Seller’s auditors shall conclusively determine and report to Seller and Buyer on such remaining disputed items and such determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on Buyer and Seller. Both Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with and
timely respond to any requests for information from the other party and Seller’s current auditors in connection with any dispute pursuant to this Section 2.5 and shall be ultimately reflected in the Audited Closing Balance Sheet.

of national reputation in the United States mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer (the “Independent Actuarial Firm”) to determine the Aggregate Loss Estimations (as defined below) and whether the 2011 Reserves Pay Out was solely

accordance with the Seller Reserves Methodology, and an analysis of whether the 2011 Reserves Pay Out was solely comprised of claims settled and paid in accordance with Section 2.6(e) below. The Independent Actuarial Firm shall, within ninety
(90) calendar days after such submission, determine and deliver a report (the “Actuarial Report”) to Seller and Buyer setting forth the results of its analysis, which report shall include (i) a statement setting forth (A) a
dollar amount (the “Low End Estimation”) which the Independent Actuarial Firm believes to be the lowest point of a reasonable range of best estimates of potential aggregate losses of the Acquired Companies in respect of loss events
occurring on or prior to December 31, 2010 and (B) a dollar amount (the “High End Estimation” and, together with the Low End Estimation, the “Aggregate Loss Estimations”) which the Independent Actuarial Firm believes to
be the highest point of a reasonable range of best estimates of potential aggregate losses of the Acquired Companies in respect of loss events occurring on or prior to December 31, 2010, in each case determined as of December 31, 2011,
(ii) an analysis of whether the 2011 Reserves Pay Out was solely comprised of claims settled and paid in accordance with Section 2.6(e) below and (iii) if the Independent Actuarial Firm determines that the 2011 Reserves Pay Out was
not solely comprised of claims settled and paid in accordance with Section 2.6(e) below, any changes to the amount of the 2011 Reserves Pay Out if such claims were settled and paid in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.6(e) (as
the 2011 Reserves Pay Out Amount is so adjusted, the “Adjusted 2011 Reserves Pay Out”). The average of the Low End Estimation and the High End Estimation is hereinafter referred to as the “Midpoint.” Buyer and Seller agree that
the scope of the retention of such Independent Actuarial Firm shall be limited to the determination of the Aggregate Loss Estimations and an analysis as to whether the claims settled and paid with the 2011 Reserves Pay Out were settled and paid in
accordance with the requirements of Section 2.6(e) below. All fees and expenses of the Independent Actuarial Firm shall be paid equally by Buyer and Seller. Both Buyer and Seller shall cooperate with, and timely respond to, any requests for
information from the Independent Actuarial Firm in connection with the preparation of the Actuarial Report pursuant to this Section 2.6(c). The determination of the Aggregate Loss Estimations and the Adjusted 2011 Reserves Pay Out by the
Independent Actuarial Firm shall be conclusive and binding on Buyer and Seller. 
 (d) The “Adjusted 2010
Reserves Amount” shall equal the 2010 Reserves Amount minus the Adjusted 2011 Reserves Pay Out. If the Adjusted 2010 Reserves Amount is equal to the Midpoint, no payment shall be due by either Buyer or Seller in respect of the net reserves of
the Acquired Companies. If the Adjusted 2010 Reserves Amount is greater than the Midpoint, then Buyer shall promptly, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days following receipt by the parties of the Actuarial Report pursuant to
Section 2.6(c) above, pay to Seller an amount in cash in Dollars equal to the difference between the Midpoint and the Adjusted 2010 Reserves Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts as Seller may specify
in writing to Buyer prior to the date of payment; provided, however, in no event will an amount greater than $10,000,000 be payable by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.6. If the Adjusted 2010 Reserves Amount is less than the


  
 20 









 
Midpoint, then Seller shall promptly, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days following receipt by the parties of the Actuarial Report pursuant to Section 2.6(c) above, pay to
Buyer an amount in cash in Dollars equal to the difference between the Adjusted 2010 Reserves Amount and the Midpoint by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts as Buyer may specify in writing to Seller prior to the
date of payment; provided, however, in no event will an amount greater than $10,000,000 be payable by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.6. 
 (e) During the period from the Closing up to and including December 31, 2011 (the “Restricted Period”), Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to operate, with respect to their respective
establishing and adjusting of reserves in accordance with the Seller Reserves Methodology and settlement and payment of claims, consistent with past practice of the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing and with prudent and customary prevailing
industry standards. Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to not change in any material respect any accounting method, practice or policy used by them unless required by a concurrent change in GAAP or Applicable SAP. During the Restricted Period,
except as otherwise prohibited by Law or Contract or as would potentially result in the loss of the attorney-client privilege or trade secrets, upon reasonable advance notice, Buyer shall afford Seller and its Affiliates and their representatives
(including claims adjusters) reasonable access, during regular business hours, to employees of the Acquired Companies and to the books and records of the Acquired Companies, in respect to the practices employed with respect to the establishing and
adjusting of reserves and the settlement and payment of claims; provided, however that Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek a waiver of any provision of any Contract limiting access to any or all such information. 

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the purpose of the adjustment in this Section 2.6 is to provide for (i) Buyer to
be reimbursed for adverse reserve development of the Acquired Companies from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011 and (ii) Seller to be compensated for any positive reserve development of the Acquired Companies from
December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011 in each case with respect to loss events occurring on or prior to December 31, 2010 and, in each case, subject to a cap of $10,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, the reserve calculations in
this Section 2.6 shall be applied after the commutation of the Commuted Reinsurance Agreements pursuant to Section 5.18 and/or any commutation as of December 31, 2010 of any other Reinsurance Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2(e).

 SECTION 5.20. Insurance Coverages. Seller shall cause all Insurance Policies to be terminated, as to the Acquired Companies, as of the Closing Date, without cost to the Acquired Companies and
without any continuing obligation on the part of the Acquired Companies to pay premiums or other amounts under such policies; provided that Seller shall be permitted to keep in force and effect, and receive and retain the exclusive benefit of, any
insurance policies and recoveries thereunder providing coverage to or for the benefit of the Acquired Companies for pre-Closing periods and losses arising from any occurrences, acts, errors or omissions actually or allegedly taking place prior to
the Closing. 
 SECTION 5.21. Interim Financial Statements. Seller shall, as soon as available but no later than

Companies in existence on the Closing Date and make the same available for inspection and copying by Seller (at Seller’s expense) during normal business hours of the Acquired Companies, as applicable, upon reasonable request and upon reasonable
notice. No such Books and Records shall be destroyed after the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date by Buyer or any of its Affiliates, without first advising Seller in writing and giving Seller a reasonable opportunity to obtain
possession thereof. 
 SECTION 5.23. No Control of Seller’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give
Buyer, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct Seller’s or any of the Acquired Companies’ operations prior to the Closing. 
 SECTION 5.24. Tax Matters. 
 (a) Unless required by
applicable Law, with respect to any Pre-2011 Tax Period, Buyer shall not make or change any Tax elections or file (or cause or permit any Acquired Company to file) any amended Tax Return without Seller’s written consent, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. With respect to any Pre-2011 Tax Period, at the reasonable request of Seller, Buyer shall, or shall cause any Acquired Company to, promptly initiate a claim for refund or amend any Tax Return, provided that such
claim or amendment does not have an adverse effect on Buyer or any of the Acquired Companies and provided further that Seller pay all costs and expenses related to such claim or amendment. 

(b) No Acquired Company will, and Buyer will not permit any Acquired Company to minimize any Pre-2011 Tax Refund by making
any election to carry forward a net operating loss (regardless of whether Buyer or such Acquired Company otherwise is legally permitted to take such action). Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to any Pre-2011 Tax Refund received by Buyer or
the Acquired Companies (less reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining such Tax Refund) after the Closing Date within fifteen (15) days of such receipt. A Pre-2011 Tax Refund shall be “received” for purposes of this Agreement
(i) on the day of receipt of any actual refund of Taxes and (ii) on the day of filing of any Tax Return that applies what would have been a Pre-2011 Tax Refund to the payment of Taxes for a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning
after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Pre-2011 Tax Refunds” shall not include (i) any refund of Taxes that relates to a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after December 31, 2010, (ii) any Tax
refund resulting from a carry back of any operating losses, net operating losses, capital losses, Tax credits or similar items arising in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after December 31, 2010, or (iii) any Tax refund
reflected in the calculation of Book Value. Buyer shall have no 

  
 54 









 
right to carry back of any operating losses, net operating losses, capital losses, Tax credits or similar items arising in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after December 31,
2010 to a consolidated income tax return of Seller for any year ending on or prior to December 31, 2010 and if Buyer fails to elect to carry such tax attributes forward, Seller shall be free to file an amended return and retain any refund or
may, in its sole discretion, choose to not file an amended return. Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to any Tax refund received by Seller (or any of its affiliates) with respect to an Acquired Company to the extent that it is attributable to
the Stub Period (a “Stub Period Refund”) within fifteen (15) days of such receipt. A Stub Period Refund shall be “received” for purposes of this Agreement (i) on the day of receipt of any actual refund of Taxes and
(ii) on the day of filing of any Tax Return that applies what would have been a Stub Period Refund to the payment of Taxes for a taxable period (or portion thereof) other than the Stub Period. To the extent any Tax refund from one jurisdiction
is treated as income to another jurisdiction, any Tax owed to such other jurisdiction on account of such refund shall reduce the amount paid by Buyer or Seller, as applicable, under this Section 5.24(b). 

SECTION 5.25. Cancellation of Authority. On or prior to Closing, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
each of Newstead and Inverness to make all filings required with its respective Domiciliary Insurance Departments to terminate its certificate of authority and withdraw from such domiciliary state and to seek approval from each such Domiciliary
Insurance Department of the termination of such certificates of authority and of Newstead’s and Inverness’ withdrawal from such state.

wage rate at least equal to the salary or hourly wage rate provided to such Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, coupled with an offer of employee benefits equal to the benefits provided by Buyer to its similarly situated employees. The
offers of employment will be subject to Buyer’s standard hiring procedures, including completion of any employment application materials and successful completion of a background check and the employment offers of Buyer will be withdrawn with
respect to any individuals who fail to complete any such procedures or fail the background check. Employees who accept Buyer’s offer of employment, and commence employment with Buyer on or following the Closing are referred to as the
“Transferred Employees.” 

  
 55 









  
 (b)
During the period of time between the signing of this Agreement and January 31, 2011, none of Seller or its Affiliates shall (i) terminate any Current Employee (other than for cause), or (ii) intentionally interfere with Buyer’s
hiring of any Current Employee or otherwise intentionally discourage any Current Employee from accepting Buyer’s offer of employment hereunder, without the express written consent of Buyer; provided that the foregoing shall in no way prohibit
Seller or its Affiliates from terminating any of their respective employees (including any Current Employee, so long as such termination is for cause) or from taking such other remedial actions as are deemed reasonably necessary by Seller or its
Affiliates, in each case in their sole discretion. 
 (c) During the period of time between January 31, 2011
until Closing, none of Seller or its Affiliates shall (i) terminate any Listed Employee (other than for cause), or (ii) intentionally interfere with Buyer’s hiring of any Listed Employee or otherwise intentionally discourage any
Listed Employee from accepting Buyer’s offer of employment hereunder, without the express written consent of Buyer; provided that the foregoing shall in no way prohibit Seller or its Affiliates from terminating any of their respective employees
(including any Listed Employee, so long as such termination is for cause) or from taking such other remedial actions as are deemed reasonably necessary by Seller or its Affiliates, in each case in their sole discretion. 

(d) Buyer agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall and shall cause each of its Affiliates to grant all
the Transferred Employees credit for any service with such Acquired Company or any Affiliate of an Acquired Company prior to the Closing Date earned or otherwise recognized by an Acquired Company or any Affiliate of an Acquired Company prior to the
Closing Date for purposes of vacation accrual and severance benefit determinations under any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, or arrangement that may be established or maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates on or after the Closing
Date (collectively, the “Buyer Plans”), except as would result in duplication of benefits. 
 SECTION 6.2. Benefit
Plan Liability. 
 (a) Except with respect to the Benefit Plans disclosed on Section 6.2(a) of the
Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Retained Benefit Plans”), the Transferred Employees shall cease to be covered by the Benefit Plans effective as of the Closing, and Buyer shall not assume the continued operation of any Benefit Plans
including but not limited to any qualified or non-qualified employee benefit plan or program of Seller as part of this transaction, and all such plans (other than the Retained Benefit Plans) and related Liabilities shall be retained by Seller.
Effective as of the Closing, Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies), as applicable, shall cease to be parties to, and shall be relieved of any continuing obligations under, any Retained Benefit Plans, and Buyer or its
Affiliates assume such continuing obligations thereunder and continued operation thereof in accordance with their terms. 
 (b) Seller shall retain responsibility for and continue to pay all medical, life insurance, disability, and other welfare plan expenses and benefits for each Transferred Employee with respect to claims
incurred by such Transferred Employee or his covered dependents prior to the Closing Date (assuming that all procedural requirements are satisfied 

  
 56 









 
and claims applications properly and timely completed and submitted). Expenses and benefits with respect to claims incurred by Transferred Employees or their covered dependents on or after the
Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Buyer (assuming that all procedural requirements are satisfied and claims applications properly and timely completed and submitted). For purposes of this paragraph, a claim is deemed incurred by a
Transferred Employee (i) in the case of medical or dental benefits, when the services that are the subject of the claim are performed; (ii) in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs; (iii) in the case of long-term
disability benefits, when the disability begins; (iv) in the case of workers compensation benefits, when the event giving rise to the benefits occurs; and (v) otherwise, at the time the services that are subject of the claim are performed.

 SECTION 6.3. Continuation of Coverage. Buyer agrees that Buyer shall be solely responsible for satisfying the
continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code for all Transferred Employees who are “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9. 

SECTION 6.4. Qualified Plans. Buyer shall permit Transferred Employees to make contributions of “eligible rollover
distributions” (as such term is defined under Section 402 of the Code) to any Buyer defined contribution plans (excluding any promissory notes evidencing all outstanding loans) on the same basis that Buyer permits other new employees to
make contributions of eligible rollover distributions. The contributions of eligible rollover distributions by Transferred Employees to Buyer’s defined contribution plans must be initiated by the Transferred Employee and will not be automatic.

 SECTION 6.5. Employee Liabilities. 

(a) Seller agrees that Seller shall retain and be solely liable for all Losses and/or liabilities associated with any
workers’ compensation or disability claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, against the Acquired Companies concerning an illness or injury occurring or accruing prior to the Closing Date. 

(b) Seller agrees that Seller shall retain and be solely liable for all Losses and/or liabilities associated with any
employment practice, wage and hour or benefit related claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, against the Acquired Companies concerning employment practice, wage and hour or benefit claim occurring or
accruing prior to the Closing Date. 
 (c) Buyer agrees that following the Closing Date it shall not take any
action that would trigger liability for Seller or its Affiliates under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 (the “WARN Act”) or any similar state or local Law. Buyer will assume and retain all liability for any
failure of Buyer to comply with any of the requirements of the WARN Act or similar state or local Law, including applicable notice requirements related to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (each as defined under the WARN Act),
with respect to any Transferred Employee. Seller will retain all liability for any failure of Seller or its Affiliates to comply with any of the requirements of the WARN Act or similar state or local law, including applicable notice requirements
related to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (each as defined under the WARN Act), with respect to any Employee who is not or does not become an Transferred Employee. 

  
 57 









  
 SECTION 6.6.
Cooperation. Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with Buyer with respect to: (i) making the Current Employees available to complete Buyer’s hiring process described in Section 6.1(a) prior to
the Closing Date; (ii) providing Buyer with all necessary information, including employment, benefits and payroll-related data, in a format and frequency determined by Buyer, regarding all Transferred Employees in order to effect a smooth
transition to Buyer’s employment, benefits, payroll and other systems and processes; and (iii) communications to Transferred Employees with respect to any transition-related matters, including but not limited to Buyer’s hiring process
and employee benefits; such reasonable cooperation to continue for up to twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. 

SECTION 6.7. Limitations; No Third-Party Beneficiary Rights. 

(a) Nothing contained in this Article VI, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Transferred Employee any
right to continued employment for any period or continued receipt of any specific employee benefit, or shall constitute an amendment to or any other modification of any Benefit Plan. 

(b) This Article VI shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and
nothing in this Article VI, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Article VI. 

SECTION 6.8. Severance Obligation. 
 (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) shall have paid to the applicable Employees, or shall have entered into agreements with the applicable
Employees committing to pay, the following amounts: 
 (i) amounts arising out of the transactional and other arrangements
described on Section 6.8(a)(i) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the “Included Transaction Compensation”); and 

(ii) amounts arising out of the transactional and other arrangements described on Section 6.8(a)(ii) of the Seller Disclosure
Schedule (the “Excluded Transaction Compensation”). 
 (b) No later than ten (10) days prior to
the Closing Date) Seller shall provide Buyer with a statement setting forth the actual amount of the Included Transaction Compensation that Seller and its Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) have then paid or committed to pay, together
with any supporting documentation reasonably requested by Buyer. 
 (c) On the Closing Date, if Seller and its
Affiliates (other than the Acquired Companies) have then paid or committed to pay Included Transaction Compensation (i) in 

  
 58 









 
excess of $10,000,000, Buyer shall pay to Seller at the Closing an amount equal to such excess or (ii) less than $10,000,000, Seller shall pay to Buyer at Closing an amount equal to such
deficiency (which amount may be set-off by Buyer against the Purchase Price). 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to the tax benefit, if any, derived from the payment of Included Transaction Compensation and Excluded Transaction Compensation, to the extent actually paid by Seller (in accordance with this
Section 6.8) without any reimbursement from any of the Acquired Companies, Buyer and/or any of their Affiliates, except for any tax benefits arising from tax attributes that are taken into account in the determination of Book Value, (the
“Seller Tax Benefits”). Any amounts payable by Buyer with respect to the Stub Period under Section 9.2(c) shall be determined without taking into account any Seller Tax Benefits. Buyer shall pay over to Seller an amount equal to the
Seller Tax Benefits actually received in the year 2011 after receipt of such Seller Tax Benefits. In computing the amount of any such Seller Tax benefit, Buyer, the Acquired Companies and their Affiliates shall be deemed to recognize all other items
of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the Seller Tax Benefits. For purposes of this Section 6.8(d), “received in the year 2011” means a reduction in the amount of Buyer and the Acquired
Companies’ Tax liability for 2011 or an increase in the amount of a Tax refund attributable to 2011. For purposes of this Section 6.8(d), “receipt of” means (i) in the case of a Tax payment (including estimated tax
payments), when such payment is first due and (ii) in the case of a Tax refund, when Buyer or the Acquired Companies is first entitled to such refund. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision in Section 6.8, Seller, Buyer and each of the Acquired Companies, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable
pursuant to Section 6.8 such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any Tax Law. If Buyer, Seller or any of the Acquired Companies, as the case may be, so withhold
amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which Buyer, Seller or any of the Acquired Companies, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

relieve Buyer of any liability it may have to such Seller Indemnitee except to the extent such failure materially prejudices Buyer. In the event of any third party Indemnification Claim (whether arising before or after the Closing Date):
(i) the applicable Seller Indemnitee shall deliver to Buyer promptly following the Seller Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) relating to any such third party Indemnification Claim;

the defense of such Indemnification Claim with separate counsel, if it desires, at its own expense; (iii) the Seller Indemnitees and Buyer will cooperate in the defense of any such matter; (iv) (A) if Buyer does not assume control
over the matter, the Seller Indemnitees shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or settlement without the prior written consent of Buyer and (B) if assumes control over the matter, Buyer shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or
settlement without the prior written consent of Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) provided that Seller may withhold its consent in its sole discretion if the judgment or settlement includes the imposition of any criminal
or any regulatory or equitable remedy upon any Seller Indemnitee or would lead to any Liability or create any financial obligation on the part of Seller Indemnitee for which Seller Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; and
(v) Buyer shall not have any obligation under this paragraph to any Seller Indemnitees if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such
Seller Indemnitee in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law. 
 SECTION 9.2. Indemnification for
Taxes. 
 (a) For the period from and after the Closing Date and ending 60 days after expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions thereto), Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any Losses attributable to (i) Taxes of the Acquired Companies for all Pre-2011
Tax Periods, (ii) Taxes for which any of the Acquired Companies is liable pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law by virtue of having been a member of any affiliated,
consolidated, combined, or unitary group prior to the Closing Date, (iii) breach of any covenants relating to Taxes made by Seller in Section 5.2(a)(x), Section 5.14, Section 5.24 and/or this Section 9.2, (iv) 50% of
any Transfer Taxes and (v) breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.10 (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 9.2(a)(v) such representations and warranties shall be interpreted without giving
effect to any express limitations or qualifications as to materiality set forth therein) except to the extent such breach or warranty relates to the existence of net operating losses, tax basis of any tangible or intangible asset of an Acquired
Company, or any other deferred tax asset with respect to an Acquired Company that is not included in Book Value. 

  
 64 









  
 (b) For
the period from and after the Closing Date and ending 60 days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against any Losses attributable to
(i) breach of any covenants relating to Taxes made by Buyer in Section 5.14, Section 5.24 and/or this Section 9.2 and (ii) 50% of any Transfer Taxes. 

(c) Buyer shall be liable for any Ordinary Taxes (as defined in Section 9.2(d)) of the Acquired Companies that are
attributable to (i) any taxable period beginning on January 1, 2011 and ending on the Closing Date or (ii) the portion of any Closing Date Straddle Period or December 31 Straddle Period beginning on January 1, 2011 and
ending on the Closing Date (the “Stub Period”) and, where Seller (or an affiliate of Seller) as a matter of law is required to pay such Ordinary Taxes with respect to such Stub Period in its return , Buyer shall reimburse Seller for such
Ordinary Taxes within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a notice setting forth the computation of the amount of such Ordinary Taxes. Seller shall be liable for any Extraordinary Taxes (as defined in Section 9.2(d)) for the Stub Period and,
where Buyer, any of the Acquired Companies (or an Affiliate of Buyer or any Acquired Company) as a matter of law is required to pay such Extraordinary Taxes with respect to such Stub Period in its return, Seller shall reimburse such party for such
Extraordinary Taxes within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a notice setting forth the computation of the amount of such Extraordinary Taxes. Any dispute regarding the calculation of Ordinary Taxes and/or Extraordinary Taxes for the Stub Period
shall be resolved as follows. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such disputed items within fifteen (15) days after written notification of such disagreement by Buyer to Seller or Seller to Buyer. If Buyer and Seller
cannot resolve their disagreement within fifteen (15) days after written notification of such disagreement, Buyer and Seller shall submit the necessary information to the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve the dispute regarding the amount
of Ordinary Taxes and/or Extraordinary Taxes for the Stub Period. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and made no later fifteen (15) days prior to the date when any Tax Return relating to the Ordinary Taxes
and/or Extraordinary Taxes is due. The parties shall be bound by the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm. For any December 31 Straddle Period or any Closing Date Straddle Period, for purposes of determining the Taxes attributable
to a specified portion (“Specified Portion”) of such December 31 Straddle Period or Closing Date Straddle Period, Taxes shall be allocated as follows: 
 (i) in the case of Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts, deemed equal to the amount that would be payable based on an interim closing of the books as of the beginning and end of or the
Specified Portion; 
 (ii) in the case of Taxes that are based upon gross premiums, deemed equal to the amount that would be
payable with respect to the premiums written as of the close of business on the last day of the Specified Portion; 
 (iii) in
the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets of Seller or the Acquired Companies, or otherwise measured by the level of any item, 

  
 65 









 
deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period),
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Specified Portion and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period; and 

(iv) In the case of any credits attributable to the Specified Portion, the portion of any such credit that is allocable to the Specified
Portion shall be determined in the same manner as would be applicable to the Taxes to which such credits relate. 

(d) “Ordinary Taxes” means any Taxes incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business. Ordinary Taxes shall not
include any Taxes arising from a breach of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 3.10 or for which Seller is required to provide indemnification under Section 9.2 or a breach of the covenants set forth in
Section 5.2(a)(x), Section 5.14, Section 5.24 and/or this Section 9.2. Ordinary Taxes of the Acquired Companies shall be calculated without taking into account any items of income, deduction, gain, loss, or credits of Seller or
any other person (other than the Acquired Companies). For avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that any items of deduction or credit of the Acquired Companies other than items described in Section 6.8(d) (including, without limitation, any net
operating loss) shall be taken into account in calculating Ordinary Taxes. “Extraordinary Taxes” means any Taxes other than (i) Ordinary Taxes or (ii) Transfer Taxes for which the Buyer is liable pursuant to Section 9.2(i).

 (e) Where Seller is required as a matter of law to prepare a Tax Return relating to a Stub Period, Seller
shall prepare such return in accordance with past practices and provide a substantially final draft of such return to Buyer for its review and comment at least forty-five (45) days prior to filing such return; provided, however, that where the
return in question includes income of persons other than the Acquired Companies (as in a consolidated federal income tax return), only the portion of such return relating to the Acquired Companies (prepared on a pro forma basis) shall be subject to
Buyer review and comment. If Buyer does not provide Seller with a written description of the items in the Tax Returns that it intends to dispute within fifteen (15) days following the delivery to it of such documents, it shall be deemed to have
accepted and agreed to such documents in the form provided. Buyer and Seller agree to consult with each other and to resolve in good faith any timely-raised issue arising as a result of the review of such Tax Returns to permit the filing of such Tax
Returns as promptly as possible. In the event the parties are unable to resolve any dispute within ten (10) days following the delivery of written notice by Buyer of such dispute, such dispute shall be submitted to the Independent Accountant to
resolve any issue in dispute at least five business days before the due date of such Tax Return, in order that such Tax Return may be timely filed. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination with respect to any disputed issue. Seller and
Buyer shall each bear one-half of the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses, and the determination of the Independent Accountant shall be binding on all parties. 

(f) Buyer and the Acquired Companies, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand shall cooperate fully, as and to the
extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns with respect to Seller and the Acquired Companies and any audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such


  
 66 









 
cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other
Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Seller agrees (i) to retain copies of all books and records of the Acquired Companies
with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Seller and the Acquired Companies relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Seller, any
extension thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority and (ii) to give Buyer reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any
such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Seller shall allow Buyer to take possession of such books and records. 
 (g) Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Government Entity or any other Person as may be necessary
to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed. 
 (h) If Buyer Indemnitees shall seek
indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a), Buyer shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 9.1(a)(ii). 
 (i) Buyer and Seller shall share equally liability for Transfer Taxes, if any, arising from the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other
documentation with respect to all such Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, the parties will, and will cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. 

(j) All tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving any of the Acquired Companies shall be
terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, none of the Acquired Companies shall be bound thereby. 
 SECTION
9.3. Limitations. 
 (a) Caps and Baskets. Neither Buyer, on the one hand, nor Seller, on the other
hand, shall be obligated to provide indemnification for claims under Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.1(b), as the case may be, until the aggregate dollar amount of any Losses subject to indemnification by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be,
exceeds the amount equal to three million dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Basket”); provided, that, for purposes of determining whether the Basket has been met or exceeded, claims for Losses arising from a single event or a group or series of
related events that are, individually or in the aggregate, less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) shall be excluded. In the event that the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the Basket, then the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify
(subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article IX) the Indemnified Party for the aggregate amount of all such Losses in excess of the Basket. In no event shall the Basket apply to Losses of any Indemnified Party in connection with,
arising out of or resulting from (i) breaches of any Fundamental Representations, (ii) Section 9.1(a)(i)(B)-(D), (iii) Section 9.1(b)(i)(B) or (iv) Section 9.2. The maximum obligation for each of Seller and Buyer
from 

  
 67 









 
and against all such Losses and the maximum amount of indemnification pursuant hereto shall not exceed forty-five million dollars ($45,000,000) (the “Indemnification Cap”); provided
that the Indemnification Cap shall not apply to Losses of any Buyer Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees in connection with, arising out of or resulting from (i) breaches of any Fundamental Representations, (ii) Section 9.1(a)(i)(B)-(D),
(iii) Section 9.1(b)(i)(B) or (iv) Section 9.2. 
 (b) Other Limitations. In addition,
the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that liability hereunder of an Indemnifying Party for any Losses shall be limited to the amount of such Losses net of any insurance proceeds or any payments made by any third-party recovered by the
Indemnified Party at the time the indemnification payment is or becomes due (net of any costs of such recovery out-of pocket prosecution costs and similar costs). The Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts
available under such insurance coverage. In the event that any such proceeds or recovery are received by the Indemnified Party after payment of an indemnity claim by the Indemnifying Party applicable, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay the
amount of such proceeds or other recovery to the Indemnifying Party to the extent it is duplicative of a prior payment made by the Indemnifying Party. Further, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any obligation under this Article IX to indemnify any
Indemnified Party in connection with any net reserves adjustment pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof or any reserves deterioration or improvement causing any such adjustment. Each Indemnified Party shall be obligated to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to mitigate any and all Losses arising out of, resulting from or relating to any matter for which such Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant hereto. In no event shall any party hereto be liable for consequential or
indirect damages, Losses based on either the reduced current or future profitability or earnings of the Acquired Companies or Losses based on a multiple of such profitability, earnings or other factor, or reduction therein (it being understood that
all Losses shall for purposes of this Article IX be determined and calculated on a direct, dollar-for-dollar basis), or other Losses not provided for in this Article IX. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for punitive damages unless such
damages are actually determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be owed by an Indemnified Party to an unaffiliated third party. With respect to Losses arising out of the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained
herein, the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party only for those claims for which the Indemnified Party has given the Indemnifying Party written notice within the Applicable Survival Period relating to such breach
provided that any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall survive the time it would otherwise terminate pursuant to Section 10.2 to the extent that the Indemnified Party shall have delivered to the Indemnifying
Party written notice setting forth such claim in respect of such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement prior to the Applicable Survival Period. Any Liability for indemnification under this Article IX shall be determined without duplication
of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. To the extent any Liability is reflected as a liability on the Audited Closing Balance
Sheet and taken into account in the calculation of the Closing Date Book Value, no Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification or other payment for such Liability under Section 9.1(a) or Section 9.2. 

  
 68 









  
 (c)
Tax Limitations. Tax Limitations. Indemnification payments under this Article IX shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party without reduction for any Tax benefits available to the Indemnified Party. However, to the extent that the
Indemnified Party recognizes a Tax benefit as a result of any Losses for which the Indemnifying Party has made all required indemnification payments, the Indemnified Party shall pay the amount of such Tax benefits actually received by the
Indemnified Party in the year in which the Losses were sustained (but not in excess of the indemnification payment or payments actually received from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses) to the Indemnifying Party after receipt of such
Tax benefit. The Indemnified Party and their affiliates will not make any tax election outside the ordinary course of business or similar action designed to defer or otherwise transfer the Tax benefit arising from Losses with respect to which the
Indemnifying Party is making an indemnification payment to a tax year other than the tax year in which the Losses were sustained and will cooperate reasonably in providing information to the Indemnifying Party regarding the availability of any
Tax benefit with respect to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party. In computing the amount of any such Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or
credit before recognizing any item arising from such Losses. For purposes of this Section 9.3(c), “received” means a reduction in the amount of the Indemnified Party’s Tax liability or an increase in the amount of a Tax refund
attributable to the year in which the Losses occur. For purposes of this Section 9.3(c) “receipt of” means (i) in the case of a Tax payment (including estimated tax payments), when such payment is first due and (ii) in the
case of a Tax refund, when the Indemnified Party is first entitled to such refund. 
 (d) Subrogation. For
any insurance benefits or rights against any third party available to an Indemnified Party in respect of a Loss which Indemnifying Party has paid for pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the rights the
Indemnified Party has against any insurer or other third party with respect thereto (and, upon the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall take appropriate actions necessary to transfer and assign such rights to the
Indemnifying Party). 
 (e) Payment. 

(i) Payment of all amounts required to be paid in this Article IX shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds
promptly after such amount has been finally determined to an account designated in writing by the party entitled to such payment. 
 (ii) The parties agree to treat all payments made pursuant to this Article IX as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes to the extent permitted by Law. 

SECTION 9.4. Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, except for seeking equitable relief, claims pursuant to Section 2.6 or
Section 5.18, and claims for fraud, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all claims arising out of, in connection with or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement will be pursuant to the
indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX, and the parties shall not be entitled to a rescission of this Agreement or to any further indemnification or other rights or claims of any nature whatsoever in respect thereof, all of which
the parties hereto hereby waive.

 SECTION 10.2. Survival. Article
II, Article IX, this Article X and the agreements of Seller and Buyer contained in Section 5.5 (Trademarks; Tradenames), Section 5.13 (Continuation of Indemnification) and Section 5.14 (Section 338(h)(10) Election) shall survive the
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein indefinitely. Subject to Section 8.2, all other representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein
for a period ending on the date that is the later of (i) twelve months after the Closing Date and (ii) March 31, 2012; provided that (A) the Fundamental Representations shall survive indefinitely and (B) the representations
and warranties made by Seller in Section 3.10 hereof shall survive until 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The period for which a representation or warranty, covenant or agreement survives the Closing is
referred to herein as the “Applicable Survival Period”. 
 SECTION 10.3. Remedies. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not
preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their respective
obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such
provisions. It is accordingly agreed that prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, on the understanding that termination pursuant to Section 8.1(b) shall not be deemed “valid” for purposes of this
Section 10.3 if the failure of the Closing to occur prior to the date set forth in Section 8.1(b) is a proximate cause of the failure by the party seeking termination to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the parties shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including Buyer’s obligation to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if it is required to do so hereunder), in each case without posting a bond or undertaking, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties
agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law.

 SECTION 10.4. Amendment; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such
amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Buyer and Seller, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law. 

  
 71 









  
 SECTION 10.5. No
Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 5.5 (Trademarks; Tradenames) and Section 5.13 (Continuation of Indemnification) for which the beneficiaries thereof shall have third party beneficiary rights, Buyer and Seller
hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other parties hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended
to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. The parties hereto further agree that
the rights of third party beneficiaries under Section 5.5 (Trademarks; Tradenames) and Section 5.13 (Continuation of Indemnification) shall not arise unless and until the Closing Date occurs. 

SECTION 10.6. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of
the other parties. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 

SECTION 10.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Schedules and Exhibits hereto) contains the entire agreement between
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, except for the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect
until the Closing. 
 SECTION 10.8. Public Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from
and after the date hereof, no press release or similar public announcement or communication shall be made or caused to be made relating to this Agreement unless specifically approved in advance by both Buyer and Seller, except as may be required to
comply with the requirements of any applicable Law and the rules and regulations of any Government Entity, in which case Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall have the right to review such press release, announcement or communication prior to its
issuance, distribution or publication. 
 SECTION 10.9. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Selection of Forum; Waiver
of Trial by Jury. THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF. Each party hereto agrees that it shall bring any action or
Proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contained in or contemplated by this Agreement, exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, or if that court
does not have jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, (collectively, the “Chosen Courts”), and solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions that are the subject
of this Agreement (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or Proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any objection that the Chosen
Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party hereto and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party hereto with 

  
 72 









 
respect thereto, (iv) agrees that service of process upon such party in any such action or Proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 10.1 of this
Agreement and (v) irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing
in this Section, however, shall affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each party hereof agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall
be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION
(I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER
ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE A COPY
OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 
 SECTION 10.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

 SECTION 10.11. No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, Buyer agrees
and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any current or future director, officer or employee of Seller or of any Affiliate or assignee
thereof, as such, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever
shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any current or future officer, agent or employee of Seller or any current or future member of Seller or any current or future director, officer or employee of Seller or of any Affiliate or
assignee thereof, as such, for any obligation of Seller under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

 SECTION 10.12. Headings. The heading references herein and the table of contents hereof are for convenience purposes
only, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. 
 SECTION 10.13. Severability. The
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof so long as the economic or legal substance of the
transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person 

  
 73 









 
or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the
intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor
shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 10.14. Interpretation. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and any rule of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring
this Agreement to be construed or interpreted against any party by virtue of the authorship of this Agreement will not apply to the construction and interpretation hereof.
