the following:

Enter into, engage in, encourage or otherwise participate in any transaction designed to circumvent any of the restrictions set

Nothing
in this Agreement shall prevent PIH from engaging in private discussions with the Board, management or stockholders of FedNat
regarding the FedNat business.


 


3.
Exception. At all times during the Term, PIH shall be permitted (and the provisions of Section 2 shall not
apply) to provide information or assistance to any Person in response to a request by a governmental agency with jurisdiction
or authority over the Stockholder, a validly issued subpoena or otherwise as required by law; provided, that in each such
instance, to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, PIH shall provide as much advance notice to FedNat of such response
as reasonably possible and provide reasonable assistance to FedNat to obtain any protective order sought by FedNat with respect
to such response. PIH shall be permitted to file a Statement on Schedule 13G with the SEC disclosing its investment in FedNat
Common Stock, describing and filing a copy of this Agreement, if required by applicable law, and otherwise complying with the
requirements of such Statement and the rules and regulations of the SEC relating to such Statement.


 


4.
Other Acknowledgements.


 


(a)
PIH understands and agrees that, if it votes its Voting Securities in violation of Section 2 or of this Agreement, then
PIH hereby unconditionally and irrevocably instructs FedNat not to record the amount of Voting Securities so voted; and (ii) if
all of PIH’s Voting Securities are not voted in favor of any Board Recommended Matter (whether by virtue of a negative vote
or abstention), then the number of shares not voted in favor of the Board Recommended Matter shall be automatically voted, and
deemed for all purposes to have been voted by PIH in favor of such Board Recommended Matter.


 


(b)
If and to the extent that it is determined that Section 4(a) hereof is unenforceable, then PIH covenants and agrees that
PIH will cause all of its Voting Securities to be voted at any meeting of FedNat’s stockholders or at any adjournments or
postponements thereof: (i) in favor of each Board Recommended Matter; and (ii) against any stockholder nominations for director.


 


(c)
In the event that the Voting Securities are sold or otherwise transferred in a privately negotiated transaction, the purchaser
or transferee shall take the Voting Securities subject to all of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement. PIH agrees to provide
FedNat with five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of any such transaction.

5.
Equitable Remedies; Remedies for Certain Breaches.


 


(a)
The Parties acknowledge and agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened breach of the
provisions of Sections 2 or 4 of this Agreement, and that the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific
performance and injunctive (preliminary or permanent) or other equitable relief as remedies for any breach of any such section.
Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law
or in equity. Each Party waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy.


 


(b)
The rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued and exercised
singularly, successively or concurrently at the sole discretion of the exercising Party and may be exercised as often as such
Party shall deem necessary or desirable, and the non-exercise by a Party of any such rights and remedies in any particular instance
shall not in any way constitute a waiver or release thereof in that or any subsequent instance.


 


6.
Additional Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. PIH hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to and in
favor of FedNat that:


 


(a)
PIH has all requisite capacity, power and authority to enter into and perform PIH’s obligations under this Agreement. No
filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Person is necessary on the part of PIH for the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement by PIH or the consummation by PIH of the transactions and agreements contemplated hereby.


 


(b)
This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by PIH and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by PIH
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of
PIH.


 


(c)
Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by FedNat, this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding
agreement of PIH, enforceable against PIH in accordance with its terms.


 


(d)
Except as contemplated by this Agreement, PIH has not been a party to any grant of proxy or power of attorney, deposited any of
its Voting Securities into a voting trust or similar arrangement, entered into any Contract with any Person (including, without
limitation, any voting agreement or similar arrangement), or otherwise, granted, delegated or otherwise assigned any of its voting
power as a holder of Voting Securities, whether directly or indirectly, in any manner that is inconsistent with PIH’s obligations
under this Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by PIH nor the consummation by PIH of the transactions
and agreements contemplated hereby or compliance by PIH with any of the provisions hereof shall: (i) conflict with or violate
any provision of the organizational documents of PIH; (ii) result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default (or an
event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any Lien on any property or asset of PIH pursuant to
any Contract to which PIH is a party or by which PIH or any property or asset of PIH is bound or affected; or (iii) violate any
law or judgment, order, injunction, ruling or decree of any Governmental Entity applicable to PIH or any of PIH’s properties
or assets.

(e)
Except for restrictions in favor of FedNat pursuant to this Agreement and in any other agreement entered into by PIH in connection
with the Transactions, and except for such transfer restrictions of general applicability as may be provided under the Securities
Act and the “blue sky” laws of the various States of the United States, PIH is the sole record and beneficial owner
of all of PIH’s Voting Securities, in each case free and clear of Liens, and has the full and exclusive power to vote or
direct the vote with respect to the Voting Securities. As used in this Agreement, the terms “beneficial owner,”
“beneficially own” and “beneficial ownership” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3
promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act; provided, that, for purposes of determining whether a Person is a beneficial
owner of any Voting Securities, a Person shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner of any Voting Securities which may be acquired
by such Person pursuant to any Contract or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise
(irrespective of whether the right to acquire such Voting Securities is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time,
including the passage of time in excess of sixty (60) days, the satisfaction of any conditions, the occurrence of any event or
any combination of the foregoing).


 


(f)
There is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of PIH, threatened, against or affecting such Party before or by any Governmental
Entity, except, as is not, and would not reasonably be, expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to impair the ability
of PIH to perform PIH’s obligations hereunder in any respect.


 


(g)
PIH understands and acknowledges that FedNat is entering into the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon PIH’s execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements of PIH contained herein.


 


(h)
PIH shall not take any action that would make any representation or warranty of PIH contained herein untrue or incorrect in any
material respect, or that would prohibit PIH from performing all of PIH’s covenants and obligations contained herein.


 


7.
No Reliance. Except as expressly set forth in any representation, warranty, or covenant made by a Party in this
Agreement, each Party expressly disclaims and shall not be deemed to have made any representation, warranty or covenant, express
or implied, to the other Party, in connection with or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


8.
Term. This Agreement shall terminate and shall be of no further force or effect as of the date that is the fifth
(5th) anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto
from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Term.

The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this
Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “or”

shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.
No Party to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf”
format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment or consent hereto or thereto or the fact that any signature
or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf”
