 Exhibit 10.1 

EXECUTION VERSION 
 EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT 
 This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of April 11, 2018, is between Universal
Insurance Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Jon W. Springer (the “Executive”). 

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to an Employment Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2016 and as subsequently amended on
March 10, 2016 (such agreement, the “Prior Agreement”), pursuant to which Executive was initially employed as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and, from and after March 10, 2016, as
President and Chief Risk Officer; 
 WHEREAS, the Prior Agreement expired on December 31, 2017; and 

WHEREAS, Executive and the Company now desire to enter into this Agreement in connection with Executive’s continuing employment for the
Term (as defined below) as the President and Chief Risk Officer of the Company; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and
promises contained herein and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:     

1.    Employment and Acceptance. During the Term, the Company agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to
continue his employment with the Company, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. As of the Effective Date (as defined below), this Agreement supersedes and replaces in all respects the Prior Agreement. 

2.    Term. 

(a)    Duration. The period of Executive’s employment with the Company under this Agreement commenced on
January 1, 2018 (the “Effective Date”) and will continue until the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2018 and (ii) the termination of such employment in accordance with Section 5 ( the “Term”).
Except as provided in Section 6(a), the Term will not be subject to any automatic renewal or extension unless this Agreement is amended by the parties after the Effective Date to so provide. 

(b)    Expiration of Employment Term. If Executive’s employment with the Company continues following the
expiration of the Term, Executive shall be an employee-at-will whose employment may be terminated by the Company for any reason or for no stated reason at any time,
subject only to the severance protections contemplated by Section 5 for the one-year period following the expiration of the Term. 

3.    Duties and Title. 

(a)    Title and Reporting. During the Term, the Company will employ Executive as the President and Chief Risk
Officer of the Company, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”).

 (b)    Duties. Executive shall render on a full-time basis all of
his business time and attention to business of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Group”). Executive will have such authority and responsibilities and will perform such duties assigned to the President and
Chief Risk Officer by the CEO, commensurate with his position as the President and Chief Risk Officer of the Company. If requested by the CEO, Executive will also serve as an officer or director of another member of the Company Group for no
additional consideration. The principal place of Executive’s employment shall be Eagan, Minnesota, except that Executive acknowledges and agrees that he will be required to travel for business purposes. 

(c)    Other Business and Other Activities. Executive may not engage in any activity that conflicts with the
interests of any member of the Company Group or that would interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties to any member of the Company Group, as determined by the CEO. During the Term, Executive may not hold, directly or indirectly, an
ownership interest of more than 2% in any entity other than the Company. Nothing in this agreement shall preclude Executive from dedicating reasonable amounts of time during the Term to charitable or civic activities or from managing his personal
finances, as long as such activities do not interfere in any material way with his duties and responsibilities to any member of the Company Group. 

4.    Compensation and Benefits by the Company. As compensation for all services rendered pursuant to this
Agreement, the Company will provide Executive with the following pay and benefits during the Term: 
 (a)    Base
Salary. The Company will pay Executive an annual base salary of $1,340,625, payable in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices (“Base Salary”). The annual rate of Executive’s Base Salary shall not be
increased or decreased during the Term. 
 (b)    Annual Bonus. For 2018, Executive shall be eligible to earn a
cash incentive award (the “Annual Bonus”), which shall be calculated based on Return on Average Equity (“ROAE”) before calculation of the 2018 annual bonuses paid to the CEO, Executive and Chief Operating Officer
(as calculated, the “Compensation ROAE”, or “CROAE”) using a target bonus of $4.5 million at a CROAE of 30.0%. CROAE shall be determined in a manner consistent with generally accepted accounting principles,
subject to adjustments for certain extraordinary or special items, in the form and manner determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”). Executive’s Annual Bonus will be determined in accordance with the following schedule: 
  

			
	 CROAE
	  	
% of Target

	 0%
	  	0.0%
	 10%
	  	25.0%
	 15%
	  	50.0%
	 20%
	  	75.0%
	 25%
	  	85.0%
	 30%
	  	100.0%
	 35%
	  	110.0%
	 40%
	  	120.0%

 For performance between two thresholds, the applicable % of Target will be determined by straight-line
interpolation between the applicable thresholds; provided, however, that no Annual Bonus shall be earned if CROAE is less than 10%. 
 The
calculation of the Annual Bonus shall be made promptly after the completion of the annual audit for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, subject to certification by the Committee; provided, however, that in no event shall any
Annual Bonus be paid to Executive later than March 15, 2019. Except as provided in Section 5, Executive shall not be eligible to earn or receive an Annual Bonus unless he is employed by the Company on December 31, 2018. 

(c)    Participation in Executive Benefit Plans; Private Office and Secretary. Executive is entitled, if and to the
extent eligible, to participate in the Company’s benefit plans generally available to Company employees in similar positions. For each full month during the Term, the Company shall provide Executive with a car allowance in the amount of $600
per month. Additionally, Executive shall (1) have the right to participate in a 401(k) plan available to employees of the Company, (2) receive life insurance with a coverage limit equal to $1 million, and (3) receive medical,
dental and disability insurance with a coverage limit equal to $500,000. Executive shall be given a private office with secretarial help at Executive’s principal place of employment as specified in Section 3(b) above and any and all
reasonable facilities and services so as to be suitable with his position as President and Chief Risk Officer, and so as to assist in the performance of his duties and activities. 

(d)    PSU Grants and Vesting. 

(i)    Grant of PSUs. On the Effective Date, Executive shall be eligible to receive a grant of
performance share units (“PSUs”) with a target value of $1 million on the grant date. The number of PSUs to be granted to Executive on the grant date (the “Target Number”) shall be determined by dividing the
annual grant target value (i.e., $1 million) by the closing sales price of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, on the exchange having the greatest number of shares listed or eligible for trading on that date, or, if no
sale of the common stock of the Company occurred on that date, on the next preceding date on which there was a reported sale (the “Fair Market Value”). The grant shall be made pursuant to Universal Insurance Holdings, Inc. 2009
Omnibus Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time, and any successor plan thereto (the “Omnibus Plan”), shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable equity award agreement that evidences such award
under the Omnibus Plan, and shall be governed by the Omnibus Plan, the applicable equity award agreement, and any other applicable award documentation, except that, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the award documentation and
this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The PSUs will be subject to a three-year award cycle commencing on the date of grant (the “Award Cycle”) and shall be subject to the performance-vesting and
time-vesting requirements described in this Agreement.

 (ii)    Performance-Vesting Requirements. The earn
out with respect to the PSUs will be determined by reference to the attainment of one or more pre-established performance objectives (as determined prior to the date of grant by the Committee) measured over
the first year of the Award Cycle applicable to the grant of PSUs (the “Performance Year”). Depending upon the level of attainment of the relevant performance objective or objectives, Executive shall be eligible to earn 100% of the
Target Number for “target-level” performance. No portion of the PSU award shall be earned (and the entire award will be forfeited) if performance is less than target performance. It is intended by the parties that no minimum earn out is
guaranteed with respect to such PSU award and that payout at target level will be challenging but attainable. The agreed upon performance objective and required levels of achievement for target payout for the 2018 Performance Year are set forth in
attached Schedule A. 
 (iii)    Time-Vesting Requirements and Payment.
For purposes of the PSU award, “Earn Out Number” means the number of PSUs earned for the Performance Year based upon achievement of the applicable performance objective or objectives, as certified by the Committee. Subject to
Executive’s continuous employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date, Executive shall be fully vested in two-thirds of the Earn Out Number on the first anniversary of the date of grant
(the “First Tranche”); in one-sixth of the Earn Out Number on the second anniversary of the date of grant (the “Second Tranche”); and in
one-sixth of the Earn Out Number on the third anniversary of the date of grant (the “Third Tranche”). Payment with respect to the vested portion of the Earn Out Number shall be made only
through delivery and settlement of the appropriate number of shares of the Company’s common stock within 60 days following the applicable date of vesting; provided, however, that payment with respect to the First Tranche shall not
be made until the Committee has certified attainment of the applicable performance objectives for the Performance Year. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5 or 6, Executive shall forfeit, and have no rights with respect to, any portion of
the Earn Out Number that has not vested prior to the date Executive’s employment with the Company ends. 

(iv)    Dividend Equivalents. With respect to the Second Tranche and the Third Tranche (but not the
First Tranche) of the Earn Out Number, Executive shall be credited with a cash amount equal to the cash dividends paid on the corresponding number of shares of Company’s common stock during the period beginning after the Performance Year and
ending on the vesting date of the applicable tranche. Such cash amount shall be subject to the same time-vesting conditions as the related PSUs and shall be paid to Executive in cash at the time that the shares of the Company’s common stock are
delivered to Executive in settlement of such tranche. 
 (e)    Stock Option Grant. Executive shall be entitled
to receive a grant of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Options”) in the sole discretion of the Committee. Any grant shall be made pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of the applicable equity award agreement that evidences such award under the Omnibus Plan as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and shall be governed by the Omnibus Plan, the applicable equity award agreement, and any
other applicable award documentation.

 (f)    Condition to Grants of PSUs and Options; Effect of Change in
Control. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Company shall have no obligation to grant PSUs or Options to Executive if Executive’s employment with the Company ends for any reason prior to the applicable
grant date; and (ii) the Company shall have no obligation to grant PSUs or Options to Executive or to deliver any shares of the Company’s common stock to Executive in settlement of any previously granted PSUs or Options if the stockholders
of the Company have not previously approved in accordance with applicable law an equity incentive plan of the Company with sufficient share reserves to permit such grants and settlements. It shall not be a breach of this Agreement if the Company
does not grant the PSUs or Options described in Section 4(d) or 4(e) or fails to settle previously granted PSUs or Options through the delivery of shares of Common Stock, in each case, because the Company’s stockholders have not approved
an equity incentive plan with sufficient share reserves to permit the grant and settlement of PSUs or Options described above. The Company shall have no obligation to make any substitute cash or replacement grants or awards of any type to Executive
if the stockholders of the Company fail to approve an equity incentive plan with sufficient share reserves to permit or settle the grants contemplated by this Agreement. Moreover, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Committee from making
grants of equity awards during the Term or thereafter to other officers, employees or consultants of any member of the Company Group. In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Committee from granting additional awards to Executive in
recognition of exceptional performance. The Company will use reasonable efforts to maintain a registration statement in effect on Form S-8 covering the grants and awards pursuant to this Agreement.
Subject to Section 6, (i) any substitute, amended or replacement awards granted to Executive in connection with a Change in Control (as defined below) shall contain vesting, payment-timing and exercisability terms that are no less
favorable to Executive than the comparable terms in the PSUs and Options to which they relate and (ii) the exercise price of any substitute options granted to replace outstanding Options shall be determined in a manner that complies with Treas.
Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) and that preserves the aggregate intrinsic value in the Option immediately prior to the CIC Date (as defined below). 

(g)    Vacation. Executive will be entitled to 20 days (4 weeks) of paid vacation per calendar year (earned pro
rata over the course of the year), subject to the Company’s standard vacation policies. Any unused vacation for a given calendar year shall accrue, and the aggregate value of any unused accrued vacation shall be paid to Executive upon the
termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, provided that Executive has submitted a report to the Committee within 30 days following the end of each calendar year reporting on the number of accrued and unused vacation days
for such year and the total number of accrued but unused vacation days for all prior years commencing after 2016. 

(h)    Expense Reimbursement. The Company will pay or reimburse Executive for all appropriate business expenses
Executive incurs in connection with Executive’s duties under this Agreement, in accordance with the Company’s policies as in effect from time to time, subject to the timely submission by Executive of written documentation of such expenses
in accordance with the applicable policies of the Company.

 5.    Termination of Employment. 

(a)    Notice. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, the Company may terminate Executive’s
employment, and Executive may resign his employment, for any reason or for no stated reason, at any time during the Term. The Company shall give Executive 90 days’ prior written notice of its intention to terminate his employment other than for
Cause, and Executive shall give the Company 90 days’ prior written notice of his intention to resign for any reason. Any such notice shall specify the applicable termination or resignation date. In the event of a termination or resignation
notice, the Company will have the right to restrict Executive’s access to its premises, clients and employees during the notice period. 

(b)    Accrued Obligations. If Executive’s employment ends for any reason, Executive (or in the event of his
death, Executive’s estate) will receive, within 30 days following the Termination Date (as defined below), a lump sum cash payment equal to: (i) his accrued but unpaid Base Salary through the Termination Date and any earned but unpaid
Annual Bonus for any year prior to the year in which the Termination Date occurs, and any undelivered shares of Company common stock in respect of a tranche of PSUs for which the vesting and payment date has occurred on or prior to the Termination
Date, (ii) any employee benefits Executive may be entitled to pursuant to the Company’s employee benefit plans through the Termination Date, (iii) any accrued and unused vacation as set forth in Section 4(g) above through the
Termination Date, and (iv) any expenses reimbursable under Section 4(h) incurred but not yet reimbursed to Executive through the Termination Date (collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”). 

(c)    Termination with Cause; Resignation without Good Reason. 

(i)    In General; Payments. The Company has the right at any time to terminate Executive’s
employment with the Company for Cause (as defined below) and, subject to Section 5(a) above, Executive has the right to resign without Good Reason (as defined below). If the Company terminates Executive for an event of Cause described in
clause (B), (C), or (D) of Section 5(c)(ii), the Company shall provide Executive 30 days prior to the date on which it intends to terminate Executive’s employment for Cause with a written notice from the Company identifying the
reasons that are alleged to constitute Cause and shall afford Executive a reasonable opportunity to meet once with the CEO within the 30-day notice period to discuss and present evidence relevant to the
termination decision. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment for an event of Cause not described in the previous sentence, such termination shall be effective immediately upon the Company’s written notice to Executive. If the
Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause or Executive resigns without Good Reason, the Company’s obligation to Executive shall be limited solely to the Accrued Obligations. If Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause,
(i) no Annual Bonus shall be payable for the calendar year in which such termination occurs, and (ii) any then outstanding unvested PSUs shall be immediately forfeited as of the Termination Date (as defined in Section 5(g)(i) below)
and (iii) any vested and unvested Options shall terminate as of the Termination Date. If Executive resigns his employment without Good Reason, (i) no Annual Bonus shall be payable for the calendar year in which such resignation occurs, and
(ii) any then outstanding unvested PSUs shall be immediately

forfeited as of the Termination Date (as defined in Section 5(g)(ii) below) and any vested and unvested Options shall terminate 90 days following the Termination Date (or, if earlier, on the
expiration date of the term of the Options). 
 (ii)    For purposes of this Agreement,
“Cause” means, as determined by the CEO (or his designee), any of the following: (A) Executive’s abuse of alcohol or any controlled substance; (B) a willful act of fraud, dishonesty or breach of fiduciary duty on the
part of Executive with respect to the business or affairs of the Company; (C) a knowing and material failure by Executive to comply with applicable laws and regulations or professional standards relating to the business of the Company;
(D) Executive’s willful and continuing failure to perform his duties to the Company (after notice from the CEO of such failure) or any material breach by Executive of a provision of this Agreement except, in each case, where such failure
or breach is caused by the illness or other similar medical incapacity (other than for a reason described in clause (A) of this Section 5(c)(ii)) of Executive or any willful act or omission by Executive that results in material harm to the
Company’s financial condition, business or reputation; (E) Executive being subject to an inquiry or investigation by a governmental authority or self-regulatory organization such that the existence of such inquiry or investigation will, in
the judgment of the CEO, result in material damage to the Company’s business interests, licenses, reputation or prospects; or (F) Executive’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or no contest to: (i) any felony or (ii) any
misdemeanor involving moral turpitude. For purposes of this definition, no act or omission shall be deemed willful unless done intentionally and without a good faith belief by Executive that such act or omission was in the best interest of the
Company. 
 (d)    Termination without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason. 

(i)    Subject to the further provisions of this Section 5(d) and Section 6, if during the Term
or, if the Term expires without renewal or extension and prior to a Change in Control, during the one-year period following the expiration of the Term, the Company terminates Executive’s employment
without Cause or Executive resigns for Good Reason, the Company will pay Executive on the 60th day following the Termination Date (as defined below), in addition to the Accrued Obligations, a lump-sum cash payment equal to the following (the “Severance Amount”): 
  

	 	•	 	One times the amount of Executive’s then-current annual rate of Base Salary (based on the rate in effect immediately prior to the Termination Date); and 

 

	 	•	 	The cost of 12 months of COBRA coverage for Executive and his dependents (based on the COBRA rates in effect on the Termination Date). 

In addition, by no later than March 15th of the year following the year in which the
Termination Date occurs, Executive shall receive a pro rata portion of the Annual Bonus (the “Pro Rata Bonus”) for the year of termination calculated on the basis of the Company’s actual performance for such year and
prorated based on the numbers of days elapsed in such year through the Termination Date.

 (ii)     Subject to the further provisions of this
Section 5(d) and Section 6, in the event of Executive’s termination without Cause or resignation for Good Reason, the portion of then outstanding PSUs and Options that would have vested had Executive remained continuously employed by
the Company through the end of the one-year period following the Termination Date shall fully vest immediately as of the Termination Date (the “Additional Equity Vesting”). The PSUs entitled
to Additional Equity Vesting pursuant to this Section 5(d)(ii) shall become payable within 30 days following their originally scheduled vesting dates contemplated by Section 3(d)(iii).    The Earn Out Number for any
PSUs entitled to Additional Equity Vesting pursuant to this Section 5(d)(ii) for which the Performance Year has not been completed shall be determined after the end of the Performance Year based on actual performance for the full Performance
Year. Any then vested Options (including Options that vested in accordance with this paragraph) held by Executive shall remain exercisable for a period of one year following the Termination Date (but not beyond the original term of the Options)
(“Extended Exercisability”). 
 (iii)    The Company’s obligation to pay Executive
the Severance Amount and the Pro Rata Bonus and to provide the Additional Equity Vesting and the Extended Exercisability are each expressly conditioned upon Executive’s execution and timely delivery to the Company of a valid and irrevocable
release agreement in substantially the form of attached Schedule B by no later than 45 days following the Termination Date. 

(iv)    As used in this Section 5(d), “Good Reason” means any of the following acts
or omissions by the Company occurring without Executive’s prior written consent: (A) any action by the Company which results in Executive ceasing to be the President and Chief Risk Officer of the Company or any other material adverse
change in Executive’s title, duties or reporting responsibilities; (B) the assignment to Executive of duties materially inconsistent with Executive’s position as the President and Chief Risk Officer of the Company; (C) a
reduction in Executive’s rate of Base Salary or Annual Bonus opportunity or the failure by the Company (other than by reason of bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership) to pay Executive’s Base Salary or any earned Annual Bonus or, subject
to Section 4(f), to make the PSU grant contemplated by this Agreement; (D) the requirement by the Company that Executive move his principal place of employment more than 50 miles from the location of his principal place of
employment on the Effective Date; or (E) any material breach by the Company of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, an act or omission by the Company shall not constitute an event of Good Reason unless Executive gives the Company written
notice within 60 days following the date Executive first knows, or reasonably should have known, of the event constituting Good Reason of his intention to resign for Good Reason if such Good Reason event is not cured by the Company, and the Company
does not cure such event (retroactively with respect to any monetary matter) to the reasonable satisfaction of Executive within 30 days following the date the Company receives such written notice from Executive.

 (e)    Termination Due to Death or Disability. 

(i)    If, during the Term, Executive shall become unable to perform his duties as provided for herein by
reason of Disability (as defined below), then the Company may, on 30 days’ prior written notice to Executive, temporarily suspend his status as President and Chief Risk Officer of the Company. In the event of such suspension, Executive shall
remain an employee of the Company and receive his compensation and benefits as set forth above in Section 4 for the lesser of: (i) one year from the date of such suspension or (ii) the date on which Executive is first eligible for
long-term disability payments under the Company’s long-term disability plan then applicable to him (the “Suspension Period”). If during the Suspension Period, Executive returns to perform his duties as provided for herein, and
there is no physical or mental inability to perform such duties, then Executive shall resume his status as President and Chief Risk Officer, and the Company shall continue payment of his full compensation and benefits as set forth in Section 4.
Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate at the end of the Suspension Period if Executive has not returned by the end of the Suspension Period to the full-time performance of his duties hereunder. 

(ii)    If Executive’s employment terminates because of Executive’s death or Disability (as
defined below), within 30 days of such termination, the Company will pay to Executive (or Executive’s estate, in the case of Executive’s death) the Accrued Obligations and any employee benefits to which Executive may be entitled to
pursuant to the Company’s employee benefit plans through such period; provided, however, that, in the case of Executive’s death, benefit payments under any employee benefit plan shall be paid to Executive’s beneficiary
or beneficiaries designated pursuant to such employee benefit plans in lieu of to his estate. In addition, by no later than March 15th of the year following the year in which the Termination Date
(as defined in Section 5(g)(iv) or Section 5(g)(v) below, as applicable) occurs, Executive (or Executive’s estate in the case of Executive’s death) shall also be paid a Pro Rata Bonus for the year in which the termination occurs.
Solely for purposes of this Section 5(e), the date of Executive’s termination of employment due to Disability or death shall be treated as the date of a termination without Cause under Section 5(d) (but not Section 6) for
purposes of the vesting, payment and exercisability of then outstanding PSUs and Options. 

(iii)    “Disability” means a determination by the Company after review of written
information provided by Executive’s healthcare provider that, as a result of a physical or mental injury or illness, Executive has been unable to perform the essential functions of Executive’s job for a period of 90 consecutive days. 

(f)    Unvested Options and PSUs. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any Options and PSU
awards outstanding on the Termination Date that have not vested prior to such Termination Date or that do not expressly vest or remain outstanding by operation of this Section 5 or Section 6 below shall be forfeited on the Termination
Date.

 (g)    Termination Date. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Termination Date” shall have the following meanings: 
 (i)    in the event of
Executive’s termination for Cause, subject to the applicable notice provisions, the date specified in the written notice of termination delivered to Executive by the Company in accordance with Section 5(c); 

(ii)    in the event of Executive’s resignation with or without Good Reason, the 90th day following the date the written notice of intention to resign is received by the Company; 

(iii)    in the event of Executive’s termination without Cause, the 90th day following the date the written notice of termination is received by Executive; 

(iv)    in the event of Executive’s termination due to death, the date of Executive’s death; and

 (v)    in the event of Executive’s termination due to Disability, the last day of the Suspension
Period, if Executive has not returned to the full-time performance of his duties as specified in Section 5(e) by such date. 

6.    Change in Control. 

(a)    Termination in Connection with a Change in Control. 

(i)    In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 6(a)(iii) below) occurring during
the then existing Term, the Term shall automatically continue until the second anniversary of the CIC Date (as defined below). In the event that the Company terminates Executive’s employment without Cause or Executive resigns his employment
with the Company for Good Reason, in each case, upon or within 24 months following the date on which a Change in Control occurs (such date of occurrence, the “CIC Date”), then: (A) in lieu of the Severance Amount, the Company
or its successor shall pay Executive no later than the 60th day following the Termination Date a cash lump sum amount equal to the sum of (1) four times Executive’s then annual rate of
Base Salary plus (2) two times the amount of the Annual Bonus paid or payable to Executive for the calendar year prior to the calendar year in which the CIC Date occurs; (B) all Options held by Executive shall immediately vest and
become exercisable for the period of Extended Exercisability; and (C) all PSUs held by Executive shall immediately vest and become payable within 30 days following their regularly scheduled vesting dates contemplated by Section 3(d)(iii);
provided, however, the Earn Out Number for any previously granted PSUs for which the Performance Year has not been completed shall be based on the annualized performance for the Performance Year (based on actual performance through the
Termination Date), adjusted in an equitable manner determined by the Committee to take into account the Change in Control; and further provided that in no event shall the Earn Out Number as determined hereunder exceed that which would
be payable in connection with target performance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive’s entitlements under clauses (A), (B) and (C) of this Section 6(a)(i) are each expressly conditioned upon the timely
satisfaction of the release delivery requirements of Section 5(d)(iii).

 (ii)    Notwithstanding Section 6(a)(i) above, in
the event of a consolidation or merger of the Company described in clause (A)(I) of the definition of Change in Control in Section 6(a)(iii) in which the consideration received by the stockholders of the Company in the Change in Control
consists exclusively of cash, securities not listed for trading on a national securities exchange or automated quotation system, or a combination of cash and such unlisted securities, then the following shall apply: (A) all then outstanding
Options shall immediately vest in full upon the CIC Date and the Company or its successor shall cause Executive to receive in cancellation of such Options a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of the number of shares of common stock
underlying such Options multiplied by the fair market value of the consideration per share paid to the Company’s stockholders in the merger or consolidation less the aggregate exercise price of such Options; and (B) all outstanding PSUs
shall vest in full immediately prior to the CIC Date and shall be settled through the delivery of shares of the Company’s common stock to Executive. For purposes of the previous sentence, the Earn Out Number for any previously granted PSUs for
which the Performance Year has not been completed on the CIC Date shall be based on target performance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no acceleration of the settlement or delivery of any PSUs pursuant to this
Section 6(a)(ii)(B) shall occur unless the Change in Control constitutes a “change in ownership,” “change in effective control” or “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company, as
such terms are described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(5). 

(iii)    For purposes of this Agreement, and notwithstanding any contrary definition in the Omnibus Plan as
to the treatment of the PSUs under this Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if: (A) there shall be consummated (I) any consolidation or merger in which the Company is not the continuing or
surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of the Company’s common stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a consolidation or a merger having the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the
surviving corporation immediately after the consolidation or merger or (II) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions other than in the ordinary course of business of the Company) of
all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company to any corporation, person or other entity which is not a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (B) any person, group, corporation or other entity (collectively,
“Persons”) shall acquire beneficial ownership (as determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and rules and regulations promulgated hereunder) of more than 50% of the Company’s
outstanding common stock or voting securities or (C) individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided,
however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising
the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened
election contest or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board.

 (iv)    For purposes of this Agreement, the “CIC
Date” shall mean: (A) with respect to a transaction contemplated under clause (A)(I) of Section 6(a)(iii), the closing date of such consolidation or merger; (B) with respect to a transaction contemplated under clause A(II) of
Section 6(a)(iii), the date on which such sale, lease, exchange or other transfer is completed (which shall be the completion date of the final transaction if a series of transactions is contemplated); (C) with respect to an acquisition
contemplated under clause (B) of Section 6(a)(iii), the date of the closing of the tender offer or other acquisition pursuant to which the requisite beneficial ownership percentage is acquired by such Person or Persons; and (D) with
respect to a change in Board composition contemplated under clause (C) of Section 6(a)(iii), the date of appointment of the director or group of directors that would cause the Incumbent Board to cease to constitute a majority for purposes
of such clause (C). 
 (b)    Limitation on Change in Control Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, in the event that it is determined by an independent accounting firm chosen by mutual agreement of the parties (the “Accounting Firm”) that any economic benefit, payment or distribution by the Company to
or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid, payable, distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (and the applicable regulations thereunder) (the “Code”) (such excise tax referred to in this Agreement as the “Excise Tax”), then the value of any such Payments payable under this
Agreement (the “Agreement Payments”) which constitute “parachute payments” under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, as determined by the Accounting Firm, will be reduced so that the present value of all Payments
(calculated in accordance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder), in the aggregate, is equal to 2.99 times Executive’s “base amount,” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code (the
“Reduced Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agreement Payments shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount only if the Accounting Firm determines that Executive would have a greater “Net
After-Tax Receipt” (as defined below) of aggregate Payments if the Executive’s Agreement Payments were reduced to the Reduced Amount. “Net After
Tax-Receipt” shall mean the present value (as determined in accordance with Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(ii) and 280G(d)(4) of the Code) of a Payment net of all taxes imposed on Executive with respect
thereto under Sections 1 and 4999 of the Code and under applicable state and local laws (and including any employment, social security or Medicare taxes, and other taxes (including any other excise taxes)), determined by applying the highest
marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws which applied to Executive’s taxable income for the tax year in which the CIC Date occurs, or such other rate(s) as the Accounting Firm determines to be likely to
apply to Executive in the relevant tax year(s) in which any Payment is expected to be made.

 7.    Restrictions and Obligations of Executive. 

(a)    Non-Disparagement. Executive will not at any time (whether during or
after the Term) publish or communicate to any person or entity any Disparaging remarks, comments or statements concerning the Company or any member of the Company Group and any of its or their respective present and former members, partners,
directors, officers, stockholders, employees, agents, attorneys, successors, assigns, clients and agents. The Company will not at any time (whether during or after the Term) cause or assist the CEO or any of its then-current directors to publish or
communicate, to any person or entity any Disparaging remarks, comments or statements concerning Executive. “Disparaging” remarks, comments or statements are those that impugn the character, honesty, integrity, morality, business
acumen or abilities in connection with any aspect of the operation of business of the individual or entity being disparaged. 

(b)    Confidentiality. 

(i)    During the course of Executive’s employment, Executive has had and will have access to
certain trade secrets and confidential information relating to the Company and the members of the Company Group which is not readily available from sources outside the Company. The parties agree that the business in which the Company and the Company
Group engages is highly sales-oriented and the goodwill established between Executive and the Company’s customers and potential customers is a valuable and legitimate business interest worthy of protection under this Agreement. Executive
recognizes that, by virtue of Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive is granted otherwise prohibited access to the Company Group’s confidential and proprietary data which is not known to its competitors and which has independent
economic value to the Company and that Executive will gain an intimate knowledge of each member of the Company Group’s reinsurance business and its policies, customers, employees and trade secrets, and of other confidential, proprietary,
privileged or secret information of the Company and its clients (collectively, all such nonpublic information is referred to as “Confidential Information”). This Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, data
relating to each member of the Company Group’s marketing and servicing programs, procedures and techniques, business, management and personnel strategies, analytic tools and processes, the criteria and formulae used by the Company and other
members of the Company Group in pricing its insurance products and claims management, loss control and information management services, the Company’s and each Company Group member’s computer system, reinsurance marketing program and the
skill of marketing and selling products, the structure and pricing of special reinsurance products or packages that each member of the Company Group has negotiated with various underwriters, lists of prospects, customer lists and renewals, the
identity, authority and responsibilities of key contacts at clients’ accounts, the composition and organization of clients’ business, the peculiar risks inherent in a client’s operations, highly sensitive details concerning the
structure, conditions and extent of a client’s existing insurance and reinsurance coverages, policy expiration dates and premium amounts, commission rates, risk management service arrangements, loss histories and other data showing
clients’ particularized insurance requirements and preferences. 
 (ii)    Except as required by law
or an order of a court or governmental agency with jurisdiction, Executive will not, during the Term or any time thereafter, disclose any Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, to any person or entity for any reason or

 Jon W. Springer 

Employment Agreement

purpose whatsoever, nor will Executive use Confidential Information for any commercial or business purpose. Executive will take all reasonable steps to safeguard the Confidential Information and
to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. Executive understands and agrees that Executive will acquire no rights to any such Confidential Information. 

(iii)    At the Company’s request from time to time and upon the termination of Executive’s
employment for any reason, Executive will promptly deliver to the Company all copies and embodiments, in whatever form, of all Confidential Information in Executive’s possession or within Executive’s control (including, but not limited to,
memoranda, records, notes, plans, photographs, manuals, notebooks, documentation, program listings, flow charts, magnetic media, disks, diskettes, tapes and all other materials containing any Confidential Information) irrespective of the location or
form of such material. If requested by the Company, Executive will provide the Company with written confirmation that all such materials have been delivered to the Company as provided herein. 

(iv)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive shall have the right under Federal law
to certain protections for cooperating with or reporting legal violations to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and/or its Office of the Whistleblower, as well as certain other governmental entities. No provisions in
this Agreement are intended to prohibit Executive from disclosing this Agreement to, or from cooperating with or reporting violations to, the SEC or any other such governmental entity, and Executive may do so without disclosure to the Company. The
Company may not retaliate against Executive for any of these activities, and nothing in this Agreement would require Executive to waive any monetary award or other payment that Executive might become entitled to from the SEC or any other
governmental entity. 
 (c)    Non-Solicitation or Hire. During the Term
and for a period of 12 months following the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason (whether during or after the Term) (the “Non-Solicit Period”), Executive will not directly
or indirectly solicit or attempt to solicit or induce, directly or indirectly: (1) any person who is a client, customer or policyholder of any member of the Company Group, or who was a client, customer or policyholder of any member of the
Company Group at any time during the one-year period immediately prior to the Termination Date, for the purpose of marketing, selling or providing to any such party any services or products offered by or
available from any member of the Company Group and (2) any employee of, or independent contractor or consultant to, any member of the Company Group or any person who was an employee of, or independent contractor or consultant to, any member of
the Company Group during the one-year period immediately prior to the Termination Date to terminate such employee’s employment relationship or such independent contractor’s or consultant’s
relationship with such member of the Company Group, in either case, to enter into a similar relationship with Executive or any other person or any entity in competition with any member of the Company Group. During the
Non-Solicit Period, Executive will not enter into an employment, consulting or independent contractor relationship, directly or indirectly, with any employee of, or independent contractor or consultant to, any
member of a Company Group or 

 Jon W. Springer 

Employment Agreement

 of 19 
  

 
any person who was an employee of, or independent contractor or consultant to, any member of a Company Group during the one-year period immediately prior
to the date Executive’s employment terminates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solicitations incidental to general advertising or other general solicitations in the ordinary course not specifically targeted at such employees, independent
contractors or consultants and employment of (or entry into an independent contractor or consultancy relationship with) any person not otherwise solicited in violation hereof shall not be considered a violation of this Section 7(c). Executive
shall not be in violation of this Section 7(c) solely by providing a reference for a former employee of, or independent contractor or consultant to, the Company. 

(d)    Non-Competition. During the Term and for a period of 12 months
following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason (whether during or after the Term, but subject to the limitation set forth in the last sentence of this paragraph) (the “Non-Compete
Period”), Executive will not, whether individually, as a director, manager, member, stockholder, partner, owner, employee, consultant or agent of any business, or in any other capacity, other than on behalf of a member of the Company Group,
organize, establish, own, operate, manage, control, engage in, participate in, invest in, permit Executive’s name to be used by, act as a consultant or advisor to, render services for (alone or in association with any person, firm, corporation
or business organization) or otherwise assist any person or entity that engages in or owns, invests in, operates, manages or controls any venture or enterprise which engages or proposes to engage in any business conducted by any member of the
Company Group during the one-year period immediately prior to the date Executive’s employment terminates. In the event that the Term expires on December 31, 2018 and Executive and Company have not
entered into a new employment agreement or renewed this Agreement on or prior to such date, the Non-Compete Period shall not extend beyond December 31, 2020. 

(e)    Company Policies. During the Term and all periods thereafter, Executive will remain in material compliance
with the Company’s policies and guidelines, including the Company’s code of business conduct or code of ethics. 

8.    Remedies; Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that Executive’s breach or threatened
breach of any of the restrictions set forth in Section 7 will result in irreparable and continuing damage to the Company and the Company Group for which there may be no adequate remedy at law and that the Company and the Company Group are
entitled to equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for any such breach or threatened or attempted breach. Executive consents to the grant of an injunction (temporary or otherwise) against Executive or the
entry of any other court order against Executive prohibiting and enjoining Executive from violating, or directing Executive to comply with, any provision of Section 7. Executive also agrees that such remedies are in addition to any and all
remedies, including damages, available to the Company and the Company Group against Executive for such breaches or threatened or attempted breaches. In addition, without limiting the Company’s and the Company Group’s remedies for any
breach of any restriction on Executive set forth in Section 7, except as required by law, Executive is not entitled to any payments set forth in Sections 5(d) or 6(a) if Executive has materially breached the covenants contained in
Section 7. Executive will immediately return to the Company any such payments previously received under Sections 5(d) or 6(a) upon such a material breach and, in the event of such breach, the Company will have no obligation to pay any of
the amounts that remain payable by the Company under Sections 5(d) or 6(a).

 9.    Code Section 409A. The provisions of this
Section 9 shall apply notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement. 
 (a)    Delay of Payments. If, at
the time of Executive’s termination or resignation with the Company, Executive is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then any amounts payable to Executive that the Company determines constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code and which are subject to the six-month delay required by Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(c)(3)(v), shall be delayed and not paid to
Executive until the first business day following the six-month anniversary of Executive’s date of termination or resignation (the “Deferral Date”), at which time such delayed amounts will
be paid to Executive in a cash lump sum (the “Catch-Up Amount”). If payment of an amount is delayed as a result of this Section 9(a), such amount shall be increased with interest from the
date on which such amount would otherwise have been paid to Executive but for this Section 9(a) to the day prior to the date the Catch-Up Amount is paid. The rate of interest shall be the applicable
short-term federal rate applicable under Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code for the month in which the date of Executive’s termination or resignation occurs. Such interest shall be paid at the same time that the Catch-Up Amount is paid. If Executive dies on or after the date of Executive’s termination or resignation of employment and prior to the Deferral Date, any amount delayed pursuant to this Section 9(a)
shall be paid to Executive’s estate or beneficiary, as applicable, together with interest, within 30 days following the date of Executive’s death. 

(b)     “Specified Employee” has the meaning set forth in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code.
The determination of whether Executive constitutes a Specified Employee on the date of his termination or resignation shall be made in accordance with the Company’s established methodology for determining Specified Employees. 

(c)     “Separation from Service” means a “separation from service” from the Company within the
meaning of the default rules under the final regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of compliance with Section 409A of the Code, when used in this Agreement, the terms “terminate,”
“terminated,” “termination,” “resign,” “resigned” and “resignation” mean a termination of Executive’s employment that constitutes a Separation from Service. 

(d)     Separate Payments and Reimbursements. For purposes of applying the provisions of Section 409A of the
Code to this Agreement, each separately identifiable amount to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment. To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefit
payments under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A, such reimbursements and in-kind benefit payments shall be made in accordance with Section 409A, and payments of such reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the relevant expense is incurred.

14.    Waiver and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended,
and the terms and conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by the parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. Except as provided in Section 5(d)(iv), no delay on the part of any party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any right, power or privilege hereunder, nor any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. 

15.    Governing Law. This Agreement and the implementation of it shall be subject to and governed by the laws of
the State of Florida applicable to contracts fully executed and performed in such State. 
 16.    Venue. The
parties agree that the exclusive venue for any litigation relating to this Agreement will be the state courts located in Broward County, Florida and the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida, Fort Lauderdale Division in Broward

 17.    Assignability by the Company and Executive. The Company
shall have the right to assign this Agreement to its successors or assigns, and the Executive hereby consents to any such assignment. All covenants or agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by or against, the
Company’s successors or assigns. The terms “successors” and “assigns” shall include, but not be limited to, any successor upon a Change in Control.    Executive may not assign this Agreement or the rights
and entitlements hereunder, except that any payments owed to Executive under this Agreement in the event of his death shall be payable to his estate. Executive may not delegate his duties and responsibilities hereunder. 

18.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but
all of which will constitute one and the same instrument. 
 19.    Headings. The headings in this Agreement are
for convenience of reference only and will not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of terms contained herein. 

20.    Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction of any foreign, federal, state, county or local government or any other governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against public policy for any
reason, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected or impaired or invalidated. If any court determines that any of such covenants, or any
part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable because of the geographic or temporal scope of such provision, such court will reduce such scope to the minimum extent necessary to make such covenants valid and enforceable. Executive acknowledges that the
restrictive covenants contained in Section 7 are a condition of this Agreement and are reasonable and valid in temporal scope and in all other respects. 

21.    Tax Withholding. The Company or other payor is authorized to withhold from any benefit provided or payment
due hereunder, the amount of withholding taxes due any federal, state or local authority in respect of such benefit or payment and to take such other action as may be necessary in the Company’s opinion to satisfy all obligations for the payment
of such withholding taxes.

and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

Section
4. Conversion.

 

a) Voluntary
Conversion. At any time while this the Debenture isoutstanding, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4(d), this
Debenture (including principal and accrued but unpaid interest on any principal being converted, if any) shall be convertible,
in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time (subject to the
conversion limitations set forth in Section 4(d) hereof).  The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the
Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “Notice of
Conversion”), specifying therein the principal amount (and any accrued interest) of this Debenture to be converted and
the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “Conversion Date”).  If no Conversion
Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered
hereunder.  No ink-original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee
or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required by the Company.  To effect conversions hereunder,
the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this
Debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of
lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture (and accrued interest thereon, if applicable) in an amount equal to
the applicable conversion.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and
the date of such conversion(s).  The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within one (1) Business
Day of delivery of such Notice of Conversion.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall
be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this
Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this
Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

     5

     

    

 

b) Conversion
Price.  The conversion fixed price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to on dollar cents $1.00 (the “Conversion
Price”, provided, however and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, during an Event of Default the Conversion
Price in effect on any Conversion Date means, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, shall be 35% of the lowest
trading price for the Company’s Common Stock during the twenty Trading Days immediately preceding the delivery by the
Holder of a Notice of Conversion. The applicable prices shall be as reported by Bloomberg L.P. Notwithstanding the foregoing;
in no event shall the Conversion Price be less then the par value of the Common Stock. All such foregoing determinations will
be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction that
proportionately decreases or increases the Common Stock during such measuring period. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s
right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 hereof and the Holder shall have the right
to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant
to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

 

c) Mechanics
of Conversion.

 

i. Conversion
Shares Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount.  The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion hereunder
shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted
and any accrued and unpaid interest by (y) the Conversion Price.

 

ii. Delivery
of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “Share Delivery
Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing
the Conversion Shares. The Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Debenture may not be sold or transferred unless
(i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) the Company or its transfer
agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be provided, at the Holder’s option, by
the Company’s legal counsel or legal counsel provided by the Holder, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, at
the Company’s expense) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an
exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S.
All certificate or certificates required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(c) shall be delivered electronically
through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions. Except as
otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the Conversion
Shares have been registered under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S
without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate
for the Conversion Shares that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant
to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in
the following form, as appropriate:

 

NEITHER THIS
SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF
COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT OR COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.  THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN
CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROHIBITED BY FEDERAL OR
STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

     6

     

    

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, commencing on such date that the Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 subject to current public information
requirements, the Company shall obtain at its cost a legal opinion to allow for such sales under Rule 144. The Holder agrees
to sell all Conversion Shares, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance
with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any.   

 

iii. Failure
to Deliver Certificates.  If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such certificate or certificates are not delivered
to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice
to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which
event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Debenture delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly
return to the Company the Common Stock certificates issued to such Holder pursuant to the rescinded Conversion Notice.

 

iv. Obligation
Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages.  The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon
conversion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or
inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment
against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any
breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation
of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation
of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares (but subject to Section 4(d) of this Debenture); provided, however,
that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder. 
In the event the Holder of this Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company
may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged
in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason (except as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents), unless
an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall
have been sought. If the injunction is not granted, the Company shall promptly comply with all conversion obligations herein.
If the injunction is obtained, the Company must post a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in the amount of 150% of the
outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, which is subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the
completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder to the
extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares or, if applicable,
cash, upon a properly noticed conversion.  If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate
or certificates pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii) by the Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, $10 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after
such Share Delivery Date until such certificates are delivered or Holder rescinds such conversion.    Nothing herein
shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 hereof for the
Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to
pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance
and/or injunctive relief.  The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages
pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

 

     7

     

    

 

v. Compensation
for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates upon Conversion. In addition to any other rights available to the
Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such certificate or certificates by the Share Delivery Date
pursuant to Section 4(c)(ii), and if after such Share Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in
an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to
deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion
relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in
addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total
purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual
sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions)
and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Debenture in a principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number
of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under
Section 4(c)(ii).  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a
Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Debenture with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion
Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of
the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.  The Holder shall provide the
Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company,
evidence of the amount of such loss.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available
to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief
with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion
of this Debenture as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

vi. Reservation
of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company covenants that, it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the greater of (i) the following
formula: 1 X (P/CP) or (ii) 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion
of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other
actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common
Stock as shall (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement) be issuable (taking into account the
adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and
payment of interest hereunder. In the foregoing formula, “P” shall mean principal amount of this Debenture; and “CP”
shall mean the applicable Conversion Price in effect. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable
shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

     8

     

    

 

vii. Fractional
Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Debenture. 
As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall
at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied
by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.

 

viii. Transfer
Taxes and Expenses.  The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock on conversion of this Debenture shall
be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue
or delivery of such certificates, provided that, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the
Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until
the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established
to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.  The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for
same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion.

 

d) Holder’s
Conversion Limitations.

 

i.  Reserved. 

ii. The
Company shall not effect any conversion of this Debenture, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this
Debenture, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder
(together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s
Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of
the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture with respect to which such determination is being
made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted
principal amount of this Debenture beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of
the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise
analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth
in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section
13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  To the extent that the limitation contained
in this Section 4(d) applies, the determination of whether this Debenture is convertible (in relation to other securities owned
by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be in the sole
discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination
of whether this Debenture may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates)
and which principal amount of this Debenture is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure
compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion
that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation
to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated
above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
For purposes of this Section 4(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent
periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company,
or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm
orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding
shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including
this Debenture, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was
reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Debenture
held by the Holder.  The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event
exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares
of Common Stock upon conversion of this Debenture held by the Holder and the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this
Section 4(d) shall continue to apply.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day
after such notice is delivered to the Company.  The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be
construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(d) to correct this
paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained
herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained
in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Debenture.

 

     9

     

    

 

e) Mandatory
Prepayment. In the event that the Company consummates any financing (including, without limitation, equity or debt) with gross
proceeds to the Company equal to or greater than $10,000,000, then the Company shall within three (3) Trading Days of the closing
of such financing, prepay to the Holder in cash the principal amount of this Debenture and any accrued and unpaid interest as
follows: the Company shall make payment to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the sum of the then outstanding principal amount
of this Debenture being prepaid and accrued interest thereon multiplied by 125%. The Holder may continue to convert the Debenture
from the date notice of the prepayment is given until the date of the prepayment.

 

Section
5. Certain Adjustments.

 

a) Stock
Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or
otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any Common Stock
Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion
of, or payment of interest on, the Debentures), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares,
(iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares
or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company,
then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
(excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend
or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

     10

     

    

 

b)  Anti-Dilution.
If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, the Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, sells or grants any option
to purchase or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues, any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion
Price except to the extent that such issuance is an Exempt Issuance (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price”
and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents
so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise
or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance,
be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the Conversion Price, such issuance
shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion
Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common
Stock Equivalents are issued. The Company shall notify the Holder in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance
of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents subject to this Section 5(b), indicating therein the applicable issuance price,
or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance
Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this
Section 5(b), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based
upon the Base Conversion Price on or after the date of such Dilutive Issuance, regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers
to the Base Conversion Price in the Notice of Conversion.. 

 

c) Reserved. 

 

d) Pro
Rata Distributions. During such time as this Debenture is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or
other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital
or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of
a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”),
at any time after the issuance of this Debenture, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such
Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of
Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Debenture (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including
without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution,
or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the
participation in such Distribution (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate
in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be
entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a
result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of
the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

     11

     

    

 

e) Fundamental
Transaction. If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more
related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly
or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially
all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange
offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell,
tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of
the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification,
reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is
effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one
or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without
limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person
acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person
or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share
purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent
conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable
upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in
Section 4(d) on the conversion of this Debenture), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation
or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”)
receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Debenture
is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 4(d) on the conversion
of this Debenture).  For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately
adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one (1)
share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate
Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. 
If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction,
then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Debenture
following such Fundamental Transaction.  The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which
the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the
Company under this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(e) pursuant
to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable
delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the holder of this Debenture, deliver to the Holder in
exchange for this Debenture a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form
and substance to this Debenture which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity
(or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Debenture (without
regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Debenture) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price
which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the
shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of
shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Debenture immediately
prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for
(so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents
referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of
the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Debenture and the other Transaction Documents with
the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

 

     12

     

    

 

f) Calculations. 
All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. 
For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall
be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.

 

g) Notice
to the Holder.

 

i. Adjustment
to Conversion Price.  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company
shall promptly deliver to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii. Notice
to Allow Conversion by Holder.  If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form)
on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock,
(C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights or (D)  the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed
at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause to be delivered to the
Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Debenture Register, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable
record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose
of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders
of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined
or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become
effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange
their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery
thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  To the extent that
any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries,
the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.  The Holder
shall remain entitled to convert this Debenture during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective
date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

     13

     

    

 

h) Variable
Rate Transaction. So long as this Debenture remains outstanding or the holder of this Debenture holds any Conversion Shares, the
Company shall not directly or indirectly (i)(A) consummate any exchange of any Indebtedness and/or securities of the Company for
any other securities and/or Indebtedness of the Company, (B) cooperate with any person to effect any exchange of securities and/or
Indebtedness of the Company in connection with a proposed sale of such securities from an existing holder of such securities to
a third party), and/or (C) reduce and/or otherwise change the exercise price, conversion price and/or exchange price of any Common
Stock Equivalent of the Company and/or amend any non-convertible Indebtedness of the Company to make it convertible into securities
of the Company, (ii) issue or sell any of its securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or price that is
based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of, or quotations for, Common Stock, and/or (B) with a conversion, exercise or
exchange rate and/or price that is subject to being reset on one or more occasions either (1) at some future date after the initial
issuance of such securities or (2) upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the
business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, and/or (iii) enter into any agreement (including, without limitation,
an “equity line of credit” or an “at-the-market offering”) whereby the Company may sell securities at
a future determined price. Any transaction contemplated in this Section 5(h), shall be referred to as a “Variable Rate Transaction”.
The Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any Variable Rate Transaction (without
the need for the posting of any bond or similar item, which the Company hereby expressly and irrevocably waives the requirement
for), which remedy shall be in addition to any right of the Buyer to collect damages. A “Variable Rate Transaction”
shall also include mean, collectively, an “Equity Line of Credit” or similar agreement, or a Variable Priced Equity
Linked Instrument. For purposes hereof, “Equity Line of Credit” means any transaction involving a written agreement
between the Company and an investor or underwriter whereby the Company has the right to “put” its securities to the
investor or underwriter over an agreed period of time and at future determined price or price formula (other than customary “preemptive”
or “participation” rights or “weighted average” or “full-ratchet” anti-dilution provisions
or in connection with fixed-price rights offerings and similar transactions that are not Variable Priced Equity Linked Instruments),
and “Variable Priced Equity Linked Instruments” means: (A) any debt or equity securities which are convertible into,
exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (1) at any conversion,
exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common
Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security, or (2) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price
that is subject to being reset on more than one occasion at some future date at any time after the initial issuance of such debt
or equity security due to a change in the market price of the Company’s Common Stock since date of initial issuance (other
than customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights or “weighted average” or “full-ratchet”
anti-dilution provisions or in connection with fixed-price rights offerings and similar transactions), and (B) any amortizing
convertible security which amortizes prior to its maturity date, where the Company is required or has the option to (or any investor
in such transaction has the option to require the Company to) make such amortization payments in shares of Common Stock which
are valued at a price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common Stock at any time after
the initial issuance of such debt or equity security (whether or not such payments in stock are subject to certain equity conditions).

b) Remedies
Upon Event of Default. Subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the Exchange Cap, if any Event of Default occurs,
then the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts
owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder’s election by notice in writing to
Company, immediately due and payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock (subject to the Equity Conditions), at the Mandatory

     17

     

    

 

e) Governing
Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Debenture shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles
of conflict of laws thereof.  Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and
defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective
Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting
in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”).  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith
or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction
Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for
such proceeding.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in
any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence
of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Debenture and agrees that such service shall
constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit

for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred in the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
action or proceeding.

 

f) Waiver. 
Any waiver by the Company or the Holder of a breach of any provision of this Debenture shall not operate as or be construed to
be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Debenture.  The failure
of the Company or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Debenture on one or more occasions shall not
be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other
term of this Debenture on any other occasion.  Any waiver by the Company or the Holder must be in writing.

 

g) Severability. 
If any provision of this Debenture is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Debenture shall remain in effect,
and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons
and circumstances.  If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable
law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of
interest permitted under applicable law. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at
any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury
law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on
this Debenture as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants
or the performance of this Debenture, and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits
or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution
of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been
enacted.

h) Remedies,
Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief.  The remedies provided in this Debenture shall
be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Debenture and any of the other Transaction Documents
at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit
the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of
this Debenture.  The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other
than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like
(and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein,
be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of
its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.
The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition
to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any such breach or any such threatened breach, without the necessity
of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall provide all information and
documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with
the terms and conditions of this Debenture.

 

i) Next
Business Day.  Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such
payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

j) Headings. 
The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Debenture and shall not be deemed to
limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
