NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and of other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree
as follows:


 


ARTICLE
I



INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY; FORMATION AND LICENSING EXPENSES


 


1.1                                 Share Issuances
to Original Shareholders.


 


(a)                        On or about the Original Date, the Company issued and sold to
each Original Shareholder, and each Original Shareholder purchased from the
Company, 100 Shares at a purchase price of $250.00 per Share.


 


(b)                       Within five business days after the Company notified the
Original Shareholders that the Department of Insurance of the State of Indiana
had notified the Company that it intended to commence its financial review of
the Company, the Company issued and sold to each Original Shareholder, and each
Original Shareholder purchased from the Company, an additional 19,900 Shares at
a purchase price of $250.00 per Share.


 


1.2                                 Future Share
Issuances.  No
Shareholder shall be obligated to purchase additional Shares or any other
securities of the Company and any future proposed issuance and sale of Shares
or any other securities of the Company shall be subject to Section 3.2,
except to the extent otherwise provided under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the parties hereto acknowledge that the Company may need to seek
additional capital in the future and that it is the intention of the
Shareholders that they each may, but shall not be obligated to, contribute to
the Company up to an additional $5 million of capital during the period between
the second and fifth anniversaries of the Original Date.


 


1.3                                 Formation and
Licensing Expenses.  The Company
shall pay for all costs, fees and expenses in connection with the formation and

Company for such amounts paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in equal
proportion.  The Shareholders shall
reimburse the Company for such amounts paid by the Company on or after the date
hereof in equal proportion.


 


1.4                                 Share Issuance

Agreement and, upon such purchase, GOV shall then become a Shareholder
effective as of such purchase.

ARTICLE
II



BOARD COMPOSITION


 


2.1                                 Board
Composition.


 


(a)                        For as long as the Shareholders collectively own a majority
of the issued and outstanding Shares, the board of directors of the Company
(the “Board”) shall consist of not less than five nor more than fifteen
members, with the actual number determined in accordance with the Bylaws of the
Company, as in effect from time to time, and subject in all instances to this Section 2.1.  As of the date of this Agreement, the Board
shall initially consist of thirteen members. 
For so long as required by applicable Indiana law, at least one member
of the Board shall be an Indiana resident. 
Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(c), no Shareholder
having a right to designate any director pursuant to this Article II shall
be required to designate an Indiana resident as a director pursuant to such
right; provided, however, that this sentence shall in no way limit the application
of the immediately preceding sentence.


 


(b)                       For so long as a Shareholder (other than RMR) owns not less
than 10%  of the  issued
and outstanding Shares, such Shareholder shall have the right to designate two
directors for election to the Board.


 


(c)                        For so long as RMR owns not less than 10%  of
the  issued and outstanding Shares, RMR
shall have the right to designate three directors for election to the
Board.  For so long as RMR has the right
to designate directors pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Indiana
law requires the Board to include an Indiana resident as a director of the
Company and no other Shareholder designates an Indiana resident as a director
of the Company, RMR shall designate at least one Indiana resident to be a
director.


 


(d)                       Each Shareholder will vote, execute and deliver written
consents and take all other necessary action (including, if necessary, causing
the Company to call a special meeting of shareholders of the Company) in favor
of the election of each director designated by a Shareholder in accordance with
this Article II and otherwise to ensure that the composition of the Board
is at all times as set forth in this Article II.  Each Shareholder agrees that it will not vote
any of its Shares in favor of removal of any director designated by another
Shareholder unless such other Shareholder shall have consented to such removal
in writing.  Each Shareholder agrees to
cause to be called, if necessary, a special meeting of shareholders of the
Company and to vote all the Shares owned by such Shareholder for, or to take
all actions in lieu of any such meeting necessary to cause, the removal of any
director designated by such Shareholder if the Shareholder entitled to
designate such director requests in writing, signed by such Shareholder, such
director’s removal for any reason or no reason.


 


(e)                        If, as a result of death, disability, retirement,
resignation, removal or otherwise, there shall exist or occur any vacancy with
respect to any director previously designated by a Shareholder in accordance
with such Shareholder’s right under this Article II to so designate such
director, such Shareholder shall have the right to designate a replacement
director.  Upon such designation, the
Shareholders shall promptly take all action necessary to ensure the election of
such replacement director to fill the unexpired term of the director whom 


 


3

















 


such new director is replacing, including, if necessary,
calling a special meeting of shareholders of the Company and voting their
Shares, or executing any written consent in lieu thereof, in favor of the
election of such director.


 


ARTICLE
III



TRANSFER OF SHARES; 

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS; CALL RIGHTS


 


3.1                                 Transfer of
Shares; No Pledging of Shares.


 


(a)                        The Shareholders may not, directly or indirectly, transfer
any Shares, except that a Shareholder may transfer Shares owned by it to a
wholly owned subsidiary of such Shareholder, to another Shareholder or to a
wholly owned subsidiary of another Shareholder. 
Any purported transfer of Shares in contravention of this Section 3.1
shall be null and void and of no force or effect.


 


(b)                       The Shareholders may not pledge their Shares (other than
pledges arising from the operation of law and not as a result of the Shareholder’s
express granting of a pledge); provided, however, that any pledge or other
lien, charge or encumbrance which may arise by application of the terms of any
agreement, contract, license, permit or instrument existing, for any of the
Original Shareholders, on the Original Date, and for GOV, on the date hereof
(an “Existing Pledge”), on a Shareholder’s Shares shall not be a
violation of this Section 3.1(b); and provided further, however, any
transfer which results from exercise of rights under a permitted lien, charge
or encumbrance shall be subject to the call rights of the Company and the other
Shareholders set forth in Section 3.3 to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law and existing contracts as if such a transfer constitutes a “Change
of Control”.  Any Shareholder whose
Shares would be subject to an Existing Pledge shall use best efforts to cause
the pledgee under an Existing Pledge, prior to any exercise by the pledgee of
its rights on the Shareholder’s Shares, to take all actions under applicable
law which are required to be taken prior to any such exercise, including
obtaining any necessary approvals from the Indiana Department of Insurance and
Indiana Insurance Commissioner.


 


3.2                                 Preemptive
Rights.


 


(a)                        If, at any time after the date hereof, the Company wishes to
issue any capital stock of the Company or any other securities convertible into
or exchangeable or exercisable for capital stock of the Company (collectively, “New
Securities”) to any person or entity (the “Subject Purchaser”), then
the Company shall first offer the Appropriate Percentage (as defined herein) of
the New Securities (the “Allocated Shares”) to each Shareholder (each, a
“Preemptive Rightholder” and collectively, the “Preemptive
Rightholders”) by sending written notice (the “New Issuance Notice”)
to each of the Preemptive Rightholders, which New Issuance Notice shall state
the terms of such proposed issuance, including the number of New Securities
proposed to be issued and the proposed purchase price per security of the New
Securities (the “Proposed Price”). 
Upon delivery of the New Issuance Notice, such offer shall be
irrevocable unless and until the Company shall have terminated the contemplated
issuance of New Securities 


 


4

















 


in its entirety at which time the rights set forth herein
shall be applicable to any proposed issuance subsequent to any such
termination.  For purposes of this Section 3.2,
“Appropriate Percentage” shall mean that percentage of the New
Securities determined by dividing (i) the total number of Shares then
owned by a Preemptive Rightholder by (ii) the total number of Shares owned
by all the Preemptive Rightholders.


 


(b)                       For a period of 20 days after the giving of the New Issuance
Notice pursuant to Section 3.2(a) (the “Initial Preemptive
Subscription Period”), each of the Preemptive Rightholders shall have the
right to purchase, in whole or in part, the Allocated Shares offered to such
Preemptive Rightholder as determined pursuant to Section 3.2(a) at a
purchase price equal to the Proposed Price and upon the terms and conditions
set forth in the New Issuance Notice.


 


(c)                        The right of each Preemptive Rightholder to purchase the New
Securities so offered under Section 3.2(b) shall be exercisable by
delivering written notice of the exercise thereof, prior to the expiration of
the Initial Preemptive Subscription Period, to the Company, which notice shall
state the amount of New Securities that such Preemptive Rightholder elects to
purchase pursuant to Section 3.2(a). 
The failure of a Preemptive Rightholder to respond prior to the
expiration of the Initial Preemptive Subscription Period shall be deemed to be
a waiver of such Preemptive Rightholder’s rights under this Agreement solely
with respect to its right to purchase the New Securities referenced in the New
Issuance Notice; provided that each Preemptive Rightholder may waive its rights
under Section 3.2(b) prior to the expiration of Initial Preemptive
Subscription Period by giving written notice of such waiver to the Company.


 


(d)                       If as of the expiration of the Initial Preemptive
Subscription Period, some but not all of the Preemptive Rightholders have
exercised their right to purchase the full amount of New Securities to which
they are entitled to purchase pursuant to Sections 3.2(b) and (c) (any
such Preemptive Rightholder which has exercised in full its rights to purchase
such New Securities, a “Fully Exercising Preemptive Rightholder”), the
Fully Exercising Preemptive Rightholders shall have the right to purchase, in
whole or in part, their Oversubscription Appropriate Percentage (as defined
herein) of the New Securities which the Preemptive Rightholders did not
exercise their right to purchase pursuant to Sections 3.2(b) and (c) (the
“Undersubscribed Shares”) at a purchase price equal to the Proposed
Price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the New Issuance
Notice.  The right of the Fully
Exercising Preemptive Rightholders to purchase the Undersubscribed Shares may
be exercised for a period of ten days following the earlier of the expiration
of the Initial Preemptive Subscription Period or the date on which notice is
given by the Company to such Fully Exercising Preemptive Rightholders that all
the Preemptive Rightholders have either exercised their right to purchase the
New Securities pursuant to Sections 3.2(b) and (c) or waived their
rights to purchase any of such New Securities pursuant to Section 3.2(c) (the
“Oversubscription Period”).  For
purposes of this Section 3.2, “Oversubscription Appropriate Percentage”
shall mean that percentage of the Undersubscribed Shares determined by dividing
(i) the total number of Shares then owned by a Fully Exercising Preemptive
Rightholder by (ii) the total number of Shares owned by all the Fully
Exercising Preemptive Rightholders.


 


(e)                        The right of each Fully Exercising Preemptive Rightholder to
purchase Undersubscribed Shares pursuant to Section 3.2(d) shall be
exercisable by delivering 


 


5

















 


written notice of the exercise thereof, prior to the
expiration of the Oversubscription Period, to the Company, which notice shall
state the amount of Undersubscribed Shares that such Fully Exercising
Preemptive Rightholder elects to purchase pursuant to Section 3.2(d).  The failure of a Fully Exercising Preemptive
Rightholder to respond prior to the expiration of the Oversubscription Period
shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Fully Exercising Preemptive Rightholder’s
rights under this Agreement solely with respect to its right to purchase the
Undersubscribed Shares included in the New Securities referenced in the New
Issuance Notice; provided that each Fully Exercising Preemptive Rightholder may
waive its rights under Section 3.2(d) prior to the expiration of
Oversubscription Period by giving written notice of such waiver to the Company.


 


(f)                          The closing of the purchase of New Securities subscribed for
by the Preemptive Rightholders, including the Fully Exercising Preemptive
Rightholders, pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be held at such time and
place as the parties to the transaction may reasonably agree.  At such closing, the New Securities
subscribed for shall be issued by the Company free and clear of all liens,
charges or encumbrances (other than those arising hereunder and those
attributable to actions by the purchasers thereof).  Each Preemptive Rightholder, including each
Fully Exercising Preemptive Rightholder, purchasing the New Securities shall
deliver at the closing payment in full in immediately available funds for the
New Securities purchased by it.  At such
closing, all of the parties to the transaction shall execute such additional
documents as are otherwise necessary, appropriate or customary for similar
financing transactions.  If any
Preemptive Rightholder, including any Fully Exercising Preemptive Rightholder,
fails to purchase any New Securities for which it exercised its right to
purchase pursuant to Sections 3.2(b) and (c) or 3.2(d) and (e),
such New Securities may be purchased by the Fully Exercising Preemptive
Rightholders which did purchase all the New Securities for which they exercised
their rights to purchase pursuant to Sections 3.2(b), (c), (d) and (e) in
the same manner provided in this Section 3.2 with respect to
Undersubscribed Shares and the resulting Oversubscription Period with respect
to such right to purchase shall be an “Oversubscription Period” for all
instances such term is used in this Section 3.2.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the
obligations and liability of any Preemptive Rightholder, including any Fully
Exercising Preemptive Rightholder, which fails to purchase any New Securities
for which it exercised its right to purchase pursuant to Sections 3.2(b) and
(c) or 3.2(d) and (e) shall not be relieved as a result of any
Fully Exercising Preemptive Rightholder’s right to purchase, or any actual
purchase by any Fully Exercising Preemptive Rightholder of, any such New
Securities.


 


(g)                       Following the expiration of the later of the Initial
Preemptive Subscription Period and, if applicable, the Oversubscription Period,
if the Preemptive Rightholders, including any Fully Exercising Preemptive
Rightholders, did not exercise their right to purchase any of the New
Securities, including the Undersubscribed Shares, which were originally the
subject of the New Issuance Notice, then the Company may sell the remaining New
Securities to the Subject Purchaser on terms and conditions that are no more
favorable to the Subject Purchaser than those set forth in the New Issuance
Notice; provided, however, that such sale is bona fide and made pursuant to a
contract entered into between the Company and the Subject Purchaser and that
such sale is consummated by not later than 90 days following the earlier to
occur of (i) receipt by the Company of written waivers pursuant to Section 3.2(c) from
all the Preemptive Rightholders of their rights to purchase the Appropriate
Percentage of New 


 


6

















 


Securities and, if applicable, written waivers pursuant to Section 3.2(e) from
all the Fully Exercising Preemptive Rightholders of their rights to purchase
the Oversubscription Appropriate Percentage of New Securities, and (ii) the
expiration of the Oversubscription Period, if applicable, and if not
applicable, the expiration of the Initial Preemptive Subscription Period.  If the sale of any of the New Securities is
not consummated by the expiration of such 90 day period, then the preemptive
rights afforded to the Shareholders under this Section 3.2 shall again
become effective, and no issuance and sale of New Securities may be made
thereafter by the Company without again offering the same in accordance with
this Section 3.2.


 


3.3                                 Change of
Control Call Option.


 


(a)                        By not later than five days following a Change of Control (as
defined herein or in Section 3.1(b)) of any Shareholder, such Shareholder
shall give the Company and each other Shareholder notice of such Change of
Control and shall disclose the number of Shares and any other securities of the
Company which were owned by the Shareholder as of immediately prior to such
Change of Control of such Shareholder (the “Change of Control Securities”).  If the Shareholder fails to give the notice
required by the preceding sentence by the time required thereby, and another Shareholder
or the Company is or becomes aware that such Shareholder underwent a Change of
Control, then (i) if it is a Shareholder that is or becomes aware of such
Change of Control, that Shareholder shall reasonably promptly inform the
Company of such Change of Control and upon the Company being of the reasonable
belief that such a Change of Control has occurred, the Company shall reasonably
promptly provide the notice to the Shareholders that such Shareholder which
underwent the Change of Control failed to provide, or (ii) if it is the
Company that is or becomes aware of such Change of Control, the Company shall
reasonably promptly provide the notice that such Shareholder which underwent
the Change of Control failed to provide. 
Any liability of a Shareholder which undergoes a Change of Control for
failure to give the notice required by the first sentence of this Section 3.3(a) shall
not be relieved as a result of the Company or any other Shareholder being
obligated to give, or giving, the notice required by the second sentence of
this Section 3.3(a).


 


(b)                       For a period of 20 days following the receipt of a notice
given pursuant to Section 3.3(a), the Company shall have the right to
purchase from such Shareholder (or its successor, as applicable), in whole or
in part, the Change of Control Securities. 
The purchase price for the Change of Control Securities shall be the
book value, as determined in accordance with the statutory accounting
principles applicable to the Company, of the Change of Control Securities as of
the time such Shareholder underwent the Change of Control (the “Call Option
Purchase Price”).  To exercise its
right to purchase the Change of Control Securities, the Company shall deliver
written notice of such exercise to the Shareholder which underwent the Change
of Control and the other Shareholders prior to the expiration of such 20 day
call exercise period.  The closing for
any such exercised call option shall occur on the fifth business day (or such
longer period as may be required by applicable law or in order to obtain
applicable regulatory approval) following receipt of the Company’s notice of
exercise of its call option by the Shareholder which underwent the Change of
Control, or on such other date as may be agreed by the Company and such Shareholder.  At its option, the Company may pay in cash
the entire amount of the Call Option Purchase Price at such closing or it may
elect to defer any amount of the Call Option Purchase Price.  Any amounts so deferred shall bear interest
at the Deferred 


 


7

















 


Interest Rate (as defined herein).  The Company may pay any such deferred amounts
and accrued interest thereon at any time and from time to time; provided,
however, that all such deferred amounts and accrued but unpaid interest, shall
be due and payable on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the applicable
call option exercise.


 


(c)                        Shareholders other than the Shareholder which underwent the
Change of Control shall have the right to purchase, in whole or in part, any
Change of Control Securities not elected to be purchased by the Company
pursuant to Section 3.3(b) at a price equal to the Call Option
Purchase Price.  To exercise its right to
purchase the Change of Control Securities, the applicable Shareholder shall
deliver written notice of such exercise to the Shareholder which underwent the
Change of Control, the Company and the other Shareholders by not later than the
20 days following the earlier of (i) the expiration of the 20 day period
during which the Company has the right to exercise its call option for the
Change of Control Securities pursuant to Section 3.3(b) and (ii) the
date the Company waives its right to purchase such Change of Control Securities
and has given notice of the same to all the Shareholders (such deadline for
exercising a right to purchase Change of Control Securities referred to as the “Call
Option Exercise Deadline”).  The
notice of exercise shall indicate the number of Change of Control Securities
that the Shareholder seeks to purchase. 
If the aggregate number of Change of Control Securities sought to be
purchased by the exercising Shareholders (determined by adding all the eligible
securities each Shareholder states it seeks to purchase in its notice of
exercise) exceeds the actual number of Change of Control Securities eligible
for purchase, the number of Change of Control Securities which may be purchased
by a particular applicable Shareholder shall be reduced by an amount equal to
the product of the aggregate number of such excess Change of Control Securities
sought to be purchased by all the exercising Shareholders multiplied by
the quotient of (x) the number of Shares owned by all eligible
Shareholders which are exercising their call option rights minus the
number of Shares owned by the particular applicable exercising Shareholder divided
by (y) the number of Shares owned by all eligible Shareholders which
are exercising their call option rights, with any such result rounded up or
down to the nearest whole share as reasonably determined by the Company.  The closing of any such exercised call option
shall occur on the fifth business day (or such longer period as may be required
by applicable law or in order to obtain applicable regulatory approval)
following the Call Option Exercise Deadline, or on such other date as may be
agreed by the exercising Shareholder, the Company and the Shareholder which
underwent the Change of Control.  At its
option, the exercising Shareholder may pay in cash the entire amount of the
Call Option Purchase Price at such closing or it may elect to defer any amount
of the Call Option Purchase Price.  Any
amounts so deferred shall bear interest at the Deferred Interest Rate.  The exercising Shareholder may pay any such
deferred amounts and accrued interest thereon at any time and from time to
time; provided, however, that all such deferred amounts and accrued but unpaid
interest, shall be due and payable on the fifth anniversary of the closing of
the applicable call option exercise.

OTHER COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS


 


5.1                                 Organizational
Documents.  Subject to
applicable law, each Shareholder shall vote its Shares or execute any consents
necessary, and each Shareholder and the Company shall take all other actions
necessary, to ensure that the Company’s organizational documents facilitate,
and do not at any time conflict with any provision of, this Agreement or any
applicable law, and to ensure that the provisions hereof are implemented
notwithstanding any inconsistent provision in the Company’s organizational
documents.  The parties hereto agree to
amend, if necessary, the Company’s organizational documents to conform to the
provisions set forth in this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable
law.  In the event of any actual or apparent
inconsistency between this Agreement and the organizational documents, then, as

Agreement shall control.


 


5.2                                 Reports and

as a Shareholder owns not less than 10% of all the issued and outstanding
Shares, the Company shall provide periodically, through the director(s) designated
by such Shareholder under Section 2.1, to the Shareholder financial
information regarding the Company and its operations and the Company shall
permit the Shareholder and its representatives reasonable access to the
financial reports and records of the Company so that the Shareholder may comply

disclosure obligations under the federal securities laws and other applicable
laws.

Laws.  The Company shall comply in
all material respects with all applicable laws governing its business and
operations.  Except as provided in Section 5.7,
if a Shareholder, by virtue of such Shareholder’s ownership interest in the
Company or actions taken by the Shareholder affecting the Company, triggers the
application of any requirement or regulation of any federal, state, municipal
or other governmental or regulatory body on the Company or any subsidiary of
the Company or any of their respective businesses, assets or operations,
including any obligations to make any filing with or otherwise notifying or
obtaining the consent, approval or other action of any federal, state,
municipal or other governmental or regulatory body, such Shareholder shall
promptly take all actions necessary and fully cooperate with the Company to
ensure that such requirements or regulations are satisfied without restricting,
imposing additional obligations on or in any way limiting the business, assets,
operations or prospects of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.  Each Shareholder shall use best efforts to
cause its shareholders, directors (or analogous position), nominees for
director (or analogous position), officers, employees and agents to comply with
any applicable laws impacting the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their
respective businesses, assets or operations.

Company in furtherance of the Company’s underwriting of insurance policies and
coverage with respect to the Shareholders and their respective businesses,
assets and properties as well as in furtherance of the development and
execution of the Company’s business as an insurer.  The Shareholders

their applicable insurance policies and coverage to the Company so that the
Company or its third party agents or contracting parties shall become the
underwriters of such current and future policies and coverage.


 


(b)                       Each of the parties shall execute such documents and perform
such further acts (including obtaining any consents, exemptions, authorizations
or other actions by, or giving any notices to, or making any filings with, any
governmental authority) as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out
or to perform the provisions of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby, including in connection with any subsequent exercise by a party of a
right afforded hereunder to such party.


 


5.5                                 Confidentiality.  Except as may be required by applicable law
or the rules of any national securities exchange upon which a party’s
shares are listed for trading, none of the parties hereto shall make any
disclosure concerning this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or
the business, operations and financial affairs of the Company without prior
approval by the other parties hereto; provided, however, that nothing in this
Agreement shall restrict any of the parties from disclosing information (a) that
is already publicly available, (b) that was known to such party on a
non-confidential basis prior to any relevant disclosure, (c) that may be
required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection
with any litigation, provided that such party will use reasonable efforts to
notify the other party in advance of such disclosure so as to permit the other
party to seek a protective order or otherwise contest such disclosure, and such
party will use reasonable efforts to cooperate, at the expense of the other
party, with the other party in pursuing any such protective order, (d) to
the extent that such party reasonably believes it appropriate in order to
protect its investment in its Shares in order to comply with any applicable
law, (e) to such party’s officers, directors, trustees, advisors,
employees, auditors or counsel or (f) as warranted pursuant to the parties’
disclosure obligations under federal securities laws.


 


5.6                                 Required
Regulatory Approvals.  Certain

contained in this Agreement, any such transactions requiring filings with and

party hereto, be entered into or consummated unless and until the required

been obtained, and to the extent not within the control of an applicable party
hereto, such party shall use best efforts to cause such transactions not to be
entered into or consummated unless and until the required filings have been
made and the required approvals (or non-disapprovals) have been obtained.

reasonably cooperate with any request of such Shareholder (or its affiliate)
pertaining to such real estate investment trust status or taxation under the

delivered by the Shareholder and constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Shareholder, enforceable against it in accordance with its

no lapse of a waiting period under any applicable law, statute, regulation,
order or decree, is necessary or required in connection with the execution,
delivery or performance by the Shareholder of this Agreement or the

properties.


 


(f)                           Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  The Shares are being
acquired for investment for the Shareholder’s own account, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof,
and the Shareholder has no present intention of selling, granting any
participation with respect to or otherwise distributing the Shares.  Except as provided by this Agreement, the
Shareholder does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement
with any person or entity to sell or transfer to any person or entity, or grant
participation rights to any person or entity with respect to, any of the
Shares.

information from the Company and its management that the Shareholder considers
necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares
hereunder.  The Shareholder further
represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
from the Company regarding the Company, its financial condition, results of
operations and prospects and the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Shares sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment.

(h)                        Investment Experience and Accredited Investor Status.  The Shareholder is
an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities
Act).  The Shareholder has such knowledge
and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares to be purchased
hereunder.


 


(i)                            Restricted Securities.    The Shareholder understands that the
Shares, when issued, shall be “restricted securities” under the federal
securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a
transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws the Shares
may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain
limited circumstances.

(a)                        No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising

shall be deemed to be an
original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement.


 


8.5                                 Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.


 


8.6                                 Governing Law. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of Indiana without regard to the conflicts of laws rules thereof,
which would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.


 


8.7                                 Dispute
Resolution


 


(a)                                  Any disputes, claims or controversies between the parties (i) arising
out of or relating to this Agreement, the Company, its business, assets or
operations or any insurance policies or coverage underwritten by the Company or
any of its third party agents in furtherance of the Company’s insurance
business or (ii) brought by or on behalf of any shareholder of the Company
(which, for purposes of this Section 8.7, shall mean any shareholder of
record or any beneficial owner of shares of the Company, or any former
shareholder of record or beneficial owner of shares of the Company), either on
his, her or its own behalf, on behalf of the Company or on behalf of any series
or class of shares of the Company or shareholders of the Company against the
Company or any director, officer, manager (including RMR or its successor),
agent or employee of the Company, including disputes, claims or controversies
relating to the meaning, interpretation, effect, validity, performance or
enforcement of this Agreement or the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the
Company (all of which are referred to as “Disputes”), or relating in any
way to such a Dispute or Disputes shall, on the demand of any party to such
Dispute, be resolved through binding and final arbitration in accordance with
the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American
Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect, except as those Rules may
be modified in this Section 8.7. 
For the avoidance of doubt, and not as a limitation, Disputes are
intended to include derivative actions against directors, officers or managers
of the Company and class actions by a shareholder against those individuals or
entities and the Company.  For the
avoidance of doubt, a Dispute shall include a Dispute made derivatively on
behalf of one party against another party.


 


(b)                                 There shall be three arbitrators.  If there are only two parties to the Dispute,
each party shall select one arbitrator within 15 days after receipt by
respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration.  Such arbitrators may be affiliated or
interested persons of such parties.  If
either party fails to timely select an arbitrator, the other party to the
Dispute shall select the second arbitrator who shall be neutral and impartial
and shall not be affiliated with or an interested person of either party.  If there are more than two parties to the
Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other
hand, shall each select, by the vote of a majority of the claimants or the
respondents, as the case may be, one arbitrator. Such arbitrators may be
affiliated or interested persons of the claimants or the respondents, as the
case may be.  If either all claimants or
all respondents fail to timely select an arbitrator then such arbitrator (who
shall be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) shall be appointed
by the AAA.  The two arbitrators so
appointed shall jointly appoint the third and presiding arbitrator (who shall
be neutral, impartial and unaffiliated with any party) within 15 days of the
appointment of the second arbitrator.  If
the third arbitrator has not been appointed within the


 


19

















 


time limit specified herein, then the AAA shall provide a
list of proposed arbitrators in accordance with the Rules, and the arbitrator
shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with a listing, striking and
ranking procedure, with each party having a limited number of strikes,
excluding strikes for cause.


 


(c)                                  The place of arbitration shall be Indianapolis, Indiana
unless otherwise agreed by the parties.


 


(d)                              There shall be only limited documentary discovery of
documents directly related to the issues in dispute, as may be ordered by the
arbitrators.


 


(e)                                  In rendering an award or decision (the “Award”), the
arbitrators shall be required to follow the laws of the State of Indiana.  Any arbitration proceedings or Award rendered
hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration
agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et
seq.  The Award shall be in writing and
may, but shall not be required to, briefly state the findings of fact and
conclusions of law on which it is based.


 


(f)                                    Except to the extent otherwise agreed by the parties, each
party involved in a Dispute shall bear its own costs and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees), and the arbitrators shall not render an award that would
include shifting of any such costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or,
in a derivative case or class action, award any portion of the Company’s award
to the claimant or the claimant’s attorneys. 
Each party (or, if there are more than two parties to the Dispute, all
claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other hand,
respectively) shall bear the costs and expenses of its (or their) selected
arbitrator and the parties (or, if there are more than two parties to the
Dispute, all claimants, on the one hand, and all respondents, on the other
hand) shall equally bear the costs and expenses of the third appointed
arbitrator.


 


(g)                                 An Award shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto
and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between such parties relating to the
Dispute, including any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to
the arbitrators.  Judgment upon the Award
may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no
application or appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction may be made in
connection with any question of law arising in the course of arbitration or
with respect to any award made except for actions relating to enforcement of
this agreement to arbitrate or any arbitral award issued hereunder and except
for actions seeking interim or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration
proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction.


 


(h)                                 Any monetary award shall be made and payable in U.S. dollars
free of any tax, deduction or offset. 
Each party against which the Award assesses a monetary obligation shall
pay that obligation on or before the 30th day following the date of the Award or such
other date as the Award may provide.


 


(i)                                     This Section 8.7 is intended to benefit and be
enforceable by the shareholders, directors, officers, managers (including RMR
or its successor), agents or employees of the Company and the Company and shall
be binding on the shareholders of the


 


20

















 


Company and the Company, as applicable, and shall be in
addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification
or contribution that such individuals or entities may have by contract or
otherwise.

negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or
question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed
as jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof
shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of
any provision of this Agreement.


 


8.9                              Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions
contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity,
legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of
the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired, unless the
provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall substantially impair
the benefits of the remaining provisions hereof.


 


8.10                           Entire
