, that in the event such Indemnification Notice relates to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will provide an Indemnification Notice to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto within fifteen (15) days following such Indemnified Party's receipt of written notice of such Third Party Claim. Any delay in delivering an Indemnification Notice will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party will have been materially prejudiced as a result of such delay. An Indemnification Notice will contain a brief summary of the facts underlying or related to such claim to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party and true, correct and complete copies of any correspondence, notices or pleadings (if a Third Party Claim); provided, that an Indemnification Notice need not state the amount of Losses that the Indemnified Party believes it has incurred or suffered relating to such claim.

EAST\79741171.22    59



(b)    At any time after an Indemnified Party has delivered an Indemnification Notice, such Indemnified Party in his, her or its discretion may supplement or amend such Indemnification Notice by delivery of any correspondence, notice or other information relating to the claim covered by the original Indemnification Notice. In addition, at any time after an Indemnified Party has delivered a Indemnification Notice with respect to a claim other than a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party in its discretion may deliver a notice which attaches the original Indemnification Notice, sets forth a summary in reasonable detail of the facts underlying or relating to such claim to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party, includes a statement demanding indemnification from the Indemnified Party and includes a statement of the amount of Losses for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification at that time (a "Demand Notice"). The Indemnifying Party will have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date on which the Indemnified Party delivers a Demand Notice during which to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of any objections it has to the Indemnified Party's notice or claims for indemnification. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver such written notice of objection to such Demand Notice within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have accepted the claim as set forth in the Demand Notice. If the Indemnifying Party accepts the claim as set forth in the Demand Notice, it will have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of acceptance to pay such claim and if the Indemnifying Party rejects the claim, then, subject to Section 7.3 (Third Party Claims), the Indemnified Party will be entitled to initiate an Action to seek enforcement of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party will have no right to participate in or control any claim that is not a Third Party Claim.
SECTION 7.3     Third Party Claims.
(a)    The Indemnified Party agrees to give the Indemnifying Party notice in writing of the assertion of any claim or demand made by, or any other Action instituted by, any Person not a Party to this Agreement (a "Third Party Claim") in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 7.1 in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in Section 7.2; provided, however, that any delay in delivering any Indemnification Notice will not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party will have been materially prejudiced as a result of such delay. From and after the delivery of a Indemnification Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnified Party's receipt thereof, true, correct and complete copies of all material notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.
(b)    (1)    With respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so elects, to assume the defense thereof, unless such Third Party Claim is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party and/or the Indemnified Party's Affiliates other than as a result of monetary Losses. Unless the Indemnified Party will have notified the Indemnifying Party of the existence of the condition set forth in the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party will have thirty (30) days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Indemnification Notice as may be required by any Governmental Entity, any court or arbitration proceedings, or any regulatory inquiry or investigation) from receipt of the Indemnification Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim (the "Defense Notice Period")

EAST\79741171.22    60



to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. All Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to any assumption by the Indemnifying Party of the defense of a Third Party Claim will be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party to the extent the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from, against and in respect of Losses incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party to the extent arising from such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Defense Notice Period that it elects to defend such Third Party Claim, it will have the right to so defend at its expense, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense thereof, including the opportunity to participate in any discussions or correspondence with any Governmental Entity, and to employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party will participate in any such defense at its own expense unless (A) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties to the proceedings and a Governmental Entity, arbitrator or arbitration panel, as applicable, with jurisdiction over the proceedings at issue will have determined that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or the availability to the Indemnified Party of one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof or (B) the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party has failed to diligently pursue a Third Party Claim it has assumed, and in the case of (A) or (B), all such expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such participation will be borne by the Indemnifying Party. Each Party will reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of a Third Party Claim. Such cooperation will include the retention and, upon the Indemnifying Party's request, the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably 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.
(iii)    In the event the Indemnifying Party (x) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise; (y) is not entitled to defend the Third Party Claim as a result of the Indemnified Party's election to defend the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 7.3(b)(i); or (z) after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim in a reasonably diligent manner within twenty (20) days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party will have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification for such Third Party Claim will not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim.
(iv)    Whether or not the Indemnifying Party will have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and the Indemnifying Party may not consent to the entry of judgment, admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party

EAST\79741171.22    61



Claim without the Indemnified Party's prior written consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of applicable Requirements of Law and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; (B) there is no imposition of an Order that could restrict the future activity of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates; and (C) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are concurrently paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and a full and complete release is provided to the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates.
SECTION 7.4     Indemnification Survival. The indemnities provided in this Agreement will survive the Closing; provided, however, that the indemnities provided under Section 7.1(a)(i) and Section 7.1(b)(i) will terminate when the applicable representation or warranty terminates pursuant to Article VI, except as to any item as to which the Indemnified Party will have, before the expiration of the applicable period, previously delivered an Indemnification Notice satisfying the content requirements of Section 7.2(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery by the Indemnified Party of one or more supplements or amendments to an Indemnification Notice or of a Demand Notice as contemplated by Section 7.2(b) will not be (a) deemed the delivery of a new Indemnification Notice or the revocation of the original Indemnification Notice for purposes of this Section 7.4; and (b) will not alter or undermine the timeliness of the original Indemnification Notice for purposes of Section 7.2(a).
SECTION 7.5     Indemnification Payments; Characterization. All payments made by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim pursuant to this Article VII or Article VIII will be (a) made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the relevant indemnified party and (b) treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes to the extent such characterization is proper and permissible under applicable Requirements of Law.
SECTION 7.6     Indemnification in the Event No Closing Occurs. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Article VII, prior to the Closing, the Buyer Indemnified Parties may seek recovery only (A) from the Subject Companies, jointly and severally, but only for claims arising out of breaches by (1) any of the Subject Companies of such Subject Company’s respective covenants as provided in this Agreement or (2) by the Seller of any of his representations and warranties made to the extent such subject representation or warranty directly relates to a Subject Company’s business, operations, assets or financial condition (a “Company-Related Representation and Warranty”) or (B) from Seller but only for claims arising out of a breach by Seller of (1) Seller’s covenants under this Agreement or (2) Seller’s representations and warranties in this Agreement other than any Company-Related Representation and Warranty.
ARTICLE VIII    

TAX MATTERS
SECTION 8.1     Tax Indemnity.
(c)    Upon Closing, without duplication of indemnifiable Losses under Section 7.1, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against (i) any and all Taxes imposed on the Subject Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Years and (ii) any and

EAST\79741171.22    62



all Taxes of any Person imposed on the Subject Companies as a transferee or successor, by Contract or pursuant to any Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Effective Date. Upon the Closing Date, the Buyer shall be liable for and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller from and against (i) any and all Taxes imposed on the Subject Companies for any Taxes imposed on the Subject Companies for any Post‑Closing Tax Years; and (ii) any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on the Subject Company as a transferee or successor, by Contract or pursuant to any Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring after the Effective Date.
(d)    For purposes of determining the liability of Seller and Buyer pursuant to Section 8.1(a) with respect to Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) that are payable for a taxable period that begins before the Effective Date and ends after the Effective Date (a "Straddle Period"), the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the Pre‑Closing Tax Years will be in the case of (i) Taxes imposed on a periodic basis or otherwise measured by the level of any item deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the Effective Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period irrespective of the lien or assessment date of such Taxes; (ii) Taxes imposed on or measured by income, gross receipts, wages, profits, use, payroll, or expenses or imposed on sales, assignments or any other transfers of any property deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended at the close of business on the Effective Date (based on an interim closing of the books as of the Effective Date); and (iii) Taxes imposed on the basis of premium deemed equal to the amount which would be payable on the basis of the amount of the premium written as of the Effective Date. The portion of any Tax not allocable to the Pre‑Closing Tax Years in accordance with the foregoing will be allocable to the Post‑Closing tax years.
(e)    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (other than the Subject Companies) has paid estimated Taxes that are attributable to the income, gain, business or activities of the Subject Companies and prior to the Closing Date Seller has not been reimbursed for such expenses and such estimated Taxes are actually applied to the Tax account of the Subject Companies, Seller's liability for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement will be reduced by the amount of such payments. In addition, Seller will not be liable for any Tax to the extent such Tax is reflected or reserved for on the Final Balance Sheet.
SECTION 8.2     Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns.
(a)    Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice, all Tax Returns with respect to the Subject Companies required to be filed by any of the Subject Companies for taxable years that end on or before the Effective Date. With respect to any Tax Return required to be filed or caused to be filed by the Subject Companies with respect to the Subject Companies pursuant to this Section 8.2(a), the Subject Companies will provide Buyer and its authorized representatives with a copy of such completed Tax Return and a statement certifying and setting forth the calculation of the amount of Tax shown on such Tax Return, together with appropriate supporting information and schedules at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date (including any extension thereof) for the filing of such Tax Return, and Buyer and its authorized

EAST\79741171.22    63



representatives will have the right to review and comment on such Tax Return. Seller shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as reasonably requested by Buyer. Seller shall make all payments due with respect to any such Tax Return at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is to be filed. Each such Tax Return shall be filed on a timely basis by the applicable Subject Company or Buyer. Buyer and its Affiliates (including after the Closing, the Subject Companies) shall not amend any previously filed Tax Returns for taxable years that end on or before the Effective Date that could increase an indemnity claim under this Agreement with respect to Taxes without the prior written consent of Seller.
(a)    Except as set forth at Section 8.2(a), Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared, and file or cause to be filed on a timely basis all Tax Returns for the Subject Companies. Tax Returns for a Straddle Period will be prepared in a manner consistent with the Subject Companies' past practices, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law. Seller shall pay the liability for any Tax Return prepared pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) applying the principles of Section 8.1 above at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such Tax Return is to be filed.
SECTION 8.3     Tax Refunds. Rights and benefits relating to all credits or refunds of Tax liabilities of the Subject Companies (including credits for overpayment of estimated Taxes) attributable solely to any Pre‑Closing Tax Years or a liability for Tax for which Seller has provided an indemnity under Section 7.1(b) to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Tax refunds exceeds the amount of such refunds included as assets/items in Book Value, as finally determined, will remain with and be for the benefit of Seller, and Buyer will pay to Seller the amount of any such Tax refund or credit against Taxes received by Buyer or by the Subject Companies (net of any Tax or other cost imposed on or incurred by Buyer with respect to the accrual or receipt of such refund). However, to the extent that a credit or a Tax refund of a Tax arising from or relating to any Pre‑Closing Tax Year is attributable to the carryback of a Post‑Closing Tax Year Tax attribute, such Tax refund or credit will be the property of Buyer.
SECTION 8.4     Tax Notice; Tax Controversies. Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, will provide to each other notice within five (5) Business Days of receipt of any notice of deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, audit, examination or other administrative or court proceeding, suit, dispute or other claim (a "Tax Claim") in which a Taxing Authority makes or proposes to make a Tax adjustment to any Tax period with respect to a Subject Company which includes any period up to and including the Effective Date. Seller will control the conduct of any Tax Claim that: (i) could adversely affect the Taxes of Seller or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) could result in Seller being liable for any amount of Taxes or losses related thereto, either under the Law or pursuant to this Agreement (a "Seller Tax Claim"), but only to the extent that such Seller Tax Claim is severable from other Tax Claims which are not Seller Tax Claims. Buyer will control all other proceedings. With respect to any Tax Claim for a Pre-Closing Tax year, the Party not controlling the proceeding of such Tax Claim or its representative will (to the extent permitted by Law) have the right, at its expense, to participate in any such Tax Claim. The Parties agree that they will not settle, compromise or agree to any Tax adjustment which affects or could affect any other Party's Tax liability without the prior written consent of such other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, that Buyer will have the right to settle or

EAST\79741171.22    64



compromise any such proceedings without the consent of Seller to the extent such settlement or compromise will not adversely affect the Tax liability of Seller or any Affiliate thereof (including the Subject Companies) for any period prior to the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any conflict arises between the provisions of this Section 8.4 and the provisions of Section 7.3, the provisions of this Section 8.4 shall govern.
SECTION 8.5     Cooperation and Controversies.
(a)    Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, will reasonably cooperate, and will cause their respective Affiliates, agents, auditors, representatives, officers and employees reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund), including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and with respect to any Tax Claim, which cooperation will include but not be limited to (i) providing all relevant information that is available to Buyer, Seller and/or the Subject Companies, as the case may be, with respect to such Tax Claim; (ii) making personnel available at reasonable times; and (iii) preparation of responses to requests for information; provided, that the foregoing will be done in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of business by Buyer, Seller or the Subject Companies, as the case may be. None of Seller or Buyer or the Subject Companies will dispose of any Tax Returns, Tax schedules, Tax work‑papers or any books or records (for any Tax period ended less than seven years ago) unless it first offers in writing to the other Parties the right to take possession of such materials at the sole expense of such Party or Parties that accept that offer, and if any other such Party fails to accept such offer within fifteen (15) Business Days of the offer being made or if an offer is accepted and the offeree fails to take possession within thirty (30) Business Days of the date on which the offer is made. Any information obtained under this Section 8.5 will be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or with respect to any Tax Claim.
(b)    Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Subject Companies to prepare and provide to Seller a package of Tax information materials, including, without limitation, schedules and work papers of estimates (the "Tax Package") by March 1, 2015, or no later than 90 days after the Closing Date to enable Seller to prepare all Tax Returns required to be prepared by Seller pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and upon Seller's reasonable request, Buyer will provide to Seller any additional information that may be requested by Seller. The Tax Package will be prepared in good faith in a manner consistent with past practice.
SECTION 8.6     Transfer Taxes. Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, will each be liable for and will hold the other harmless against one‑half of any Real Property transfer, sales, use, transfer, stock transfer, and stamp Taxes, any transfer, recording, registration and other fees, and any similar Taxes which become payable as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements (collectively, "Transfer Taxes"). Buyer or Seller, as appropriate, will execute and deliver all instruments and certificates necessary to enable the other Party to comply with any filing requirements relating to any such Transfer Taxes.

ARTICLE IX    

TERMINATION PRIOR TO THE CLOSING

shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the subject disclosure is described in reasonable detail (it being understood that (i) the disclosures may include certain terms that are generally understood by Persons engaged in the industries in which the Transferred Companies conduct business and (ii) the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty pertains to the existence of the document or other item itself)); (c) disclosure of any item in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material item, fact, exception of fact, event or circumstance or that occurrence or non-occurrence of any change or effect related to such item could result in a Seller Material Adverse Effect or Buyer Material Adverse Effect; (d) the table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement; (e) whenever the words "include," "includes" or "including" are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation;" (f) whenever the singular is used herein, the same shall include the plural, and whenever the plural is used herein, the same shall include the singular, where appropriate; (g) references to "$" mean United States dollars; (h) in the event of a conflict between the terms of the Parent Preferred Stock in the Parent’s Constituent Documents and the Preferred Entitlements, the terms of this Agreement shall govern the Parties’ understanding (except with respect to the conversion ratio which shall be set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto); and (i) Seller’s Preferred Entitlements shall not be prejudiced by the issuance of the Parent Preferred Stock to Buyer and subsequent assignment or transfer to Seller of the Parent Preferred Stock after the Date of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.4     Entire Agreement; Third‑Party Beneficiaries.
(a)    This Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules hereto, and the Disclosure Schedule), together with the other Transaction Agreements (and the Confidentiality Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersedes all prior agreements, (other than the Confidentiality Agreement) understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to such subject matter.

SECTION 10.5     Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the terms providing the governing law and jurisdiction for disputes under this Agreement and the terms providing the governing law and jurisdiction of the Parent Preferred Stock in the Parent’s Constituent Documents conflict in any way (other than in respect of the conversion ratio thereof which shall be governed by Exhibit D), Seller shall be free to elect among such governing law and jurisdiction in support of the enforcement of Seller’s Preferred Entitlements, and Buyer and Parent hereby agree not to argue (or take any position) to the contrary.

SECTION 10.7     Specific Performance.

EAST\79741171.22    70

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Consultant is in the business of advising enterprises that provide property and casualty insurance in the commercial automobile industry;

WHEREAS, Consultant and the Client are parties to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among Consultant, Anchor Holdings Group, Inc., a New York corporation, Anchor Group Management Inc., a New York corporation, Plainview Premium Finance Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Global Liberty Insurance Company of New York, Plainview Premium Finance Company of California, Inc., a California corporation, the Client, and American Insurance Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Client (the “SPA”);

WHEREAS, Consultant and the Client are executing this Agreement as a condition to the execution and delivery of the SPA; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the SPA, the Client has acquired certain businesses (the “Subject Companies”), and desires that Consultant provide consulting services to the Client on a temporary basis to assist in incorporating the Subject Companies into the Client’s business operations.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
    
The Services. In consideration for the Client entering into the SPA, Consultant shall work with the Client’s management to effectuate the smooth transition of the Subject Companies’ employees, agents, policyholders and other stakeholders into the Client’s business operations (the “Services”). In this capacity, Consultant shall not have direct managerial authority.
During the first ninety (90) days of the Term (defined below), Consultant’s time commitment to the Client shall not exceed ten (10) hours weekly, and shall consist primarily of introducing the Client’s employees to key agents of the Subject Companies and supporting the Client’s initiatives to ensure a smooth integration of the Transferred Companies and their employees into the Client’s business operations (the “Transition”).




EXHIBIT B

During the remainder of the Term, Consultant’s time commitment to the Client shall not exceed fifteen (15) hours monthly, shall likely be performed remotely, and shall consist primarily of responding to queries from the Client’s management regarding the Transition.
Subject to Consultant’s other business commitments and the other terms of this Agreement, Consultant shall use his commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services in a timely manner using Consultant’s own resources during hours of Consultant’s own choosing and from a location of Consultant’s own choosing, provided that Consultant may on occasion be required to travel to the Client’s offices upon mutually agreed-upon times (“In-Person Services”), in which case the Client shall (a) provide a physical office space commensurate with that of an executive officer of Client and (b) reimburse Consultant for all of his reasonable travel, lodging, entertainment, and meal expenses incurred in connection with such In-Person Services.
The Client may not and shall not exert direction or control over the manner in which the Services are provided. Consultant is free to accept any employment or consulting work outside this Agreement that Consultant chooses, provided it does not interfere with any restrictions pursuant to (a) Section 4.12 of the SPA or (b) Section 1.3 of the Software Licensing Agreement (as defined in the SPA).
Consultant shall perform the Services in a professional, skillful and competent manner in conformance with the standards of care and quality practiced by consultants with experience performing similar services, and Consultant shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations, ordinances and codes in the performance of the Services. Other than the In-Person Services, all Services may be provided remotely by telephone, email and other electronic means from such locations as Consultant chooses and, upon Consultant’s reasonable prior notice to Client, Consultant shall not be required to provide Services while travelling from his residences or while on vacation or holiday.
In the event that Consultant is required to provide litigation support services pursuant to Section 4.5 of the SPA, Consultant shall be entitled to a customary and reasonable per diem consulting fee for a senior insurance executive as reasonably determined by the Client (including travel time) and the reimbursement of his reasonable travel, lodging and meal expenses incurred in connection therewith. Consultant shall have the benefit of the indemnity provided in Section 6.1 below in respect of such litigation support services.
Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, the Performance Payments (as defined in the SPA), any other of Consultant’s entitlements under the SPA and amounts due under the Software Licensing Agreement are not subject to offset by Client or Buyer (as defined in the SPA) as a result of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by Consultant.
Representations and Warranties. Consultant represents and warrants that Consultant: (a) is not bound by any employment-related covenant, agreement or other obligation (a “Covenant”) that restricts Consultant from performing the Services; (b) has provided the Client with copies of all Covenants to which Consultant is a party; (c) has not taken and will not take, without authorization,




EXHIBIT B

Term. This Agreement shall be effective as of [insert Closing Date] (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue until the earlier of (a) the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date; and (b) termination of the Agreement by the Client upon fourteen (14) days’ written notice to Consultant (the “Term”). Upon expiration the Term for any reason, Consultant shall promptly deliver to the Company all Deliverables (defined below) and any of the Client’s property in Consultant’s possession, and shall permanently erase all Confidential Information (defined below) in Consultant’s possession.
Independent Contractor Status. Neither this Agreement nor any other shall be construed to create an employer-employee, partnership or joint venture relationship between the Client and Consultant. Consultant is an independent contractor and not an employee of the Client. The consideration set forth in this Agreement shall be the sole consideration due Consultant for the Services. Consultant is not authorized to, and shall not, make or undertake any agreement, understanding, waiver or representation on behalf of the Client. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of this Agreement, Consultant shall not be entitled to any employment benefits of any kind, including, without limitation, health, life, disability or other insurance, vacation, retirement, equity compensation or any other benefits that the Client provides its employees. Any persons employed or engaged by Consultant in connection with the Services shall be Consultant’s employees or contractors and Consultant shall be solely responsible for them and indemnify the Client against any claims made by or on behalf of any such employee or contractors.
Confidentiality and Intellectual Property.
Confidentiality.
Consultant acknowledges that Consultant will have access to information that is treated as confidential and proprietary by the Company, including, without limitation, trade secrets, technology and information pertaining to the business operations, strategies, customers, pricing, marketing, finances, and personnel of the Client, its affiliates or their suppliers or customers (collectively, “Confidential Information”).
Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than through Consultant’s breach of this Agreement; or (ii) any such information was or becomes available to such party on a non-confidential basis and from a source (other than a party to this Agreement or the SPA or any Affiliate (as defined in the SPA) or representative of such party) that is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information.

PARENT PREFERRED STOCK TERMS

EXHIBIT D

PARENT PREFERRED STOCK TERMS

Voting Rights

Except as otherwise required under applicable law, the holders of Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to Vote.

Rank
    
With respect to the payment of dividends and other distributions on the capital stock of Parent, including distribution of the assets of Parent upon liquidation, the Preferred Shares shall be prior and superior to the common shares of Parent (the “Common Shares”) and no dividend shall be declared and paid on the Common Shares unless dividends shall have been declared and paid on the Preferred Shares.

Dividends

Dividends on the Preferred Shares shall accrue on a daily basis at the prorated annual rate of $0.045 per Preferred Share and shall be cumulative. The holders of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive annual dividends or distributions, when and as declared by the board of directors of Parent. Parent may elect to pay dividends on the Preferred Shares to each holder of Preferred Shares pro rata in additional Preferred Shares with a value equal to the amount of the dividends, provided to the extent Parent does not pay a dividend on the Preferred Shares in cash or in additional shares, the dividend shall accrue and accumulate compounded yearly whether or not such dividend was declared. No dividends shall be paid on any Common Shares until dividends on the Preferred Shares shall have been paid or declared and set apart. The holders of the Preferred Shares will be entitled to the greater of the dividend on the Common Shares and the Preferred Shares in that fiscal year.

Liquidation Preferences

Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Parent, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), before any distribution or payment shall be made to any of the holders of Common Shares, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of Parent, an amount in cash or kind for each Preferred Share equal to the greater of (i) US$1.00 per Preferred Share (as such amount shall be appropriately adjusted to take into account stock splits, stock dividends and similar events) plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon and (ii) the amount it would receive in the Liquidation if the Preferred Share had been converted to Common Shares immediately prior to the Liquidation (the “Liquidation Amount”).

If, upon any Liquidation, the assets of Parent shall be insufficient to pay the Liquidation Amount, then the net assets of Parent shall be distributed among the holders of the Preferred Shares ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled and such distributions may be made in cash or in property taken at its fair value, or both, at the election of the board of directors of Parent.

After payment in full of the Liquidation Amount, including without limitation all declared and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Shares, the assets of Parent legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Common Shares.

Conversion

Each Preferred Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time or from time to time after the date that is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the issuance date of such Share, at the office of Parent or any transfer agent for the Preferred Shares, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Shares as is determined by multiplying the number of the Preferred Shares by the “Conversion Factor” at the time in effect for such share. The initial Conversion Factor per share for Preferred Shares shall be equal to 0.05; provided, however, that such Conversion Factor shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Parent’s memorandum of association and articles of association (collectively, the “Cayman Articles”).

Adjustments

The Conversion Factor of the Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment as provided in the Cayman Articles.

Redemption
Parent may redeem all or any of the outstanding shares of Preferred Shares at any time or times at a redemption price equal to US$1.00 per share, payable in cash, commencing on the earlier of two years after their date of issuance. Parent shall give at least sixty (60) days prior written notice to each holder whose Preferred Shares are to be so redeemed. In the event that less than all of the outstanding Preferred Shares are to be redeemed, unless otherwise agreed to by the holders of 100% of the then outstanding Preferred Shares in writing, Parent shall select those shares to be redeemed from each holder of Preferred Shares pro rata, in proportion to the number of Preferred Shares held by such holders.
