    1.          Termination.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that, (i) as promptly as practicable, and in any
          event within three business days after the commencement of the IPO, Trean Insurance Group (as assignee of BIC Holdings’ obligations under the BIC Consulting Agreement) shall pay or cause to be paid to Advisor [●] Dollars ($[●]) (the “BIC Exit Fee Amount”), and Trean Insurance Group (as assignee of Trean Holdings’

          to Advisor as provided above, and (b) the obligations of Trean Insurance Group (as assignee of BIC Holdings’ and Trean Holdings’ obligations under the Consulting Agreements) provided under Section 9 of each Consulting Agreement.

    

    

    
      

      
        


      

    

    

    

    2.          Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Party and its respective successors and assigns.

    

    

    3.          Further Assurances.  Each Party will execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably
        required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

    

    

    4.          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior communication or agreement
        with respect thereto.

    

    

    5.          Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of Delaware (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable Delaware principles of
        conflicts of law) as to all matters, including but not limited to matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.

    

    

    6.          Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any
        applicable law in any particular respect or under any particular circumstances, such finding shall in no event invalidate any other provision of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such provision were not contained
        in this Agreement to the fullest extent possible consistent with expressing the original intent of this Agreement.

    

    

    7.          Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, including by facsimile or electronic mail, all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument
