	12.	Effect of Waiver. The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Agreement will in no manner affect the right to enforce the same. The waiver by any party of any
breach of any provision of this Agreement will not be construed to be a waiver by any such party of any succeeding breach of that provision or a waiver by such party of any breach of any other provision. 

 

	13.	Construction. The parties hereto and their respective legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Agreement; therefore, this Agreement shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any of the
parties hereto, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

	2.	Acknowledgements. 

 a. The Executive acknowledges and agrees with the representations of
the Company that Confidential Information and IP is proprietary and valuable to the Company, and that any disclosure or unauthorized use thereof may cause irreparable harm and loss to the Company. It is further acknowledged by the Executive that if
the general public or competitors (now existing or to be created in the future) learn of these ongoing discussions and negotiations with potential investors and of the formation of the Company, the Insurance Entity and other Subsidiaries as a result
of the Executive’s failure to comply hereunder, irreparable harm and substantial financial loss may occur to the Company’s, the Insurance Entity or other Subsidiary’s viability and future revenues. The Executive acknowledges and
agrees that the knowledge and experience the Executive shall acquire by virtue of assisting with the formation of the Insurance Entity and application to the FOIR for approval of the Insurance Entity to write homeowner’s insurance coverage in
the State of Florida during the Employment Term and by virtue of employment by the Company during the Employment Term is of a special, unique and extraordinary character and that such position allows the Executive access to Confidential Information
and Intellectual Property.  
 b. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that (a) the nature and periods of restrictions imposed
by the covenants contained in this Agreement are fair, reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve for the Company and its Subsidiaries their viability and future revenues; (b) the Company or its Subsidiaries would sustain great and
irreparable loss and damage if the Executive were to breach any of such covenants set forth herein; (c) the Company and its Subsidiaries intend to conduct business actively in the entire territory that is the subject of this Agreement (as
defined below) and beyond; and (d) the covenants herein set forth are

made as an inducement to and have been relied upon by the Company in entering into this Agreement. The Executive acknowledges and agrees this Agreement is binding on the Executive’s heirs,
executors, successors, administrators, representatives and agents.

by the use of trade secret information, whether or not during working hours and regardless of location; 

  

	 	v.	To use best efforts to safeguard the Confidential Information and protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss, misappropriation and theft;

attempt to employ, divert away an employee, or enter into any contractual arrangement with any employee or former employee, of the Company or its Subsidiaries, unless such employee or former employee has not been employed by the Company or its

the Executive and the Executive’s respective heirs, executors, successors, administrators, representatives and agents. 

  

	4.	Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Company from consolidating or merging into or with, or transferring all or substantially all of its assets to, another
corporation which assumes this Agreement, and all obligations of the Company hereunder, in writing. Upon such consolidation, merger, or transfer of assets and assumption, the term “the Company” as used herein, shall mean such other
corporation and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 6 hereof. 

  

	5.	Binding Effect. Except as herein otherwise provided, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the parties hereto, their personal representatives, successors, heirs and assigns. The

	12.	Effect of Waiver. The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Agreement will in no manner affect the right to enforce the same. The waiver by any party of any
breach of any provision of this Agreement will not be construed to be a waiver by any such party of any succeeding breach of that provision or a waiver by such party of any breach of any other provision. 

 

	13.	Construction. The parties hereto and their respective legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Agreement; therefore, this Agreement shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any of the
