Exhibit 10.1

SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE

FIRST ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION

2002 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

     WHEREAS, First Acceptance Corporation (the “Company”) maintains the First Acceptance
Corporation 2002 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Article 9 of the Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) may amend the Plan; and

     WHEREAS, the Board desires to amend the Plan to revise the provisions in Article 11 of the
Plan regarding capital adjustments (or other similar event) to the shares granted thereuder.

     NOW, THEREFORE, effective as of the date hereof, the Board hereby amends the Plan as follows:

     1. Article 11 of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

ARTICLE 11

CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS

     In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of an
extraordinary cash dividend, dividend of Common Stock, other securities, or other property),
recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, rights offering, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, split-off, combination, subdivision, or exchange of
Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to
purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate
transaction or event affects the Common Stock, then the Committee shall, in an equitable and
proportionate manner, adjust any or all of the (i) the number of shares and type of Common
Stock (or the securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of Awards,
(ii) the number of shares and type of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject
to outstanding Awards, (iii) the number of shares and type of Common Stock (or other
securities or property) specified as the annual per-participant limitation under Section 6.6
of the Plan, (iv) the Option Price of each outstanding Award, (v) the amount, if any, the
Company pays for forfeited shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 6.5, and (vi)
the number of or SAR Price of shares of Common Stock then subject to outstanding SARs
previously granted and unexercised under the Plan to the end that the same proportion of the
Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in each instance shall remain
subject to exercise at the same aggregate SAR Price; provided
however, that the number of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to any Award shall always
be a whole number. In lieu of the foregoing, the Committee may make provision for a cash
payment to the holder of an outstanding Award, except as may otherwise be provided in an
applicable Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such adjustment or cash
payment shall be made or authorized to the extent that such adjustment or cash payment would
cause the Plan or any Stock Option to violate Code Section 422. Such adjustments shall be
made

 

 

in accordance with the rules of any securities exchange, stock market, or stock quotation
system to which the Company is subject. No adjustment or cash payment will be required
under this Article 11 for the issuance of Common Stock for such consideration, not less than
the par value of the Common Stock, as may be determined from time to time by the Board to be
fair consideration.

     Upon the occurrence of any such adjustment or cash payment, the Company shall provide
notice to each affected Participant of its computation of such adjustment or cash payment
which shall be conclusive and shall be binding upon each such Participant.Ex-10.2

 

Exhibit 10.2

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

     THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the
___ day of ___, ___ (the “Date of Grant”), between First Acceptance Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and ___ (the “Participant”). Capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the First Acceptance Corporation
2002 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).

     WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan, which permits the issuance of restricted shares of
the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”); and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Plan, the Board has granted an award of restricted stock to the
Participant as provided herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

     1. Grant of Restricted Stock.

          (a) The
Company hereby grants to the Participant an award (the “Award”) of ___ shares of
Common Stock of the Company (the “Stock” or the “Restricted Stock”) on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement and as otherwise provided in the Plan.

          (b) The Participant’s rights with respect to the Award shall remain forfeitable at all times
prior to the date on which the restrictions shall lapse in accordance with Section 3 hereof.

     2. Terms and Rights as a Stockholder.

          (a) Except as provided herein and subject to such other exceptions as may be determined by the
Committee in its discretion, the “Restriction Period” for Restricted Shares granted herein shall
expire on the date that is six (6) months after the Date of Grant (as may be adjusted in accordance
with Section 7 hereof.)

          (b) The Participant shall have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the Restricted
Stock, including the right to receive dividends and the right to vote such Stock, subject to the
following restrictions:

 

 

	 	(i)	 	the Participant shall not be entitled to
delivery of the stock certificate for any Stock until the expiration
of the Restriction Period as to such Stock;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	none of the Restricted Stock may be sold,
assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered
or disposed of during the Restriction Period as to such Stock; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	except as otherwise determined by the
Committee at or after the grant of the Award hereunder, all of the
Restricted Stock shall be forfeited, and all rights of the
Participant to such Stock shall terminate, without further obligation
on the part of the Company, unless the Participant remains in the
continuous service as a director of the Company for the entire
Restriction Period.

          Any Stock, any other securities of the Company and any other property (except for cash
dividends) distributed with respect to the Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same
restrictions, terms and conditions as such Restricted Stock.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restriction Period shall automatically terminate as to
all Restricted Stock awarded hereunder (as to which such Restriction Period has not previously
terminated) upon the occurrence of the following events:

	 	(i)	 	termination of the Participant’s service as
a director with the Company which results from the Participant’s
death, Retirement (as defined in the Plan) or Total and Permanent
Disability (as defined in the Plan); or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the occurrence of a Change in Control.

     3. Termination of Restrictions. At the end of the Restriction Period as to any
portion of the Restricted Stock, or at such earlier time as may be determined by the Committee, all
restrictions set forth in this Agreement or in the Plan relating to such portion of the Restricted
Stock shall lapse as to such portion of the Restricted Stock, and a stock certificate for the
appropriate number of shares of such Stock, free of the restrictions and restrictive stock legend,
shall be delivered to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may
be, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

     4. Delivery of Stock.

          (a) As of the date hereof, certificates representing the Restricted Stock shall be registered
in the name of the Participant and held by the Company or transferred to a custodian appointed by
the Company for the account of the Participant subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and
shall remain in the custody of the Company or such custodian until their delivery to the
Participant or Participant’s beneficiary or estate as set forth in Sections 4(b) and (c) hereof or
their reversion to the Company as set forth in Sections 2(b) and 4(d) hereof.

          (b) Certificates representing Restricted Stock in respect of which the Restriction Period has
lapsed pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable
following the date on which the restrictions on such Restricted Stock lapse.

          (c) Certificates representing Restricted Stock in respect of which the Restriction Period
lapsed upon the Participant’s death shall be delivered to the executors or administrators of the
Participant’s estate as soon as practicable following the receipt of proof of the Participant’s
death satisfactory to the Company.

          (d) By accepting the grant of Restricted Stock under this Agreement, Participant shall
irrevocably grant to the Company a power of attorney to transfer any shares forfeited to the
Company and agrees to execute any documents requested by the Company in connection with such
forfeiture and transfer. Participant hereby acknowledges that any breach by it of its obligations
under this Section 4(d) would cause substantial and irreparable damage to the Company, and that
money damages would be an inadequate remedy therefore, and, accordingly, acknowledges and agrees
that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance to remedy the breach of such obligations
(in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein).

          (e) The face of each certificate representing Restricted Stock shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form:

TRANSFER OF THIS STOCK IS RESTRICTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CONDITIONS
PRINTED ON THE REVERSE OF THIS CERTIFICATE.

          (f) The reverse of each certificate representing Restricted Stock shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form:

THE SHARES OF STOCK EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO
AND TRANSFERABLE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT CERTAIN FIRST
ACCEPTANCE

CORPORATION LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (THE “PLAN”), A COPY OF WHICH
IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY IN NASHVILLE,
TENNESSEE. NO TRANSFER OR PLEDGE OF THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY
MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND SUBJECT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF SAID PLAN. BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, ANY
HOLDER, TRANSFEREE OR PLEDGEE HEREOF AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF
THE PROVISIONS OF SAID PLAN.

     5. Effect of Lapse of Restrictions. To the extent that the Restriction Period
applicable to any Restricted Stock shall have lapsed, the Participant may receive, hold, sell or
otherwise dispose of such Stock free and clear of the restrictions imposed under the Plan and this
Agreement.

     6. No Right to Continued Service. This Agreement shall not be construed as giving
Participant the right to be retained as a director of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate.

     7. Adjustments. The Committee shall make equitable and proportionate adjustments in
the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, this Award in recognition of unusual or
nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Article 11 of the Plan)
affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or
any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting
principals in accordance with the Plan.

     8. Amendment to Award. Subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9 of the
Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter,
suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, the Award, prospectively or retroactively; provided that
any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination
that would adversely affect the rights of the Participant or any holder or beneficiary of the Award
shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the Participant, holder or beneficiary
affected.

     9. Withholding of Taxes. If the Participant makes an election under section 83(b) of
the Code with respect to the Award, the Award made pursuant to this Agreement shall be conditioned
upon the prompt payment to the Company of any applicable withholding obligations or withholding
taxes by the Participant (“Withholding Taxes”). Failure by the Participant to pay such Withholding
Taxes will render this Agreement and the Award granted hereunder null and void ab initio and the
Restricted Stock granted hereunder will be immediately cancelled. If the Participant does not make
an election under section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the Award, upon the lapse of the

-4-

 

Restriction Period with respect to any portion of Restricted Stock (or property distributed
with respect thereto), the Company shall satisfy the required Withholding Taxes as set forth by
Internal Revenue Service guidelines for the employer’s minimum statutory withholding with respect
to Participant and issue vested shares to the Participant without Restriction.

     10. Plan Governs. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan
and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof. The terms of this Agreement are
governed by the terms of the Plan, and in the case of any inconsistency between the terms of this
Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

     11. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is, or becomes, or is deemed to
be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or the Award, or
would disqualify the Plan or Award under any laws deemed applicable by the Committee, such
provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot
be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering
the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction,
Person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and Award shall remain in full force and effect.

     12. Notices. All notices required to be given under this Grant shall be deemed to be
received if delivered or mailed as provided for herein, to the parties at the following addresses,
