Re: Terms of Continued Employment

Dear Bob:

Reference is made to the Executive Employment Agreement, as amended (the “Agreement”) entered into
as of October 18, 2004 between you and Penn Independent Corporation (the “Company”). This letter
further amends the Agreement, effective as of the date hereof, and is intended to be legally
binding:

1. You will be employed by the Company as Executive Chairman of the Company until January 31, 2006
(the “Retirement Date”) (the period beginning on the date hereof until the Retirement Date, the
“Transition Period”) and you will keep your current office until the Retirement Date. You shall
report to the Chairman of United America Indemnity, Ltd. (“UAI”), chair the Board of Directors of
the Company (the “Board”), provide guidance to the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer and
President and otherwise assist in the transition of leadership of the Company. In addition, you
shall perform such other duties for the Company and its subsidiaries as are consistent with your
senior executive role, as reasonably directed by such Chairman and the Boards of Directors of UAI
and the Company. During the Transition Period, your need to travel for business purposes will not
exceed your historical rate of business travel. From time to time following the Transition Period,
the Company or its affiliates may contact you with respect to matters in which you were involved
while employed by the Company. You agree to provide reasonable assistance (e.g., answering
questions via telephone) with respect to such matters, provided that such assistance does not
unduly interfere with your other professional or personal pursuits.

2. You will continue to be paid at your current base salary rate through December 2005. Effective
January 1, 2006, your salary will be increased at the rate of the increase of the Consumer Price
Index Philadelphia, PA area for the twelve-month period that is then most recently ended and for
which final data is then available (the “2006 Salary”).

3. While employed by the Company, you will remain eligible for an annual bonus only with respect to
2005 pursuant to Section 2(B) of the Agreement. Such bonus will be determined in accordance with
the terms of the Penn Independent Corporation 2005 Key Employee Incentive Bonus Plan and
administered and paid pursuant to the 2005 United America Indemnity, Ltd. Annual Incentive Awards
Program, provided that the Company agrees that such bonus shall not be reduced as a result of the
exercise of negative discretion by the Board or any of its committees, except that such reduction
may take place if you are terminated pursuant to Section 17(a)(iii)(2) of the Agreement.

4. You will continue to be eligible until the Retirement Date for the benefits described in
Sections 2(C), 2(F) (for 2005 only), 5, 6, 9 and 19 of the Agreement. You hereby acknowledge your
receipt of the 2004 Bonus (as defined in the Agreement) and agree that you will not be eligible for
an annual bonus with respect to 2006. In addition, Section 19 of the Agreement is modified so that
with regard to any claim, suit or action by reason of your being, or having been, an officer,
employee or director of the Company, UAI and/or their affiliates, as applicable, the Company and
UAI will indemnify you to the maximum extent provided under each companies’ respective charters and
by-laws and applicable law, and will cause you to be covered by each company’s Directors & Officers
and General Liability policies, both during your service and thereafter (with respect to the period
during which you were an officer, employee or director), to the same extent as individuals then in
service to the applicable company.

5. The Company will pay you an integration bonus of $125,000 in respect of your efforts following
the Company’s acquisition by UAI to integrate the Company’s operations with those of UAI. Such
amount will be paid on the Company’s first payroll date in 2006, subject to applicable withholding
and taxes, and such payment shall be in full satisfaction of any obligation under Section 2.H of
the Agreement.

6. The Company will pay you a retirement bonus in an amount equal to your 2006 Salary. Fifty-eight
percent of that amount will be paid in a lump sum six months following the Retirement Date; the
remaining forty-two percent of that amount will be paid in five equal monthly installments
commencing seven months following the Retirement Date; provided, however, that such payments (or
any remaining portion thereof) will be accelerated and paid in a single lump sum upon the
occurrence of either (i) your death, or (ii) a change in control, a change in effective control or
a change in ownership of the assets of, in each case, either the Company or UAI (all as determined
in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and related guidance
(“Section 409A”)). In addition, you shall receive post-termination benefits pursuant to Sections
17(c) and 18 of the Agreement. The cash amounts described in Section 17(c)(i) of the Agreement
will be paid on the earliest to occur of (x) six months following the Retirement Date, (y) your
death, or (z) a change in control, a change in effective control or a change in ownership of the
assets of, in each case, either the Company or UAI (again, in each case as determined in accordance
with Section 409A).

7. Notwithstanding the terms of any option agreements to which you may be a party, you may exercise
any options to purchase shares in UAI (“Options”) in which you are vested as of the cessation of
your employment until the later of (i) December 31, 2006, or (ii) the date that such options would
have expired in the absence of this paragraph. Your unvested Options shall expire upon cessation
of your employment.

8. You hereby waive your right to terminate the Agreement in accordance with Sections 17(a)(iv)(2)
or 17(a)(iv)(3) of the Agreement.

9. You and the Company hereby agree to the release attached hereto as Annex A.

10. The parties’ desire to provide for your retirement and an orderly transition of leadership
following your retirement is unrelated to the Company’s acquisition by UAI. Accordingly, the
parties believe that (a) the arrangement contemplated by this letter does not implicate Sections
280G and 4999 of the Code (the “Sections”) in any manner, and (b) will complete their respective
tax reports accordingly. Nevertheless, should the IRS assess excise taxes pursuant to the
Sections, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify you for any excise taxes imposed pursuant to the
Sections, as well as for any interest or penalties arising from late payment of such amounts and
for any additional income, payroll, excise or other taxes that may be imposed with respect to such
indemnity payments (but not with respect to income or payroll taxes due on amounts payable other
than in accordance with this paragraph).

11. The Company agrees to reimburse you for the reasonable legal fees you incur in negotiating the
subject matter of this letter, subject to a maximum of $5,000.

12. Section 14 of the Agreement is revised to provide that, if you prevail on a claim brought to
enforce the Company’s obligations under this letter, in addition to any other relief awarded to
you, you will be entitled to reasonable costs and attorneys fees incurred by you in the course of
bringing such claim.

13. The foregoing is contingent on your continued compliance with your obligations under the
Agreement, including without limitation Sections 7 and 8 thereof. Nothing herein shall waive the
Company’s ability to exercise any rights it may have pursuant to Section 17(a)(iii)(2), i.e., its
ability to terminate you for certain reasons constituting Cause and, in turn, terminate any payment
obligations it may otherwise have pursuant to this letter or the Agreement. However, the Company
acknowledges that (i) it has no other basis to, and that it will not for any other reason,
terminate your employment before the Retirement Date or its payment obligations hereunder and (ii)
it represents and warrants that as of the date hereof that it is not aware of any circumstances
giving rise to grounds for such a Cause termination. You agree that Section 4 of the Agreement
shall no longer have any force or effect.

14. The parties have attempted in good faith to structure this arrangement to comply with or be
exempt from Section 409A. Nevertheless, the Company agrees to cooperate to further amend the
Agreement to the extent reasonably necessary or desirable to comply with Section 409A in light of
further guidance, legislation or new understandings or interpretations of that law.

15. The Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to any matters not addressed
herein. To the extent that this letter conflicts with any of the terms of the Agreement, this
letter shall govern, and this letter shall supersede all prior conversations, discussions and
arrangements between the parties hereto regarding the subject matter herein.

16. The effectiveness of this letter is subject to your non-revocation of the release in Annex A
prior to the end of the Revocation Period (as defined in Annex A).

17. This letter may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto on any number of separate
counterparts and all such counterparts shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument. Each
party hereto confirms that any facsimile copy of such party’s executed counterpart of the Agreement
(or its signature page thereof) shall be deemed to be an executed original thereof.

18. The Company and UAI each represent and warrant that the signatories hereto have been duly
authorized to enter into this letter on behalf of their respective companies and that this letter,
in conjunction with the Agreement, will therefore constitute a valid and binding obligation of UAI
and the Company, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms.

Please indicate your agreement to the foregoing by signing below.

Sincerely,

/s/ Richard S. March
