ARTICLE 2

 (b)    immediately upon the delivery of written notice of termination by
either Party to the other Party if an Event of Bankruptcy occurs regarding such other Party and such Event of Bankruptcy is continuing at the time of the notice; 

(c)    CNA may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Lenders Protection in the event that the SLB Agreement (as
hereinafter defined) is terminated by CNA as a result of the Surplus Lines Broker’s failure to remit payment associated with the Policy as required under the SLB Agreement; provided, however, that prior to such termination,
CNA agrees to work in good faith with the Surplus Lines Broker (and to involve Lenders Protection if it so requests to be involved) to (i) secure payment by Surplus Lines Broker for any such unpaid amounts within a timeframe reasonable to CNA
and (ii) identify, and implement a reasonable plan, strategy or “work-around” to avoid any future interruptions caused by the Surplus Lines Broker’s failure to remit payment; 

(d)    by CNA after thirty (30) days’ written notice of termination to Lenders Protection in the event of a
breach by Lenders Protection of any material term of this Agreement; provided, however, Lenders Protection shall have the right to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after CNA’s delivery of such written notice.
The Parties agree that if Lenders Protection reasonably cures such breach or default, CNA’s notice of termination shall be deemed withdrawn and be of no further force or effect. 

(e)    by Lenders Protection after thirty (30) days’ written notice of termination to CNA in the event of
default or breach by CNA of any material term of this Agreement or the Policy; provided, however, CNA shall have the right to cure such breach or default within thirty (30) days after Lenders Protection’s delivery of
such written notice. The Parties agree that if CNA reasonably cures such breach or default Lenders Protection’s notice of termination shall be deemed withdrawn and be of no further force or effect; 

(f)    immediately upon the delivery by Lenders Protection to CNA of written notice of termination if any Problematic
Change of Control of CNA occurs without CNA’s receipt of Lenders Protection’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; 

(g)    by CNA after one hundred eighty (180) days’ written notice of termination to Lenders Protection if any
Problematic Change of Control of Lenders Protection occurs; 
 (h)    immediately by CNA or Lenders Protection with
respect to any jurisdiction if a Governmental Authority in such jurisdiction finds the Policies to be unenforceable, in whole or in part or otherwise prohibits either Party from providing any of the material services required under this Agreement,
and such default, if curable, is not cured within thirty (30) days following notice of such occurrence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall adhere to any Governmental Authority’s requirements with regard to the offering of
such Policies in the affected jurisdictions; 
 (i)    by Lenders Protection, upon notice, in the event that any carrier
or carriers issuing the Policies (as assigned by CNA), shall fail to maintain an “A-” or better A.M. Best rating;

 (j)    by Lenders Protection or CNA, as applicable and upon notice, in
accordance with Section 3.1 or Section 5.5; 
 (k)    by Lenders Protection, upon notice, at any
time after CNA has breached CNA’s Non-Competition Commitment; 

(l)    Immediately by CNA or Lenders Protection in the event of fraud or willful misconduct on the part of such other
party related to obligations arising from this Agreement; and 
 (m)    by Lenders Protection, upon notice, at any time
after CNA tenders notice of its intent to Compete with Lenders Protection. 
 Section
2.3    Conduct After Termination. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement: 

(a)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, CNA and Lenders Protection shall not be relieved of or released from
any obligation created by or under this Agreement before the termination date of this Agreement. The Parties hereto expressly covenant and agree that they shall cooperate, in good faith, with each other in the handling of all Claims until the end of
the current term of all Policies and likewise until all scheduled loans for each Policy have expired. 
 (b)    Upon
termination or expiration of this Agreement, Lenders Protection shall not facilitate the placement of new loans to CNA through the Program. Additionally, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Lenders Protection shall take all reasonable
action to prevent financial institutions from accessing the Software Platform for purposes of submitting new business relating to the issuance of a Policy pursuant to the Program with CNA. For purposes of establishing absolute clarity, Lenders
Protection shall, at all times, be permitted to allow financial institutions to access the Software Platform for purposes of submitting new business relating to the issuance of Additional Carrier Policies pursuant to the Program. 

(c)    In the event this Agreement is terminated or expired, CNA shall work in good faith following such termination or
expiration date (and shall cause all applicable Insurers to work in good faith) with Lenders Protection and third parties identified by Lenders Protection in connection with the maintenance, support and continuation of the Program (the
“Post-Termination Support”), including but not limited to promptly delivering any and all Run-Off Data requested by Lenders Protection; provided, however, such Run-Off Data shall only be required to be delivered in such manner and at such times as similar data delivered during the Term hereof. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose and objective of such
Post-Termination Support shall be to ensure that the business of Lenders Protection (and the Program offered thereby) continues with the least amount of delay, interference, cost, disruption or other operational inefficiency.

 ARTICLE 3 

PROTECTION OF BUSINESS INTERESTS 

Section 3.1    Protection of Lenders Protection. 

(a)    CNA acknowledges and agrees that its ability to work with Lenders Protection (and its Affiliates) pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement is significantly valuable to CNA (and its Affiliates) and, as a result, CNA agrees to make its relationship exclusive with Lenders Protection during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending at the conclusion of
the Additional Protection Period (such period is the “Non-Compete Period”). 

(b)    During the Non-Compete Period, CNA agrees (i) not to, directly or
indirectly, provide or promote credit default insurance to any Directly Competitive Business of Lenders Protection (or to any Person that services a Directly Competitive Business of Lenders Protection) and (ii) not to, directly or indirectly,
otherwise Engage in a Directly Competitive Business of Lenders Protection, without the prior written consent of Lenders Protection (collectively, the conduct set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), “Compete with Lenders
Protection”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree that nothing contained in this Section 3.1 shall preclude CNA from Acquiring, after the Effective Date hereof, an Indirectly Competitive Business as long as the
decision to so Acquire was made in good faith and not for the purpose (sole or partial) of evading the restrictions herein. In the event that CNA intends to acquire an Indirectly Competitive Business pursuant to the foregoing sentence, it shall be
required to provide Lenders Protection with not less than [***] advance written notice thereof whereupon Lenders Protection shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement upon notice to CNA; provided
that such notice to terminate is given to CNA by Lenders Protection within said [***] period. CNA represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, it does not own, operate or control (nor is it evaluating the ownership, operation or control),
either directly or indirectly, of an Indirectly Competitive Business. 
 (c)    CNA acknowledges and agrees that the
restrictions imposed upon it under this Section 3.1 (collectively, “CNA’s Non-Competition Commitment”) are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of
Lenders Protection and its Affiliates. The Parties hereto agree that in the event any court of competent jurisdiction determines the Non-Compete Period or the specified geographical area of CNA’s Non-Competition Commitment to be unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, a lesser time period or geographical area which is determined to be reasonable,
non-arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against CNA. The Parties intend that CNA’s Non-Competition Commitment is (and shall be construed as) a
series of separate covenants, one for each state of the United States and one for each other similar region or territory, outside of the United States but within North America generally. CNA agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened
breach of CNA’s Non-Competition Commitment, Lenders Protection will not have an adequate remedy in monetary damages; therefore CNA agrees that, in such event, Lenders Protection shall be entitled to
obtain injunctive relief, without bond, and without the necessity of proof of actual damages, against any such actual or threatened breach in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such right to injunctive relief shall be

in addition to and shall in no way limit Lenders Protection’s right to obtain other remedies available under applicable law. In the event that CNA directly or indirectly breaches CNA’s Non-Competition Commitment, the Non-Compete Period applicable to CNA shall be extended for an additional amount of time equal to the amount of time when such breach occurred
until such breach is remedied (the “Extension Period”); provided, however, in light of other remedies available to Lenders Protection (which are expressly reserved), the Extension Period shall never be longer
than [***]. The obligations under and referred to in this Section 3.1 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 

(d)    For purposes of absolute clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of this Agreement,
“indirect” actions include, without limitation, facilitating any third party to do or accomplish the referenced act. 

(e)    The Parties agree that the terms of Section 3.1 shall not apply if both (i) the Policy does not attach
the following number of Insured Loans during each calendar year: 
  

			
	 CALENDAR YEAR
	  	 INSURED LOANS

	[***]	  	[***]
	[***]	  	[***]
	[***]	  	[***]

 For purposes of absolute clarity, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event the Policy does not attach the
requisite number of Insured Loans shown in the chart above for any calendar year, Section 3.1 will not apply for the remainder of the Term. CNA will provide [***] notice of its intent to compete prior to actually engaging in activities
that Compete with Lenders Protection. 
 Section 3.2    Rights in Connection with New
Products. 
 (a)    During the Non-Compete Period, Lenders Protection
agrees that prior to the time that it begins to commercially offer New Products, it may provide CNA, and may provide Additional Carriers of its selection, with written notice thereof (which such notice shall include generally (i) the
description of the New Product, (ii) the market to be served and (iii) the manner in which Lenders Protection is willing to permit CNA and/or the Additional Carriers to participate therein) (which terms and matters related to the New
Product shall, except as otherwise provided in Article 10, be deemed to be Confidential Information of Lenders Protection for purposes of this Agreement) whereupon Lenders Protection shall negotiate, in good faith, for a period not to exceed
[***], with CNA and the Additional Carriers, if so notified, to determine which of such parties, if any, shall be selected to participate in connection with such New Products and the terms and conditions thereof. If Lenders Protection selects CNA,
which such selection is at the sole and absolute discretion of Lenders Protection, then Lenders Protection shall negotiate reasonably and in good faith with CNA (and any other party selected by Lenders Protection) to enter into an agreement
reflecting such terms and conditions. For purposes of establishing absolute clarity hereto, CNA acknowledges that, except as provided in this Section 3.2, Lenders Protection has not provided CNA any rights of participation in connection
with the commercialization of New Products. Lenders Protection acknowledges that CNA may currently or in the future be developing new product ideas or receiving new product ideas from others, that are similar to a New Product.

Accordingly, nothing in this Agreement will prohibit CNA from developing or having developed for its products, concepts, systems or technologies that are similar to or compete with New Products
provided that CNA does not violate any of its obligations under this Agreement (or any other agreement between the Parties) in connection therewith. 

(b)    CNA may, at its option and in its discretion, provide Lenders Protection with written notice in the event CNA
desires to begin to commercially offer CNA New Products (which such notice would include generally (i) the description of the CNA New Product, (ii) the market to be served and (iii) the manner in which Lenders Protection could
participate therein) (which terms and matters related to the CNA New Product shall, except as otherwise provided in Article 10, be deemed to be Confidential Information of CNA for purposes of this Agreement) whereupon the Parties may
negotiate, in good faith, for a period not to exceed [***], to determine whether Lenders Protection desires to participate in connection with such CNA New Products and the terms and conditions thereof. For purposes of establishing absolute clarity
hereto, Lenders Protection acknowledges that, except as provided herein, CNA shall be under no obligation to allow Lenders Protection to participate in the commercialization of any CNA New Products. CNA acknowledges that Lenders Protection may
currently or in the future be developing new product ideas or receiving new product ideas from others that are similar to a CNA New Product. Accordingly, nothing in this Agreement will prohibit Lenders Protection from developing or having developed
for its products, concepts, systems or technologies that are similar to or compete with the CNA New Products provided that Lenders Protection does not violate any of its obligations under this Agreement (or any other agreement between the Parties)
in connection therewith. 
 Section 3.3    Additional Carrier(s). 

(a)    Right to Utilize Additional Carrier(s). 

(i)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or in any other agreement between the Parties to the contrary
(including Section 3.2 hereof), Lenders Protection shall have the right to utilize one or more Additional Carrier(s) to issue or arrange for Additional Carrier Policies under the Program, in each case, on the terms and subject to the
conditions in this Section 3.3. 
 (ii)    Upon the request (whether verbal, written or electronic) of an
Existing CNA Lender to Lenders Protection to be transitioned to the use of one or more Additional Carrier Policies (a copy of which shall be provided to CNA if such request was provided in writing or by email by such Existing CNA Lender) (a
“Request to Transition”), Lenders Protection may thereafter cause such Existing CNA Lender (a “Transitioned Lender”) to be issued one or more Additional Carrier Policies (instead of CNA Policies) under the Program.
In furtherance of the foregoing, Lenders Protection covenants that, during the Term hereof, it shall not actively solicit, promote, induce or encourage any Existing CNA Lender to request a transition from CNA to an Additional Carrier. In connection
with any Transitioned Lender, Lenders Protection shall provide CNA with a written notice (“Transition Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such transition (as then known and understood by Lenders Protection) and
the effective date of such

transition (“Transition Date”). Any such Transitioned Lender shall, following the Transition Date, be classified as an Existing Additional Carrier Lender. Prior to delivering any
Transition Notice, Lenders Protection will (i) consult in good faith with CNA and allow CNA an opportunity to prevent or avoid delivery of the applicable Transition Notice through explanation, mitigation or cure of the facts, circumstances or
events giving rise thereto, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate consultation between (x) a senior management member of CNA, (y) a senior manager of the applicable Existing CNA Lender identified by Lenders
Protection and (z) a senior manager of Lenders Protection, with the goal of such consultation being to prevent or avoid delivery of the applicable Transition Notice through explanation, mitigation or cure of the facts, circumstances or events
giving rise thereto. CNA understands, acknowledges and agrees that the outcome of any such meeting or consultation and the decision to deliver a Transition Notice is to be determined by Lenders Protection in its reasonable business judgment 

(b)    Allocation of Insured Loans by New Allocable Lenders. 

(i)    CNA acknowledges and agrees that each Additional Carrier may (either prior to the date hereof or thereafter)
identify certain New Allocable Lenders interested in and appropriate for participation in the Program and, if (in the good faith and reasonable determination of Lenders Protection) such Additional Carrier is (or was, as the case may be) responsible,
in whole or in material part, for such New Allocable Lender’s participation in the Program (any such New Allocable Lender, an “Existing Additional Carrier Lender”), the Insured Loans issued by such Existing Additional Carrier
Lender will, first, at the option of the Existing Additional Carrier Lender, be issued an Additional Carrier Policy solely by such Additional Carrier. If CNA identifies any New Allocable Lenders interested in and appropriate for participation in the
Program and, if (in the good faith and reasonable determination of Lenders Protection) CNA is responsible, in whole or in material part, for such New Allocable Lender’s participation in the Program, such New Allocable Lender will be deemed an
Existing CNA Lender, and the Insured Loans issued by such Existing CNA Lender will, first, at the option of such Existing CNA Lender, be issued a Policy solely by CNA, subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 3.3(a)(ii) hereof. In
all determinations by Lenders Protection as to whether a New Allocable Lender should be deemed to be an Existing Additional Carrier Lender or an Existing CNA Lender, Lenders Protection agrees that such determinations will be made in a good faith and
in a reasonable manner (following consultation with CNA wherever appropriate) and confirmed by a written notice from Lenders Protection to CNA setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. 

(ii)    Lenders Protection shall attempt, in good faith and by use of commercially reasonable efforts, to
(A) allocate, to the extent reasonably practicable, applications for Insured Loans to be issued by each New Allocable Lender (other than any New Allocable Lender that shall be deemed an Existing Additional Carrier Lender or an Existing CNA
Lender, as the case may be) to comply with the Target Allocation and (B) maintain, to the extent reasonably practicable, the Target Allocation. In furtherance of the foregoing, Lenders Protection shall allocate applications for Insured Loans
issued by each New Allocable Lender (other than any New Allocable Lender that shall be deemed an Existing Additional Carrier Lender or an Existing CNA Lender, as the case may be) on an alternating basis relative to time of application and relative
to

the Target Allocation or in accordance with another methodology determined by Lenders Protection that is reasonably designed to provide for Insured Loans from such New Allocable Lenders that
would be covered under a Policy issued by CNA to be substantially similar, in the aggregate, in principal amount and other quantitative and qualitative loan, credit and borrower criteria to Insured Loans from such New Allocable Lenders that would be
covered under one or more Additional Carrier Policies issued by Additional Carrier(s), in both cases so as to give effect to the Target Allocation. For purposes of providing absolute clarity hereto, the Parties agree and acknowledge that Lenders
Protection shall not have any liability in the event that CNA does not actually receive the Target Allocation of applications for Insured Loans (it being agreed and understood that liability shall only occur if Lenders Protection does not use
commercially reasonable efforts to achieve (and maintain), to the extent reasonably practicable, the Target Allocation in accordance with this Section 3.3(b)(ii)). 

(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.3(b)(ii), if CNA fails or refuses to issue
Policies, or cancels an existing Policy, to any New Allocable Lender, then Lenders Protection may allocate applications for Insured Loans from the applicable New Allocable Lender to an Additional Carrier. Additionally, in the event an Additional
Carrier fails or refuses to issue Policies, or cancels an existing Policy, to any New Allocable Lender, then Lenders Protection may allocate applications for Insured Loans from the applicable New Allocable Lender to CNA. 

(c)    Information and Consultation Regarding Allocation of New Allocable Lenders. Within [***] following each
Measurement Date, Lenders Protection will provide CNA with a written report (“New Allocable Lender Allocation Report”) setting forth in reasonable detail a summary of the following information for each of the [***] immediately
preceding the applicable Measurement Date (“Review Period”): (i) each Existing CNA Lender and the number of applications for Insured Loans allocated to CNA and the number of Insured Loans covered under a Policy issued or arranged by
CNA for such Existing CNA Lender during each calendar year during the Review Period; (ii) each Existing Additional Carrier Lender (name and other confidential information redacted) and the number of applications for Insured Loans allocated to
such Additional Carrier and the number of Insured Loans covered under an Additional Carrier Policy issued or arranged by an Additional Carrier for such Existing Additional Carrier Lender during each calendar year during the Review Period;
(iii) the number of applications for Insured Loans allocated to CNA and the number of Insured Loans covered under a Policy issued or arranged by CNA for New Allocable Lenders during each calendar year during the Review Period; and (iv) the
number of applications for Insured Loans allocated to Additional Carriers and the number of Insured Loans covered under an Additional Carrier Policy issued or arranged by an Additional Carrier for New Allocable Lenders during each calendar year
during the Review Period (name and other confidential information redacted). In addition and at CNA’s sole cost and expense, Lenders Protection shall from time to time consult in good faith with CNA, make available to CNA (during normal
business hours and upon reasonable prior notice) any Program Files, and permit CNA to exercise audit rights in accordance with Section 6.2, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by CNA in connection with CNA’s review of the
New Allocable Lender Allocation Report and the performance by Lenders Protection under this Section 3.3; provided, however, Lenders Protection shall not have any obligation to provide CNA with access to any
confidential information of any third party or Lenders Protection.

 Section 3.4    No Additional
Commitments. CNA acknowledges and agrees that Lenders Protection would not have entered into this Agreement with CNA (nor requested that CNA provide Policies under the Program after the Effective Date) but for CNA’s assurances herein
provided. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, except as provided in this Article 3, no other commitments of exclusivity are intended, expressed or implied. 

ARTICLE 4 
 ISSUANCE
OF POLICIES; PROFIT SHARE 
 Section 4.1    Carrier Rating: Issuances of Policies. At all
times during the Term hereof, CNA (or a designee) shall, as a material performance obligation hereunder, cause the issuance of Policies, from a carrier with an “A” or better A. M. Best rating, to all financial institutions who have:
(a) entered into a Program Agreement, (b) otherwise completed any necessary documentation reasonably required by CNA and (c) have met all CNA Underwriting Guidelines. 

Section 4.2    Profit Sharing. The Parties hereby acknowledge the Profit Share Agreement
executed contemporaneously herewith, a copy of which is attached as Schedule B hereto. 

Section 4.3    No Guarantee of Volume. Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that
the terms and provisions hereof (including those set forth on Schedule B), have been negotiated at arm’s length and that neither Lenders Protection nor any of its representatives, Affiliates or agents has made any predictions, assurances
or guarantees with respect to the number of Policies to be issued under the Program during the Term, if any. 
 Section
4.4    SLB Agreement. CNA agrees to maintain, during the Term hereof, that separate agreement with the Surplus Lines Broker attached as Schedule C hereto (the “SLB Agreement”) on the terms and
conditions therein reflected. Should CNA terminate the SLB Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof it (a) will provide at least [***] written notice to Lenders Protection in the event that the termination is for convenience and (b) may

 Section 5.5    Underwriting Guidelines. With respect to any
Policy, Lenders Protection and CNA shall comply with and be bound by (a) the Underwriting Guidelines as may be amended from time to time, and (b) all Applicable Laws. CNA agrees that it will not request an amendment, modification, change,
supplement or alternative interpretation of the Underwriting Guidelines unless there is a bona fide industry or marketplace reason to do so. CNA acknowledges that the commitment made in the foregoing sentence was material to
Lenders Protection’s decision to enter into this Agreement and that Lenders Protection would not have entered into this Agreement but for such commitment. CNA agrees to provide Lenders Protection with written notice of any proposed amendment,
modification, change, supplement or alternative interpretation of the Underwriting Guidelines (whether material or immaterial) together with advice as to the industry or marketplace reason therefor. If Lenders Protection provides CNA with notice in

commitments of Lenders Protection under Section 3.4(b)(ii) or (b) terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice thereto to CNA. If there are changes in any Applicable Law or
if any Governmental Authority issues an opinion that renders the services or certain aspects of the services of Lenders Protection provided hereunder illegal or otherwise prohibited, then Lenders Protection shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to promptly develop and propose changes in the services and take other actions reasonably required so that the services continue to satisfy all Applicable Laws. In the event that Lenders Protection, in its sole discretion, determines that such
proposed changes in the services are insufficient to comply with Applicable Laws, Lenders Protection shall have the right to either: (a) require CNA to perform such services (or additional services) but only to the extent that such services (or
additional services) would not impose a material cost or obligation on CNA as a result thereof, (b) retain the services of another provider to perform such services or (c) terminate the Agreement in accordance with
Section 2.2(i). 
 Section 5.6    Affiliates as
Subcontractors. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, CNA hereby expressly confirms that Affiliates of Lenders Protection may function as Subcontractors of Lenders Protection hereunder without the prior written consent
or acknowledgment of CNA. Lender’s Protection understands and agrees that at all time it shall retain all liability for its obligations that are performed by any Affiliate and Subcontractor. 

Section 5.7    Reporting and Payment to CNA. Lenders Protection shall
ensure that each loan made through the Software Platform and requested by Lenders Protection to be made part of the Program with CNA is reported to CNA in accordance with the agreement between the Parties and is otherwise scheduled to the
appropriate Policy, in accordance with CNA’s requirements and direction. CNA will be paid, when due, all premiums calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in respect of each such loan covered by a Policy, it being understood
that the premiums for such Policies are paid by the Surplus Lines Broker and the failure of such Surplus Lines Broker to remit (promptly or otherwise) payment to CNA will not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lenders Protection will not actively interfere with timely payments by the Surplus Lines Broker and covenants to provide reasonable assistance to CNA to obtain payment by the Surplus Lines Broker. 

Section 5.8    FCRA Compliance. Lenders Protection shall be solely responsible for providing CNA
with information on loans that were refused coverage under the Policies due to information in the borrower’s credit file. CNA may designate a vendor, subject to approval by Lenders Protection, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
(an “Approved Vendor”). The Approved Vendor shall be bound by confidentiality obligations and CNA may deliver such denial information to such Approved Vendor for delivery as required by applicable Law. CNA understands, acknowledges
and agrees that CNA will be responsible for any improper use or distribution of such information by the Approved Vendor. Such denial information shall be provided to CNA within at least [***] after such application is declined. This data will
include the information requested by CNA in order to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) regulations concerning adverse action notices and any other information reasonably required by CNA.

Indemnified Party take any action in respect of or relating to the Policies or the Software Platform, the Indemnified Party must notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Third Party
Indemnification Request as soon as practicable but no later than [***] after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Indemnification Request. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party will deliver to the Indemnifying Party, as
soon as practicable after receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Indemnification Request. The failure to notify the Indemnifying Party will not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such
notice. The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of a Third Party Indemnification Request made against an Indemnified Party and, if it so chooses, to assume the control of the defense thereof with counsel of its
choosing. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the control of the defense of a Third Party Indemnification Request, the Indemnified Party will (a) cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in connection with such defense, (b) not
admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge any Third Party Indemnification Request without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent and (c) agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third
Party Indemnification Request which the Indemnifying Party may recommend and which by its terms (i) includes a release of all covered claims in connection with such Third Party Indemnification Request, (ii) contains no admission of
liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party, and (iii) imposes no obligation or liability on the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party will assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Indemnification
Request as provided above, the Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in (but not control) such defense with its own counsel at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not so assume the control of the defense of any Third Party
Indemnification Request, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such Third Party Indemnification Request with its own counsel at its own expense.

 Section 9.6    Injunctive Relief. CNA

Section 9.6 by the other, Party, provided that such remedy would not exclude other remedies otherwise available to CNA or Lenders Protection. The obligations under this Article 9 shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 10 

CONFIDENTIALITY 

Section 10.1    By virtue of the relationship between the Parties, each Party may have access to trade
secrets and information that is confidential and/or proprietary to the other Party (collectively “Confidential Information”). The Party which discloses to the other Party Confidential Information shall be referred to herein as the
“Disclosing Party” and the Party to which the Disclosing Party discloses Confidential Information shall be referred to herein as the “Receiving Party.” Confidential Information shall include but is not limited to
information regarding each other’s operations, data processing and procedures, billing and collection procedures, Policy holder information, formulas, methods, know-how, processes, data, designs, new
products, developmental work, marketing requirements, marketing plans, the terms and pricing under this Agreement, and all information identified by the Disclosing Party at the time of disclosure as confidential or proprietary or which the Receiving

writing by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return or destroy (as directed by the Receiving Party) all Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party hereunder and shall, if requested, certify to such return or

 Section 10.2    If disclosure of any Confidential
Information is compelled by court order, subpoena or other legal process, the Receiving Party shall, to the extent reasonably possible, give the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice to enable the Disclosing Party to consent to such order or seek
a protective order or other appropriate remedy. The Parties agree that any breach of obligations under this Section 10 will be a material breach of this Agreement and result in irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party, for which damages
would be an inadequate remedy. In addition to the rights and remedies otherwise available at law, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek equitable relief; including injunction without the necessity of posting a bond, in the event of such
breach and to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees. The Receiving Party agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section 10 by any employee or agent acting within its reasonable control, including the payment of
