3. “Qualifying Written Premium” is equal to the premium under management. 4. Company shall determine ISA’s incentive commission by taking the factor in the Loss Ratio Factor Row (Table 1), dividing the total by 100, and multiplying by ISA’s Qualifying Written Premium at Calendar Year End. For example: If Company’s Qualifying Written Premium were to end the calendar year at $120,000,000 and have a Loss Ratio Factor of 36% through the Ivantage distribution, the Contingency Commission would be $[***]. 5. “Incentive Period” shall mean the one (1) year period of time beginning January 1 of each calendar year and ending December 31 of each calendar year. 6. “Loss Ratio Factor” is calculated by dividing the incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses (policy level paid and case reserves), net of changes, by earned premium with respect to FedNat Insurance Company or any other insurance company that may be added to Schedule A of the Agreement in the future (FedNat Insurance Company and such other insurance companies shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Insurers”) on policies produced by ISA under the Agreement within the given YTD calendar year. Company will cap each individual catastrophe occurrence as a percentage of the Insurers’ property catastrophe excess of loss retention calculated based on the percentage of Ivantage in-force premium to the Insurers total in-force premium (Ivantage in-force premium / Insurers total in-force premium) as of prior year end. IBNR is specifically excluded in the “Loss Ratio Factor” calculation except that each catastrophe occurrence loss amount will be estimated using the average of the current AIR and RMS catastrophe models, in the long-term perspective, including secondary uncertainty and loss amplification, but excluding storm surge and finalized at the end of the catastrophe occurrence calendar year. 7. The Contingency Commission shall be calculated at the end of the Incentive Period, and the amount so calculated, if any, shall be paid to ISA within ninety (90) days after the end of the Incentive Period. The Contingency Commission calculation shall apply to the first dollar of Subject Business. 8. “Subject Business” means all insurance business underwritten by Company, which has been placed with the Insurers during the Incentive Period pursuant to the Agreement. For clarification purposes, “Subject Business” shall include renewal policies. 9.
