(6) months. The balance of the payment(s) will continue in monthly installments thereafter through completion of the Non-Interference Period (with each monthly installment being paid in the gross sum of the full payment(s) divided by 12) as may

to Section 5), such payment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5, provided that the requirements set forth in Section 6 have been satisfied by Executive.

 6. Release. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, as a condition
precedent to receiving any payment set forth in Section 5(a)(i) or 5(b)(ii) of this Agreement, Executive agrees to execute (and not revoke) a severance and release agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”). If
Executive fails to execute and deliver the Release, or revokes the Release, Executive agrees that he shall not be entitled to receive the above-stated severance payments. For purposes of this Agreement, the Release shall be considered to have been
executed by Executive if it is signed by his legal representative in the case of legal incompetence or on behalf of Executive’s estate in the case of his death. No payments shall be made under Section 5(a)(i) or 5(b)(ii)until the period to
revoke the release has terminated. 
 7. Nondisclosure.  
 (a) The Company shall, immediately after executing this Agreement, provide Executive with some or all of the Company’s various trade
secrets and confidential or proprietary information, including information he has not received before, consisting of, but not limited to, all information: that is non-public or proprietary to the Company, or its affiliates including, but not limited
to, information concerning its business activities including, but not limited to, the present marketing and administration of certain insurance business and processes, including but not limited to any and all information concerning non-standard
automobile insurance business, financial information, administrative procedures, pricing methods and policies, client lists and information, business and marketing strategies, claims and underwriting procedures and guidelines, claims and
underwriting files, utilization review and manuals, data format, data gathering retrieval systems and methods, ideas about current and future services, and corporate governance, regulatory and legal matters. Confidential Information shall not
include: (i) information that Executive may furnish to third parties regarding his obligations under Sections 7 and 8; (ii) information that becomes generally available to the public by means other than Executive’s breach of
Section 7 (for example, not as a result of Executive’s unauthorized release of marketing materials), or (iii) information that Executive is required by law, regulation, court order or discovery demand to disclose; provided, however,
that in the case of clause (iii), Executive gives the Company reasonable notice prior to the disclosure of the Confidential Information and the reasons and circumstances surrounding such disclosure to provide the Company an opportunity to seek a
protective order or other appropriate request for confidential treatment of the applicable Confidential Information. 
 (b)
Executive agrees that all Confidential Information, whether prepared by Executive or otherwise coming into his possession, shall remain the exclusive property of the Company during Executive’s employment with the Company and thereafter.
Executive further agrees that he shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, use or disclose to any third party any of the Confidential Information described herein, directly or indirectly, either during Executive’s employment
with the Company or at any time following the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, except as Executive may be required by the lawful order of a court or agency of competent jurisdiction (“Court Order”). If such
Court Order is issued, Executive shall inform the Company a reasonable time prior to compliance. 
 (c) Upon termination of
this Agreement, Executive agrees that all Confidential Information and other files, documents, materials, records, notebooks, customer lists, business proposals, contracts, agreements and other repositories containing information concerning the
Company or the business of the Company (including all copies thereof) in Executive’s possession, custody or control, whether prepared by Executive or others, shall remain with or be returned to the Company promptly (within seventy-two
(72) hours) after the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.

 8. Noncompete, Nonsolicitation, and Non-Disparagement.  
 (a) Business Relationships and Goodwill. Executive acknowledges and agrees that, as an employee and representative of the Company,
Executive will be given Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges and agrees that this creates a special relationship of trust and confidence between the Company, Executive and the Company’s current and prospective customers, limited
partners, and investors. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that there is a high risk and opportunity for any person given such responsibility and Confidential Information to misappropriate the relationship and goodwill existing between the
Company and the Company’s current and prospective customers, limited partners, and investors. Executive therefore acknowledges and agrees that it is fair and reasonable for the Company to take steps to protect itself from the risk of such
misappropriation. Consequently, Executive agrees to the following noncompetition and nonsolicitation covenants. 
 (b)
Scope of Noncompetition Obligation.  
 (i) Executive acknowledges and agrees that if he receives severance payments
pursuant to Section 5(a)(i) or 5(b)(ii) above, the one (1) year period following the termination or expiration of this Agreement will constitute the non-compete, non-solicit and nondivert period (the “Non-Interference Period”).
During his employment and during the Noninterference Period, Executive will not engage in duties or provide business services to a Competitor which are substantially similar to those Executive provided to the Company under this Agreement, in any
capacity, upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement in states where the Company is doing business or has expended resources in pursuit of, or in preparation to do, business (“Prohibited Market”); provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not apply in the event that the Term of this Agreement expires by reason of the Company’s election not to renew or extend this Agreement. The term “Competitor” means any: (i) insurance company providing
non-standard automobile insurance coverage of any type or class as a primary line of business (in excess of fifteen percent (15%) of aggregate revenues), (ii) underwriting agency (or managing general agency) that produces and administers
non-standard automobile insurance as a primary line of business, and (iii) retail agency that sells non-standard automobile insurance policies as a primary line of business; provided, however, that a subsidiary or affiliate of a competitor
shall not be deemed to be a Competitor unless the subsidiary or affiliate itself meets the definition of “Competitor.” 
 (ii) Executive agrees that he shall not at any time during his employment divert away or attempt to divert away any business from the Company to another company, business, or individual. Additionally, Executive shall not, during the
Non-Interference Period, Solicit, divert away or attempt to divert away business from any Company Customer, either directly or indirectly. “Company Customer” is defined as any then-current customer that Executive contacted, Solicited,
serviced, or had accessed Confidential Information about. “Solicit” is defined as soliciting, inducing, attempting to induce, or assisting any other person, firm, entity, business or organization, whether direct or indirect, in any such
solicitation, inducement or attempted inducement, in all cases regardless of whether the initial contact was by Executive, the Company Customer, or any other person, firm, entity, business, or organization. 
 (iii) Executive further agrees that during the Non-Interference Period, he will not directly or indirectly: (a) Solicit, entice,
persuade or induce any employee, agent or representative of the Company, who was an employee, agent or representative of the Company upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, and whose employment has not been terminated by the Company,
to terminate such person’s relationship with the Company or to become employed by any business or person other than the Company; (b) approach any such person for any of the foregoing purposes; (c) authorize, Solicit or assist in the
taking of such actions by any third party; or (d) take actions to hire any such person. 
 (iv) Executive further agrees
that, during the Non-Interference Period, he shall not own, manage, operate, control, invest or acquire an interest in, or otherwise similarly engage or participate in (whether as a proprietor, owner, member, partner, stockholder, director, officer,
employee, consultant, joint venturer, investor, sales representative or other participant) any Competitor or business or entity that owns or operates, or controls another business or entity that owns or operates a Competitor located in the
Prohibited Market; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions shall not prohibit the Employee from: (a) being a passive investor in any publicly traded entity, as long as any such investment does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the
outstanding equity 

  

 7 of 14 

 
securities of such entity; (b) continuing as a non controlling investor in any entity which subsequent to the date of the Executive’s investment
therein becomes the owner or operator of, or acquires control of another business or entity that owns or operates, a Competitor in a Prohibited Market (provided that if any entity in which the Executive is a non controlling investor acquires a
non-standard automobile insurance in a Prohibited Market, the Executive shall limit his participation in such entity to a passive role); or (c) investing in or becoming employed by any entity whose ownership, operation or control of a
Competitor is not material relative to its principal business activities provided Executive’s participation in such a Competitor is not a material part of Executive’s duties. 
 (v) If Executive requests, the Company will notify Executive in writing within fourteen (14) business days of the request whether any
action proposed to be taken by Executive would be viewed by the Company in good faith to be inconsistent with Executive’s obligations in this Section 8(b). If the Company informs Executive that it would not consider such action to be a
violation of any of Executive’s obligations in this Section 8(b), then the Company shall have forever waived any claim that such action taken by Executive violates any of Executive’s obligations in this Section 8(b). 

(vi) Nothing in this Section 8(b) shall be interpreted to restrict Executive from engaging in the private practice of law.

 (c) Non-Disparagement. During the term of Executive’s employment with the Company and following the termination
or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, Executive shall not disparage, discredit or otherwise criticize, directly or indirectly, verbally or in writing, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective businesses, products,
practices, trademarks, employees, officers, or directors. Further, during the term of Executive’s employment with the Company and following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the officers of the Company shall not disparage,
discredit or otherwise criticize Executive, directly or indirectly, verbally or in writing, including issuing a public statement. 
 (d) Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges that the compensation and Confidential Information provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, give rise to the Company’s interest in restraining Executive from competing with
the Company, that the noncompetition and nonsolicitation covenants are designed to enforce such consideration and that any limitations as to time, geographic scope and scope of activity to be restrained as defined herein are reasonable and do not
impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interest of the Company. 
 (e)
Survival of Covenants. Sections 7 and 8 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason. Executive agrees not to challenge the enforceability or the scope of Sections 7 and 8, but may, in an action brought by the
Company against Executive under Section 7 or 8, challenge the Company’s interpretation of the plain language of Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement. Executive further agrees to notify all future persons, businesses, or other entities, with
which he becomes affiliated or employed by, of the restrictions set forth in Sections 7 and 8, prior to the commencement of any such affiliation or employment. 
 9. Severability and Reformation. If anyone or more of the terms, provisions, covenants or restrictions of this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions shall remain in full force and effect, and the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions shall be deemed severable. Moreover, if anyone or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be reformed by limiting and reducing it to the minimum extent necessary, so as to be enforceable to
the extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear. 
 10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire
agreement between the parties hereto and fully supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings, written or oral, between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof.

Opportunities. Executive acknowledges that during the course of Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive may be offered or become aware of business or investment opportunities in which the Company mayor might have an interest (a
“Corporate Opportunity”) and that Executive has a duty to advise the Company of any such Corporate Opportunities before acting upon them. Accordingly, Executive agrees: (a) that Executive will disclose to the Board any Corporate
Opportunity offered to Executive or of which Executive becomes aware, and (b) that Executive will not act upon any Corporate Opportunity for Executive’s own benefit or for the benefit of any person other than the Company without first
obtaining consent or approval of the Board (whose consent or approval may be granted or denied solely at the discretion of the Board; provided, that Executive, 

  

 10 of 14 

 
at Executive’s election, may act upon any such Corporate Opportunity for Executive’s benefit or the benefit of any other person if the Board has
not caused Company to act upon any such Corporate Opportunity within sixty (60) days after disclosure of such Corporate Opportunity to the Company by Executive. 
 21. Right to Insure. Company shall have the right to secure, in its own name or otherwise, and at its own expense, life, health, accident or other insurance covering Executive, and Executive shall have no
right, title or interest in and to such insurance. Executive shall assist Company in procuring such insurance by submitting to reasonable examinations and by signing such applications and other instruments as may be reasonably required by the
insurance carriers to which application is made for any such insurance. 
 22. Assistance in Litigation. Executive shall reasonably
cooperate with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or that may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company that relate to events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was
employed by the Company. Executive’s cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the
Company at mutually convenient times. Executive also shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with any investigation or review by any federal, state, or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to
events or occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by the Company. The Company will pay Executive Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000) per eight-hour day for Executive’s cooperation pursuant to this Section 22 and shall reimburse
Executive for any expenses incurred with respect to such assistance. 
 23. Inconsistent Obligations. Executive represents and
warrants that to his knowledge he has no obligations, legal, in contract, or otherwise, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or with his undertaking employment with the Company to perform the duties described herein. Executive will not
disclose to the Company, or use, or induce the Company to use, any confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information of others. Executive represents and warrants that to his knowledge he has returned all property and confidential information
belonging to all prior employers, if he is obligated to do so. 
 24. Notification of New Employer. Upon termination of this Agreement
for any reason, or expiration of this Agreement, Executive hereby consents to the notification by the Company to Executive’s new employer of the provisions of Sections 7, 8, and 9 of this Agreement. In addition, during the Non-Interference
Period, in the event that Executive plans to render business services to a company that works in a similar field as the Company, Executive agrees to provide the Company with as much notice as possible of Executive’s intention to join that
company or business but in no event will Executive provide less than two weeks notice of that intention; provided, however, the provision of such notice and the Company’s receipt thereof shall not constitute a waiver of any breach of any
provision of this Agreement. 
 25. Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Executive, his
heirs and personal representatives, and the Company, its successors and assigns. 
 26. Remedies. The parties recognize and affirm
that in the event of a breach of Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement, money damages would be inadequate and the Company would not have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties agree that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach of
Sections 7 and 8, the Company may, in addition and supplementary to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to
enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). In addition, Executive agrees that in the event a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator finds that Executive violated Sections 7 or 8,
the time periods set forth in those Sections shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been cured. Executive further agrees that the Company shall have the right to offset the amount of any damages resulting from a breach by Executive of
Sections 7 or 8 against any payments due Executive under this Agreement; provided, however, that any such amount offset will be deposited into an escrow account pending adjudication of the dispute giving rise to the offset. 
  

 11 of 14 

 27. Arbitration. Other than as stated in Section 26, the parties agree that any controversy
or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take
place in Chicago, Illinois. All disputes shall be resolved by a one (1) arbitrator. The method for selecting the arbitrator is set forth in the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator will have the authority to award the same
remedies, damages, and costs that a court could award, and will have the additional authority to award those remedies set forth in Section 26. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned award explaining the decision, the reasons for the decision,
and any damages awarded, including those set forth in Section 26 where the arbitrator finds Executive violated Sections 7 or 8. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding. The judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may
be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration proceedings, any record of the same, and the award shall be considered Confidential Information under this Agreement. This provision and any decision and award hereunder can be
enforced under the Federal Arbitration Act. 
 28. Indemnification. The Company agrees that if Executive is made a party to or
involved in, or is threatened to be made a party to or otherwise to be involved in, any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was an
officer or employee of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including
service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is Executive’s alleged action in an official capacity while serving as an officer, member, employee or agent, Executive shall be indemnified and held
harmless by the Company against any and all liabilities, losses, expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts reasonably paid in settlement in connection therewith, to the fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by the Company’s
By-laws or, if greater, by the laws of the State of Delaware, as may be in effect from time to time, except that this Section 28 shall not apply to the following Proceedings: (a) any Proceeding initiated or brought voluntarily by Executive
against the Company or its directors, officers employees or other indemnitees, unless the Board of Directors has authorized or consented to the initiation of the Proceeding (or any part of the Proceeding), and (b) for an accounting of profits
made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Executive of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section l6(b) of the Exchange Act or any similar successor statute. The lights conferred on Executive by this Section 28

Section 28 shall continue until and terminate upon the latest of: (a) the statute of limitations applicable to any claim that could be asserted against Executive with respect to which he may be entitled to indemnification under this
Section 28, (b) ten years after the date that Executive has ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company or as a director, officer, employee, member, or agent of any other corporation, limited liability corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise at the request of the Company, or (c) if, at the later of the dates referred to in (a) and (b) above, there is a pending Proceeding in respect of which Executive is granted rights of indemnification
under this Section 28, one year after the final termination of such Proceeding, including any and all appeals. The indemnifications provided for by this Section 28 shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators.

 29. Tax Gross Up.

connection with a Change in Control, Executive becomes subject to taxes of any state, local or federal taxing authority that would not have been imposed on such payments but for the occurrence of a Change in Control, including any excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Code an any successor or comparable provision, then, in addition to any other benefits provided under or pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, Company (including any successor to Company) shall pay to Executive at the
time any such payments are made under or pursuant to this or the other agreements, an amount equal to the amount of any such taxes imposed or to be imposed on Executive (the amount of any such payment, the “Parachute Tax Reimbursement”).

 (b) In addition, Company (including any successor to Company) shall “gross up” such Parachute Tax Reimbursement
by paying to Executive at the same time an additional amount equal to the aggregate amount of any additional taxes (whether income taxes, excise taxes, special taxes, employment taxes or otherwise) that are or will be payable by Executive as a
result of the Parachute Tax Reimbursement being paid or payable to Executive and/or as a result of the additional amounts paid or payable to Executive pursuant to this sentence, such that after payment of such additional taxes Executive shall have

 12 of 14 

 (c) The amount of any Parachute Tax Reimbursement and of any such gross-up amounts shall
be determined by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (with all such cost borne by the Company), whose determination, absent manifest error, shall be treated as conclusive and binding absent a binding determination by a
governmental taxing authority that a greater amount of taxes is payable by Executive. 
 (d) The term “Change in
Control” shall mean a transaction or event (or series of transactions or events) as a result of which any “person” as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than any Excluded Person, the Company

LLC held immediately prior to such transaction or event (or series of transactions or events) and all director designees of New Affirmative LLC are no longer on the Company’s Board; provided, however, that in no event shall the distribution,
sale, transfer, or acquisition of securities of the Company held by New Affirmative LLC or any Excluded Persons (or any successor thereof) to any Excluded Person trigger a “Change in Control.” “Excluded Person” shall mean any of
New Affirmative LLC, Affirmative Investment LLC, The Enstar Group, Inc. and any of their respective stockholders, members, affiliates, subsidiaries, or any such persons under common control 
 30. Fees and Expenses. To induce the Executive to execute this Agreement and to provide the Executive with reasonable assurance that the purposes
of this Agreement will not be frustrated by the cost of its enforcement should the Company fail to perform its obligations under this Agreement: 
 (a) In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company prior to a Change in Control either for Cause or without Cause, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable
attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs incurred by the Executive as a result of any litigation by the Executive regarding the validity, enforceability or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement (except as stated in
Section 8(e), and including as a result of any litigation by the Executive regarding the benefits payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement); provided, however, that such reimbursement shall only be payable by the Company (i) if
the Executive prevails on any material issues involved in such litigation and(ii) upon receipt of proof of such expenses. 
 (b) In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated after a Change in Control either by the Company either for Cause or without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for any
reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs incurred by the Executive as a result of any litigation by the Executive regarding the validity, enforceability or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement (except as stated in

contest.
