Exhibit 10.4

AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This Amendment to Employment Agreement (the “Amendment”) is entered into by and
between BROWN & BROWN, INC., f/k/a Poe & Brown, Inc., hereinafter called the
“Company,” and C. ROY BRIDGES, hereinafter called “Employee,” effective May 10,
2011, and amends the Employment Agreement in effect between the parties dated
January 12, 1998 (the “Employment Agreement”).

Background

Employee is an executive in the senior leadership of the Company with the title
of “Regional President,” and has responsibility for the performance and results
of various business units, divisions, profit centers and subsidiaries of the
Company and for developing and/or executing strategic plans for the Company
and/or its subsidiaries or affiliated entities (“Affiliates”). The Company is
one of the largest insurance intermediaries in the United States of America. The
Company, through its Affiliates, is in the business of selling and servicing
insurance and risk transfer alternatives including, but not limited to, the
business of quoting, proposing, soliciting, selling, placing, providing,
servicing and/or renewing insurance, reinsurance, and surety products, as well
as loss control, claims administration, risk management, program administration,
Medicare secondary payer statute compliance, Social Security disability advocacy
and other services (“Insurance Business”). The parties have entered into a
Performance Cash Incentive Award Agreement effective May 10, 2011 (the “Award
Agreement”), which includes a requirement that Employee execute and comply with
the terms of an agreement, in a form prescribed by the Company, setting forth
covenants relating to noncompetition, nonsolicitation, confidentiality and
similar covenants for the protection of the Company’s business, and which
provides that compliance with such agreement is a condition of the vesting of
the Performance Cash Incentive Award provided for in the Agreement. The
Employment Agreement includes nonsolicitation, confidentiality and similar
covenants, but does not include a noncompetition covenant. The parties wish to
memorialize, in this Amendment, Employee’s reaffirmation of the covenants
contained in the Employment Agreement, and Employee’s covenant not to compete,
all of which is given in exchange for good and valuable consideration, including
the Company’s entry into the Award Agreement. Employee’s entry into, and
compliance with, this Amendment and the terms of the Employment Agreement are a
condition to the vesting and payment of the cash incentive award that is the
subject of the Award Agreement.

Terms

The provisions set forth above are hereby incorporated into this Amendment as if
set forth herein and the parties, intending to be legally bound, and in exchange
for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, agree as follows:

business of, any person or entity engaged in the Insurance Business in the
United States of America.

2. Affirmation of Covenants. Employee hereby confirms and reaffirms his
agreement to comply with the restrictive covenants contained in the Employment
Agreement, including, without limitation, covenants relating to confidential
information, covenants prohibiting the solicitation or servicing of customers or
prospective customers of the Company, and covenants prohibiting the solicitation
of Company employees for specified periods of time following the cessation of
employment with Company.

of the Employment Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, all of which
together shall comprise one and the same instrument.

Agreement as of the date first written above.
