For purposes of this Section 5.2, the party disclosing Confidential Information will be referred to as the "Disclosing Party" and the party receiving Confidential Information will be referred to as the "Receiving Party." 
(b)    The Parties shall each take appropriate steps to ensure that all Confidential Information is kept confidential by the respective Parties and each of their directors, officers, 

-11-    

principals, shareholders, affiliates, employees, agents and advisors, and that such Confidential Information will not be divulged, disclosed or communicated to any person, firm, association, corporation or other entity, during or subsequent to the Term of this Agreement, provided, however, that (a) disclosure of any Confidential Information to which the Disclosing Party has consented in writing may be made; (b) any Confidential Information may be disclosed to regulatory authorities or other appropriate parties pursuant to Laws or legal process after notice is given to the Disclosing Party to allow the Disclosing Party to contest or limit the scope of Confidential Information to be disclosed;  (c) Confidential Information may also be disclosed to auditors of any Receiving Party, Tower Company reinsurers or retrocessionaires, to the extent reasonably appropriate; and (d) Confidential Information may also be disclosed by a Receiving Party to its Affiliates, provided the Receiving Party directs such Affiliates to treat such Confidential Information confidentially and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c)    In the event of a breach of this Section 5.2 relating to Confidential Information, the affected Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach, which shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for such breach, but shall be in addition to all the remedies available at law or equity.
(d)    The term "Confidential Information" as used in this Agreement does not include information which (i) was known to the Receiving Party prior to disclosure of such information by the Disclosing Party, (ii) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of the disclosure by or on behalf of the Receiving Party; (iii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Receiving Party or its representatives, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or similar obligation to, the Disclosing Party or (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without the use of such information.
(e)    National General may from time to time provide each Tower Company with access to certain proprietary systems developed by National General, including without limitation, any source code, object code, executable code, data, databases, and related documentation in respect thereof (collectively, the "National General IP"). Each Tower Company acknowledges and agrees that the National General IP, including without limitation program code, specifications, logic, design, ideas, techniques, know-how and procedures contained therein and all related documentation are confidential intellectual property exclusively owned by National General.  This Agreement does not grant and shall not be construed to grant any license or right to use the National General IP except as expressly authorized in writing by National General.  Each Tower Company and its employees shall not disclose National General IP or any part thereof to any third party, including affiliates, except as expressly authorized by National General.  Each Tower Company shall not (a) use or access the National General IP for any purpose other than performing its duties under this 

-12-    

Agreement; or (b) modify, enhance, reverse engineer, delink, disassemble or decompile any of the National General IP or part thereof. 
Section 5.3    Covenant Not to Compete, Solicit or Hire.  
(a)    ACP and each of its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the Tower Companies) (collectively, the "ACP Parties") acknowledges and agrees that National General and its Affiliates would be irreparably damaged if any ACP Party were to provide services or to otherwise participate in the business of any Person competing with the Personal Lines Business in a similar business and that any such competition by an ACP Party would result in a significant loss of goodwill by National General in respect of the Personal Lines Business.  Each ACP Party further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 5.3 were a material inducement to National General to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents  and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and that National General and its Affiliates would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents as specifically negotiated by the parties hereto and thereto if any ACP Party breached the provisions of this Section 5.3.  Therefore, in further consideration of National General's performance of its obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, each of the ACP Parties agrees that during the period in which any parties have any obligations under any of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement) and the five-year period thereafter, it shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, either for itself, himself or herself or through any other Person, engage in, participate in, or permit such Person’s name to be used by any enterprise engaging in or participating in, the Personal Lines Business; provided, that the foregoing shall not restrict or prohibit the ACP Parties from engaging in reinsurance transactions in respect of the Personal Lines Business.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "participate" includes any direct or indirect interest in any enterprise, whether as a stockholder, member, partner, joint venturer, franchisor, franchisee, executive, consultant or otherwise (other than by ownership of less than two percent (2%) of the stock of a publicly held corporation) or rendering any direct or indirect service or assistance to any Person.  Each ACP Party agrees that this covenant is reasonably designed to protect National General’s substantial investment and is reasonable with respect to its duration, geographical area and scope.
(b)    For so long as any ACP Party has continuing obligations under Section 3.3(a) above, such ACP Party shall not (and shall cause its, his or her Subsidiaries not to) directly, or indirectly through another Person, (a) induce or attempt to induce (other than by a general solicitation advertisement, posting or similar job solicitation process) any employee, agent or producer of National General or its Affiliates engaged in the Personal Lines Business to leave the employ of National General or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between National General or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any such employee, except in accordance with Section 5.1, (b) hire (other than by a general solicitation advertisement, posting 

-13-    

or similar job solicitation process) any employee, agent or producer of National General or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates at any time during the six-month period immediately prior to the date on which such hiring would take place (it being conclusively presumed by the Parties so as to avoid disputes under this Section 5.3(b) that any such hiring (other than by a general solicitation advertisement, posting or similar job solicitation process) within such six-month period is in violation of clause (i) above), except in accordance with Section 5.1, or (c) call on, solicit or service any customer, agent, producer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Personal Lines Business in order to induce or attempt to induce such Person to cease doing or decrease their business with National General or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and National General or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including making any negative statements or communications about National General or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates).
(c)    If, at the time of enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 5.3, a court determines that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, then the Parties agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under the circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area.  The Parties further agree that such court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope or geographical area permitted by law.
(d)    If an ACP Party (the "Restricted Persons") breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Section 5.3 (the "Restrictive Covenants"), National General will have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to National General at law or in equity:
		
	(i)
	the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to National General and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to National General; and

		
	(ii)
	the right and remedy to require the Restricted Persons to account for and pay over to National General any profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by the Restricted Persons as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants.

Section 5.4    Commercially Reasonable Efforts.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions and other agreements set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate 

-14-    

with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The parties acknowledge and agree that any reference made to commercially reasonable efforts in this Agreement shall not include any obligation to commence or continue any contested arbitration or litigation other than the filing of a proof of claim or similar filing requirement necessary to preserve a claim against any insolvent or otherwise financially impaired debtor.
Section 5.5    Consents, Approvals and Filings.

In connection therewith, ACP and National General shall make and cause their respective Affiliates to make all legally required filings as promptly as practicable in order to facilitate prompt consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall provide and shall cause their respective Affiliates to provide such information and communications to Governmental Entities as such Governmental Entities may request.  The parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of all necessary permits, orders or other consents, approvals or authorizations of Governmental Entities and consents or waivers of all third parties necessary in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 5.6    Public Announcements.  Until the Transaction Closing Date, the parties hereto shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and joint approval of National General and ACP, except as may be required by Applicable Law, court process or the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system provided that, to the extent possible under the circumstances, the party making such disclosure consults with the other party, and considers in good faith the views of the other party, before doing so.
Section 5.7    Further Assurances.  ACP and National General agree, and ACP, prior to the Transaction Closing, and National General, after the Transaction Closing, agree to cause the Tower Companies and each of their Subsidiaries, to execute and deliver such other documents, certificates, agreements and other writings and to take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to consummate or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 10.4    Interpretation.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to a section, exhibit or schedule, such reference shall be to a section of, or an exhibit or schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedule will not be deemed an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself and solely by virtue of the inclusion of such information in the Disclosure Schedule, that such information is required to be listed in the Disclosure Schedule or that such items are material to the Tower Companies.  The specification of any dollar amount in the Disclosure Schedule is not intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth of such amount in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described therein is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Unless the Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedule is intended to imply that such item or matter, or 

-21-    

other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business (except as expressly provided herein), and no party shall use the fact of the setting forth or the inclusion of any such item or matter in any dispute or controversy among the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described in this Agreement or included in any Disclosure Schedule is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein).  The disclosure of an item in one section of the Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a particular covenant, representation or warranty will be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with respect to all other covenants, representations or warranties to the extent that the relevance of such item to such other covenants, representations or warranties is reasonably apparent on the face of such item, notwithstanding the presence or absence of an appropriate section of the Disclosure Schedule with respect to such other covenants, representations or warranties or an appropriate cross-reference thereto.  The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  Whenever the words "include", "includes" or "including" are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation."  Whenever the singular is used herein, the same shall include the plural, and whenever the plural is used herein, the same shall include the singular, where appropriate.
Section 10.5    Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.  National General has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions contemplated hereby and is capable of bearing the economic risks thereof.  Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies.
Section 10.6    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that State, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under any applicable conflict of laws principles, except to the extent the provisions of the laws of Bermuda are mandatorily applicable to the Merger.
Section 10.7    Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment that is not consented to shall be null and void.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 10.8    Dispute Resolution; Enforcement.
(a)    In the event of any dispute arising under this Agreement, prior to the commencement of litigation, a senior officer of National General and a senior officer of ACP shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute consistent with the terms of this Agreement.  If they are unable to resolve the dispute in this manner within a reasonable period of time, the parties may pursue judicial remedies with respect to such dispute.  This section shall not apply to any application to obtain emergency judicial intervention.

-22-    

(b)    All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except to the extent any such proceeding mandatorily must be brought in Bermuda) shall be heard and determined in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and any Federal appellate court therefrom (or, if United States federal jurisdiction is unavailable over a particular matter, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County) and the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding.  The consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 10.8(b) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of New York and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties hereto.  Each party hereto agrees that service of process upon such party in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if notice is given by overnight courier at the address set forth in Section 10.3 of this Agreement.  The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law; provided, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party's rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, a final trial court judgment.
Section 10.9    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION.

IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
Section 10.10    Severability; Amendment and Waiver.
(a)    Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any Applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if 

-23-

Exhibit 10.5

NGHC 2013 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AWARD AGREEMENT 

Your award by National General Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in (i) this Award Agreement, and (ii) the NGHC 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  Wherever a conflict may arise between the terms of this Award Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Plan, and have the meaning set forth in the Plan. 

	
			
	Award of RSUs 

	 
	You have been granted an award, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan, to receive               shares of the Company’s Stock at a future date assuming you satisfy all conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.  Each RSU represents the right to receive one Share of Company Stock (each such share hereinafter referred to as an “RSU Share.”)

	Grant Date
	 
	The effective date of this grant is   

	Vesting 
	 
	                of the RSUs shall vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and an additional                on the              following anniversaries of that date (each such date a “Vesting Date”); provided that from the Grant Date through the applicable Vesting Date, you have been continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliate thereof (or served as a non-employee member of the Company’s Board of Directors).  Any fractional shares will be carried forward to the next Vesting Date.

	Distribution Date
	 
	Subject to any overriding provisions in the Plan, you will receive a distribution of applicable RSU Shares within 30 days after the Vesting Date, except as follows:

(A)  If the Company reasonably anticipates that the delivery of any RSU Shares as scheduled would not be deductible by the Company on account of the limitations under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of  1986 (the “Code”), the Company may delay delivery of such RSU Shares until your first taxable year in which the Company reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that if the payment is made during such year, the payment would be deductible by the Company.

(B)  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that you are a “specified employee” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, the delivery of any RSU Shares shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) six months after your “separation from service” form the Company within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code; or (ii) your death, if such a delay is necessary to avoid the imposition upon you of additional tax and interest under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code.

1

	
			
	Unsecured Creditor
	 
	The RSUs create a contractual obligation on the part of the Company to distribute to you RSU Shares at the time provided for in this Award Agreement.  Neither you nor any other party claiming an interest under this Agreement shall have any interest whatsoever in any specific assets of the Company.  Your right to receive RSU Shares hereunder is that of an unsecured general creditor of Company.
  

	Termination of Employment 

	 
	If your Employment (as defined below) terminates for any reason, other than retirement, death, Disability or Cause, then any unvested RSUs you hold at your termination will be forfeited.

“Employment” means that you are currently (i) an employee of the Company, (ii) are a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, or (iii) are otherwise providing services to the Company.  You will not be considered to have terminated Employment hereunder for any purpose unless you have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code.

	Termination for  
Cause 
	 
	If your Employment is terminated for Cause (as defined below), then you shall immediately forfeit all rights to any unvested RSUs and such RSUs shall expire immediately upon your termination.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the employment agreement between you and the Company (or an Affiliate), provided that if there is no employment agreement, “Cause” shall mean: 

(a) willful misconduct or gross negligence; 

(b) conviction of a felony or conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude; 

(c) any act constituting fraud or the misappropriation or embezzlement of money or other property of the Company; and 

(d) any willful act or course of conduct constituting an abuse of office or authority which has a material adverse impact on the Company’s reputation or financial condition.

	Retirement
	 
	If your Employment has been in effect for at least five years and your Employment terminates due to your: (i) retirement on or after your sixty-fifth birthday; or (ii) retirement on or after your fifty-fifth birthday with the consent of the Company, your RSUs will automatically vest as to the number of RSUs that would have vested had you remained in Employment for the 12-month period immediately following your retirement.  Any unvested RSUs you hold at your retirement will be forfeited. 

	Death 
	 
	If your Employment terminates because of your death, your RSUs will automatically vest as to the number of RSUs that would have vested had you remained in Employment for the 12-month period immediately following your death.  Any unvested RSUs held by you at the time of your death will be forfeited.

2

	
			
	Disability 
	 
	If your Employment terminates because of your Disability (defined below), your RSUs will automatically vest as to the number of RSUs that would have vested had you remained in Employment for the 12 month period immediately following your Disability.  Any unvested RSUs held by you at your termination will be forfeited.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean the award holder is unable to perform the duties of their service (or other services) (i) for a period of 90 consecutive days, or (ii) any 120 days during any consecutive 12 month period.

	Termination without Cause within 12 Months of Change in Control

	 
	Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if your Employment with the Company (or any affiliate) is terminated by the Company without Cause within 12 months following the effective date of a “Change in Control”, the Board of Directors may accelerate the vesting of all or any portion of your unvested RSUs.

	Recapture Rights
	 
	In the event that you violate any of your obligations pursuant to the Confidentiality, Non-Competition, or Non-Solicitation provisions of this Agreement, you agree to return, within five days of receipt of written demand from the Company, any gains you realize from the vesting of all or any RSUs within the 6 months immediately preceding such violation, and any unvested RSUs shall be immediately forfeited.  This provision shall be construed in accordance with Section 10 of the Plan, including, without limitation, Section 10(c).

	Confidentiality
	 
	During your Employment, you will have access to confidential or proprietary data or information of the Company (and its affiliates) and its operations.  You agree that you will not at any time divulge or communicate the Confidential Information (defined below) to any person, nor shall you direct any employee to divulge or communicate to any person (other than to a person bound by confidentiality obligations similar to those contained herein and other than as necessary in performing your duties hereunder), or use to the detriment of the Company (or any of its affiliates) or for the benefit of any other person, any Confidential Information.  This restriction shall survive your Employment hereunder, whether by the normal expiration thereof or otherwise.

The term “Confidential Information” shall mean all information, whether or not reduced to written or recorded form, that is related to the Company and that is not generally known or accessible to members of the public and/or competitors of the Company nor intended for general dissemination, whether furnished by the Company or compiled by the employee, including, without limitation, relating to the Company’s (or any affiliate’s) financial performance, customers, existing or proposed future projects, prospects, or business strategies, personnel information, financial information, customer lists, supplier lists, trade secrets, information regarding operations, systems, services, know‐how, computer and any other processed or collated data, computer programs, pricing, marketing and advertising data.  

You understand the Company intends to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information notwithstanding that employees of the Company may have free access to the information for the purpose of performing their duties with the Company, and notwithstanding that employees not expressly bound by agreements similar to this agreement may have access to such information for job purposes. You acknowledge that Confidential Information need not be marked as such to preserve the confidential nature of the information.

3

	
			
	Non-Competition
	 
	You acknowledge that (a) in the course of your Employment with the Company and its affiliates, you have, and will continue to, become familiar with the Company’s and its affiliates’ trade secrets, methods of doing business, business plans and other valuable confidential and proprietary information concerning the Company, its affiliates, their customers and business partners and that your services have been and will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company and its affiliates.  In consideration thereof and of this Award, during your Employment with the Company or an affiliate and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, you shall not, without the Company’s prior written approval, become engaged, directly or indirectly, as a director, officer, employee or 5% or more stockholder or equity interest owner in, partner in, or consultant to, any business that is directly competitive with the business of the Company (or any affiliate) in any area or region where the Company (or any affiliate) conducts business (“Competition”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be deemed to be in Competition with the Company if you provide evidence satisfactory to the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, that you: (i) work in a separate division, department or unit that does not compete with the business of the Company (or any affiliate); and (ii) will not have contact with the division, department or unit that does compete with the business of the Company (or any affiliate).  If you received this Award as a non-employee member of the Company’s Board of Directors, this provision will not apply to you unless your Employment is terminated for Cause (as defined above).

4

	
			
	Non-Solicitation
	 
	During Employment and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, you shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, on your own behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation or business entity: (a) induce or attempt to induce any agent, broker, affinity group or policyholder of the Company (or any affiliate), or any prior agent, affinity group or policyholder that was an agent, affinity group or policyholder within twelve (12) months of such contact, to withdraw, decrease or cancel its business with the Company (or any affiliate) or otherwise terminate any written or oral agreement or understanding or other relationship with the Company (or any affiliate); (b) solicit or attempt to solicit, service or attempt to service, or for the purpose of obtaining the business of any agent, broker, affinity group or policyholder of the Company (or any affiliate), or any prior agent, affinity group or policyholder that was an agent, broker, affinity group or policyholder within twelve (12) months of such contact, to the extent the business solicited is similar to, or competitive with, the business of the Company (or any affiliate), engage in discussions or other communications with (regardless of who initiates such discussions or communications) any person, firm or entity that was an actual or prospective agent, broker, affinity group or policyholder of the Company during any part of the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding termination of Employment if you participated, directly or indirectly, in the solicitation or servicing of that agent, broker, affinity group or policyholder or prospective agent, broker, affinity group or policyholder, or supervised or managed those who did, during your Employment with the Company at any time during such twelve (12) month period immediately preceding your termination of Employment; (c) solicit or attempt to solicit, hire or attempt to hire, or communicate with, any person who is an employee, individual consultant or independent contractor of the Company (or any affiliate), or any prior employee, individual consultant or independent contractor that was an employee, consultant or independent contractor within twelve (12) months of such contact, with the purpose or intent of attracting such person from the employ of the Company (or any affiliate); or (d) induce or attempt to induce any person who is an employee, individual consultant or independent contractor of the Company (or any affiliate) to terminate or limit his or her Employment or other relationship with the Company (or any affiliate), or any prior employee, individual consultant or independent contractor that was an employee, individual consultant or independent contractor within twelve (12) months of such contact.

	Withholding Taxes 
	 
	In the event that the Company determines that any federal, state, local or foreign tax or withholding payment is required relating to the exercise or sale of shares arising from this grant, the Company shall have the right to require such payments from you, or withhold such minimum statutory amounts from other payments due to you from the Company. Payment of your withholding or other taxes may be made via one of the forms set forth above, or as otherwise determined by the Administrator.

	Transfer of RSUS 
	 
	The RSUs covered by this Award Agreement are non-transferable by you.  Any attempt by you to transfer these RSUs will result in the RSUs becoming invalid, except upon your death by the laws of descent and distribution.

	No Employment Rights 
	 
	Neither your RSUs nor this Agreement give you the right to be retained by the Company in any capacity and your Employment may be terminated at any time and for any reason.

5

	
			
	Shareholder Rights 
	 
	You have no rights as a shareholder of the Company unless and until RSU Shares have been issued (or an appropriate book entry has been made).  Except as described in the Plan, no adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before your RSU Shares are issued (or an appropriate book entry has been made). 

	Applicable Law 

Data Privacy
