Illinois Casualty has delivered to the Standby Purchaser true and complete copies of the Statutory Financial Statements.

(j) Except for insurance claims litigation arising in the ordinary course of business for which adequate reserves have been established, there is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether at law or equity, before or by any Government Entity or before any arbitrator) pending or, to the knowledge of Illinois Casualty, threatened against or affecting Illinois Casualty, the outcome of which would individually or in the aggregate have or be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, nor is there any judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of any Government Entity or arbitrator outstanding against Illinois Casualty that would individually or in the aggregate have or be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(k) The aggregate reserves of Illinois Casualty as recorded in the Financial Statements and Statutory Financial Statements have been determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles consistently applied (except as set forth therein).

All reserves of Illinois Casualty set forth in the Financial Statements and Statutory Financial Statements are fairly stated in accordance with sound actuarial principles and meet the requirements of the insurance laws of the State of Illinois, except where the failure to so state such reserves or meet such requirements would not have or be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

“Representatives”), that the United States securities laws prohibit any Person who has received material, non-public information concerning the Company or the matters which are the subject of this provision from purchasing or selling securities of the Company or from communicating such information to any other Person. The Standby Purchaser agrees, and shall instruct its Representatives, to (i) keep such non-public information provided by the Company strictly confidential, (ii) use the same degree of care to protect such non-public information as each would use to protect its own non-public information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care, and (iii) not disclose the non-public information in any manner whatsoever to any Person, except with the specific prior written consent of the Company. As used in this Section 6(d), “non-public information” shall not include information which (a) is or becomes public knowledge other than as a result of a breach of the obligations of the Standby Purchaser or its Representatives (as defined below); (b) was known to the Standby Purchaser prior to the date of this Agreement, except as provided to the Standby Purchaser pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with Illinois Casualty; (c) becomes available without restriction from a third party not known by the Standby Purchaser to be under any confidentiality obligation to the Company with respect thereto; or (d) is developed by the Standby Purchaser or its Representatives without use of the Company’s non-public information. In the event that the Standby Purchaser or any of its Representatives are requested or required by law, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, administrative regulatory requirement, order, decree or the rules of any applicable stock exchange or similar legal process (collectively, “Law”) to disclose any of the foregoing non-public information, the Standby Purchaser shall (or will direct its Representatives to) provide the Company with prompt prior written notice of such requirement to the extent permissible under applicable Law and reasonably practicable under the circumstances in order to enable the Company to (A) seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy or (B) waive compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this Agreement; and the Standby Purchaser or such Representative shall consult and reasonably cooperate with the Company, at the Company’s expense, with respect to taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of such request or requirement. If, in the absence of a protective order, the Standby Purchaser or such Representative are nonetheless, in the opinion of counsel of such Standby Purchaser or such Representative, as applicable, required by applicable Law to disclose the foregoing non-public information, the Standby Purchaser or such Representative shall (I) furnish only that portion of the foregoing non-public information that, based upon advice of legal counsel, is legally required, (II) give advance notice to the Company of the information to be disclosed as far in advance as is legally permissible and practical, and (III) exercise commercially reasonable efforts, at the Company’s expense, to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such non-public information.

(e) The Company shall at all times reserve and hold available sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 7. Public Statements. Neither the Company nor the Standby Purchaser shall issue any public announcement, statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the other party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except if such public announcement, statement or other disclosure is required by applicable law or applicable stock market regulations, in which case the disclosing party shall consult in advance with respect to such disclosure with the other parties to the extent reasonably practicable.

(k) otherwise take, or solicit, cause or encourage others to take, any action inconsistent with any of the foregoing.

Section 11. Post-Closing Pre-Emptive Rights.

(a) Subject to applicable securities laws, other than the Offerings, following the Closing Date, the Standby Purchaser shall have the right to purchase (its “Gross Up Right”) its pro rata share of all Equity Securities, as defined below, that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue after the date of this Agreement, other than the Equity Securities excluded by Section 11(e) hereof. The Standby Purchaser’s pro rata share is equal to the ratio of (i) the total number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock that the Standby Purchaser is deemed to be a holder immediately prior to the issuance of such Equity Securities to (ii) the total number of shares of the outstanding Common Stock (including all shares of the Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of any securities convertible into the Common Stock or upon the exercise of any outstanding warrants or options) immediately prior to the issuance of the Equity Securities.

(b) If the Company proposes to issue any Equity Securities, it shall give the Standby Purchaser written notice of its intention, describing the Equity Securities and the price and the terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. The Standby Purchaser shall have twenty (20) days from the receipt of such notice (the “Offer Period”) to notify the Company in writing that it intends to exercise its Gross Up Right and as to the amount of Equity Securities the Standby Purchaser intends to purchase, up to the maximum calculated in accordance with Section 11(a) hereof (the “Designated Securities”); provided, however, that if

20

providing the Standby Purchaser twenty (20) days’ notice to respond is not practicable, the Company may provide an earlier deadline for the Standby Purchaser to respond to such notice but giving the Standby Purchaser the maximum number of days to respond as is practicable but in any event no fewer than five (5) days’ notice. Such notice shall constitute a non-binding indication of interest of the Standby Purchaser to purchase the amount of Designated Securities specified by the Standby Purchaser (or a proportionately lesser amount if the amount of Equity Securities to be offered if such offering of Equity Securities is subsequently reduced) at the price (or range of prices) and other terms set forth in the Company’s notice to it. The failure to respond during the Offer Period constitutes a waiver of its Gross Up Right in respect of such offering. The Standby Purchaser shall execute a binding agreement to purchase any such Equity Securities within thirty (30) days after expiration of the Offer Period, and any Equity Securities that the Standby Purchaser indicated it would purchase but that are not covered by a binding purchase agreement at such time may be sold to other Persons, unless the failure to execute such an agreement is attributable to actions of the Company, in which case the Company shall have the right to sell the Equity Securities to other Persons if the Standby Purchaser shall not have executed such an agreement within the later of (i) five (5) Business Days after the reason for such delay has been resolved or (ii) thirty (30) days after expiration of the Offer Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to offer or sell such Equity Securities to the Standby Purchaser if it would cause the Company to be in violation of applicable federal securities or insurance regulatory laws by virtue of such offer or sale.

(c) The Company shall have 180 days after expiration of the Offer Period to sell any Equity Securities in respect of which the Standby Purchaser’s Gross Up Rights were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to the Standby Purchaser pursuant to Section 11(b) hereof. If the Company has not sold such Equity Securities within 180-day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Equity Securities, without first offering such Equity Securities to the Standby Purchaser in the manner provided above.

(d) The Gross Up Rights provided by this Section 11 shall not apply to, and shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the first date upon which the Standby Purchaser no longer beneficially owns shares of the Common Stock representing more than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock immediately prior to an issuance contemplated under Section 11(a) hereof, (b) the date of any breach by the Standby Purchaser of any material obligation under this Agreement that remains uncured after fifteen (15) days’ notice thereof, or (c) the end of the Standstill Period.

(e) The provisions in this Section 11 shall not apply to any issuance of Equity Securities by the Company (i) to employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their employment or services or in a transaction or pursuant to management or employee agreements, incentive programs or stock purchase or equity compensation plans approved by the Board (including any such programs or plans in existence on the date hereof), (ii) by the Company to a third party as consideration in connection with (but not in connection with raising capital to fund) (A) a strategic business combination or other merger, acquisition or disposition transaction, partnership, joint venture, strategic alliance or investment by the Company or similar non-capital

21

raising transaction approved by the Board, or (B) an investment by the Company or its subsidiaries approved by the Board in any party which is not prior to such transaction an Affiliate of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale or exchange of stock, sale of assets or securities, or otherwise), (iii) as part of any offering registered under the Securities Act; provided, that the Standby Purchaser shall not be precluded by the Company, its underwriter(s) or its agent(s) in connection with such offering from purchasing in such offering, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its underwriter(s) or agent(s) engaged in connection with such offering to allocate shares, on the same terms and conditions offered to the public, a sufficient number of Designated Securities, so as to maintain its pro rata share of all Equity Securities, (iv) upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of options, warrants or similar rights or other convertible securities, and (v) in connection with any stock split, stock dividend paid on a proportionate basis to all holders of the affected class of capital stock or recapitalization approved by the Board.

Section 12. Post-Closing Voting. If and for so long as the Standby Purchaser beneficially owns two percent (2.0%) of the shares of the Common Stock and a Standstill Termination Event has not occurred, and subject to the final proviso of this paragraph, the Standby Purchaser shall vote and cause to be voted all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Standby Purchaser (a) for persons nominated and recommended by the Board for election as directors of the Board and against any Person nominated for election as a director by any other Person and (b) as directed or recommended by the Board with respect to any proposal presented at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders, including, but not limited to (i) the entire slate of directors recommended for election by the Board to the shareholders of the Company at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders at which any directors are elected, (ii) any shareholder proposal submitted for a vote at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders, and (iii) any proposal submitted by the Company for a vote at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders relating (A) to the appointment of the Company’s accountants or (B) an equity compensation plan of the Company and/or any material revisions thereto; provided, however, that the Standby Purchaser shall not be bound to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions if the Company is in violation of a material obligation of the Agreement that remains uncured after fifteen (15) days’ notice thereof or if such proposal (1) would have a disproportionate effect on the Standby Purchaser compared to (x) all of the Other Standby Purchasers as a group, or (y) all of the other holders of the Common Stock as a group, or (2) (other than the matters specified in clause (1)) requires approval of a related party transaction between the Company and its Affiliate other than as set forth in clauses (a), (b)(i), (b)(ii), and (b)(iii).

Section 13. Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

22

(ii) if, by action of Illinois Casualty’s board of directors, Illinois Casualty shall have decided to abandon the Plan of Conversion;

(v) if any Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable.

(b) In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13(a), written notice thereof shall as promptly as practicable be given to the other parties to this Agreement and this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned, without further action by any of the parties hereto. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 13(a):

(i) there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of the parties hereto or their respective officers and directors, and all obligations of the parties hereto shall terminate, except for (A) the obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section 13(b), and the provisions of Sections 14 through 20 and Section 22, and (B) any liabilities for any breach by the parties of the terms and conditions of this Agreement prior to such termination; and
